What is (in your opinion) the best reporting tool supported by UniDAC?

The version of FastReport included with Delphi is not ok since it doesn't support parameters.
So before buying an upgrade of FastReport to get this functionality, I was wondering if you had any suggestions.
I have seen a demo of ReportBuilder but I can't find out if it can be used with UniDAC.

Hello,

There is a component in UniDAC for work with Fast-Report (..\Devart\UniDAC for RadStudio XE2[XE3]\Demos\ThirdParty\FastReport\FR4\), which allows work with UniDAC directly in the report designer, there appears a possibility to add our UniDACDataBase, UniDACQuery and UniDACTable. In UniDACQuery you can still use parametric queries.

Yes the data can be selected as I want them, but I need also to send parameters to the report for other purpose. I have done that in a company where I worked earlier, but that was with a full version of FastReport that I have no access to now.

Hello,

Unfortunately, if version of Fast-Report does not support passing parameters from the application to the report and we cannot change this behavior. One of possible solutions for this problem with the absence of parameters is to use the TfrxDBDataSet component connected with UniQuery and to manage UniQuery itself in the application.
UniDAC is also compatible with ReportBuilder, please specify your version of Delphi and ReportBuilder, and an e-mail where I can send you the demo components for working with ReportBuilder.

I know you don't have the option to change FastReport

But you are the guys to ask about UniDAC

The version of ReportBuilder I have been looking at is 14.07 for Delphi XE3 (a trial version) so if you have any demo of that I would like to see that very much.

Hello,

I've sent you a component for working with Report Builder using UniDAC.

I received the component and will check it tomorrow at my work computer.

Thanks
