  • BeforePrint occurs after the report engine has been initialized. It fires
    prior to any report pages being generated. And it fires each time the report
    is asked to generate pages to a different output device. For example it

  • Digital Metaphors is extremely excited and proud to release ReportBuilder 9.
    We would like to invite all developers to please take the time to evaluate

  • Sorry, but we only the have the resources to support the latest 3 versions
