About .NET ----------------- ReportBuilder 9 for VCL is a native Win32 product.
A ReportBuilder for VCL.NET product has been shelved, just prior to completion. There are no plans to release it unless the VCL.NET platform can prove itself capable of building non-trivial applications. Digital Metaphors will not release a product that cannot perform up to our expectations and the anticipated expectations of developers and end-users. Thus far we have seen little demand for VCL.NET. We will continue to evaluate VCL.NET going forward.
A ReportBuilder for pure .NET is being developed for the longer term future.
The real strength of .NET is remoting and ASP.NET. We are considering and researching the possibility of a hybrid solution that enables Win32 based reports to be viewed using ASP.NET code and possibly WinForms code.
