Let's face it, designing reports is not just time consuming, it can be downright boring! But, end-users rely on printed reports and most applications require them. So, what if you could take the power of your UI and allow your users to render it to paper?

With visual controls like the XtraGrid and XtraTreeList, you already have a wealth of data on-screen - which users can manipulate as they see fit: They can summarize data on any column, display Master/Detail Info, group and sort against any column, etc. In the end, this is the essence of a banded report - and with the XtraPrinting Library in your arsenal, you can render the contents of your XtraGrid and XtraTreeList to paper - AND NEVER HAVE TO WRITE A BANDED REPORT AGAIN!

Here is a brief list of features available to you when using the XtraPrinting Library:

• Render and print the XtraGrid.
• Render and print the XtraTreeList.
• Render and print the MS .Net Grid.
