Reporting in Your Applications with Embarcadero RAD Studio

List & Label is a reporting component that integrates with applications to provide them with rich reporting capabilities. It allows developers to create sophisticated reports based on data from any source. Easy data binding for your own VCL applications is provided by List & Label’s FireDAC component, which supports numerous data sources such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, SQLite, DB2, MySQL and PostgreSQL, as well as many other databases and formats. The control over the data for reporting always remains with the application itself.

New Service Pack 28.003 for List & Label and the Report Server

The new service pack 28.003 for List & Label extends your reporting with support for Embarcadero RAD Studio 11.3 and new chart types in the Web Report Designer. In addition, the corresponding Enterprise NuGet packages are now available for all .NET assemblies for a smooth integration into your projects. For a detailed list of all changes, see the servicepack.pdf in your installation or in the service pack download section.

Building a Better Databinding Ecosystem for Delphi

The IDataProvider interface for .NET has enabled many features that are not available for all of the other platforms so far. Most importantly, it brings multiple report containers and nested tables. For C++, we've included a sample in LL21. This is sadly missing in Delphi. In addition, the current Delphi data-binding engine still works against the BDE, a technology that has been deprecated quite a while ago by Embarcadero.
