Stimulsoft Reportswpf -

While this write-up focuses on WPF, Stimulsoft’s ecosystem includes products for Blazor, ASP.NET, and WinForms. The report file format (.mrt) is largely compatible across platforms. This means a report designed in a web portal can often be reused in a WPF desktop client with minimal adjustment.

If you’d like, I can:

(Note: I can expand any section you prefer.)

// Render report
report.Render();
// Export to PDF
StiPdfExportService pdfExport = new StiPdfExportService();
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream("Report.pdf", FileMode.Create))
pdfExport.ExportPdf(report, stream);

What specific functionalities make this tool stand out for WPF developers?

You are not forced to use the visual designer. You can create entire reports programmatically: While this write-up focuses on WPF, Stimulsoft’s ecosystem

var report = new StiReport();
report.Pages.Clear();
var page = report.Pages.Add();
var text = new StiText(new RectangleD(0, 0, 5, 1));
text.Text = "Hello, WPF World!";
page.Components.Add(text);
report.Render();
viewerControl.Report = report;

Stimulsoft Reports.WPF is a .NET reporting tool tailored for WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) applications. It provides a designer and runtime components that let developers create, preview, and export rich, interactive reports inside WPF desktop apps. Below is a concise, practical article you can use or adapt.

While the StiViewerControl is a View, you should never pass a StiReport directly from the ViewModel to the View via properties if you want to maintain pure MVVM. Instead, use a service.

View Model:

public class ReportsViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
private readonly IReportService _reportService;
    public StiReport CurrentReport  get; set; 
public ICommand LoadSalesReportCommand  get;
public ReportsViewModel()
LoadSalesReportCommand = new RelayCommand(OnLoadSalesReport);
private void OnLoadSalesReport()
var report = new StiReport();
    report.Load("SalesReport.mrt");
// Bind data from your repository
    var salesData = _reportService.GetSalesData();
    report.RegData("Sales", salesData);
report.Render();
    CurrentReport = report;
    OnPropertyChanged(nameof(CurrentReport));

View (XAML):

<Window xmlns:stimulsoft="clr-namespace:Stimulsoft.Report.Controls;assembly=Stimulsoft.Report.Wpf">
    <Grid>
        <stimulsoft:StiViewerControl Report="Binding CurrentReport" />
    </Grid>
</Window>
