The RAD Studio environment supports the integration of report objects in your applications. This integration allows you to create a report using the Rave Reports Designer or to add Rave Reports ActiveX components directly onto your Web Forms in the RAD Studio Designer. Your application users can create and display their own reports, or display existing reports. The RAD Studio integration with Rave Reports allows you to:

- Include new report objects in projects.
- Add Rave Reports ActiveX objects onto Web Forms.

Creating New Reports in RAD Studio

You can include Rave reports in RAD Studio just as you would other third-party components. The report is stored as a separate Rave Report object. You can reference the report in other applications that need to call or generate that report. When you create a new application, you can include the report object by adding a reference to it in the Project Manager. Rave Reports also provide the capability to connect your report object to a datasource, which allows your application to build the report dynamically, based on current database information.

Using Rave Reports ActiveX Components

You can add any Rave Reports ActiveX objects to your applications. The RAD StudioTool Palette provides a list of any available ActiveX objects. Just drag the objects you want onto a Windows Form or a Web Form during design. Fill in the appropriate properties and modify any code in the Code Editor. You may need to reset your .NET components and select the ActiveX components from the Installed .NET Components dialog.
