At present half the battle of business success is a flexible and effective corporate reporting system. Powerful Silverlight technology provides developers with fast, easy and cheap creation of RIA applications. However, the lack of built-in components for displaying the Reporting Services reports in Silverlight puts obstacles in the way of effective work with reports.

The product includes a native Silverlight control and is easily integrated into any Silverlight application. Full compatibility with Silverlight 4.0 provides the ability to use it not only in the applications, located directly on html pages, but also in the out-of-browser mode.
