Data Dynamics Reports

Data Dynamics Reports is a new reporting engine for .NET developers that adds significant enhancements to standard RDL-based reports!

Master Reports: Allow report authors to create living templates that automatically update when the master report is updated.
Data Visualizers: Make it easier for those consuming the report to get the general idea of what the data is doing without comparing every single line.
