MarkupReporter drops a visual report designer into your own app as a NuGet package. Lay out banded reports, bind them to JSON or SQL Server, and render pixel-perfect PDFs on your own servers.
Start from the invoice template, add a heading and a column bound to your data, then preview the real PDF, with the table carrying on across pages.
A report designer that lives inside your app, not in somebody else's cloud.
Add text, images, tables and lists with a click, then drag and resize them into place across page headers, bands and footers. No hand-written HTML.
Bind to JSON, or write SQL against SQL Server with a table browser and live preview rows while you design.
SQL is for design time only. In production your app passes the data in, so the report never needs its own connection.
Reports render through headless Edge or Chrome, so the PDF matches what you laid out in the designer.
Everything runs on your own servers. Licence keys are signed and verified offline, with no phone-home.
A .NET 10 Razor Class Library. Add the package, open the designer in your dev environment, start building.
Add MarkupReporter to the app that will produce your reports.
Open the designer at /markupreporter in Development, add a JSON sample or a SQL Server query, and bind its fields from the Data panel. Unlicensed PDFs are watermarked, so you can try everything first.
Inject IReportBuilder, pass in your own data and get a PDF back. Binding ignores case, so your existing C# classes just work.
var report = await reports.BuildAsync(
"invoice", new { invoice });
// report.Pdf is your PDF
Every licence is for business use and includes a year of updates. Pay once by card and your licence key arrives by email. You can try everything free in development first.
For one named developer
For your whole development team
Yes. Everything works in your Development environment without a licence. PDFs are watermarked until you add a key.
Your licence is perpetual, so you can keep using every version released during your 12 months of updates for as long as you like. Renew at 50% off if you want another year of updates. See the licence terms for details.
No. Licence keys are signed and checked offline, so it works on air-gapped and locked-down servers.
JSON from any source, plus SQL Server for writing queries in the designer. In production your app supplies the data itself.
MarkupReporter is built for .NET 10.
A Chromium-based browser to render PDFs: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Chromium. Edge comes with Windows, so on most Windows servers there's nothing to install. MarkupReporter finds an installed browser automatically (Edge first), or you can choose one in configuration. It only downloads a browser for you in Development, never in production. Rendering is locked down: JavaScript is off and the browser can't reach the network.
Stripe is the merchant of record: it takes payment through its secure checkout, handles VAT and sales tax, and emails your receipt and invoice.
Install the package, build a report in the designer and see the PDF. Evaluating is free; buy a licence when you're ready to go to production.
