Using Stimulsoft as an Alternative to RDLC in .NET Core
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2025 6:37 am
Hi everyone,
I’m currently using RDLC reports in my .NET Core (.NET 5.0) application, but I’ve found it difficult to find proper support and a drag-and-drop designer for Linux or cross-platform environments.
I’m looking for a good alternative that allows me to create complex, parameterized PDF reports with a visual designer integrated in Visual Studio or usable separately.
Can Stimulsoft Reports.WEB be used as an alternative to RDLC for this purpose?
If so, could someone please explain how to integrate it with a .NET Core project and generate PDF reports programmatically?
Thank you!
