which report is better in faster way of showing reports

Question

RDCL report was slow in showing reports with huge set of datas What is good alternative for this

Jaish Mathews · Answer

If RDLC (Report Definition Language Client-side) reports are slow when handling large datasets consider these alternatives: 1. Optimize RDLC Reports Reduce Dataset Size: Fetch only the required data by filtering in SQL queries. Pagination: Display data in smaller chunks using pagination. Pre-aggregated Data: Use SQL views or stored procedures to pre-aggregate data. Server-side Processing: Process heavy computations on the server instead of in the report. 2. Switch to Alternative Reporting Tools If RDLC optimization isn’t enough these tools offer better performance with large datasets: Microsoft Power BI: Handles large datasets efficiently. Offers interactive dashboards and reports. Can connect to various data sources directly. SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS): A server-based report generation tool. Scales better for large datasets compared to RDLC. Crystal Reports: Known for handling complex reports and large data volumes. DevExpress Reporting: High-performance reporting components that integrate seamlessly with .NET applications. Telerik Reporting: Lightweight and feature-rich suitable for web and desktop applications. FastReport: Designed for speed and efficiency with large datasets. 3. Use Data Virtualization Virtualize data in reports to load only visible parts dynamically. Tools like Kendo UI Grid or Syncfusion DataGrid can implement this for web-based applications. 4. Pre-generate Reports Generate reports during non-peak hours and cache them for quick retrieval. 5. Export to External Tools Export data to Excel CSV or other formats where users can analyze it further without the overhead of rendering in the application.
