FAQ
Getting started & integration
How do I add List & Label to a .NET project?
Install the List & Label NuGet package, add a render call (template + data), and export to a format (e.g., PDF). You can run it entirely from code. No designer required.
Can I generate reports without the visual designer?
Yes. You can create and render reports entirely via code using the API. The Designer is optional.
Is List & Label a standalone reporting tool?
No. It is a developer component. You integrate the report generator into your software and optionally ship the end-user Designer. If you are looking for a standalone reporting tool, have a look at the combit Report Server.
Can I migrate templates from other report generators?
Yes, you can migrate templates from other report generators to List & Label, but the level of automation depends on the source system.
Deployment & platforms
Can I render reports on a server or in background jobs?
Yes. The cross platform engine supports headless rendering in Windows services, Linux daemons, and scheduled tasks. No UI needed.
Does it work in Docker / Kubernetes?
Yes. The report generator runs headless in containers.
What platforms does List & Label support?
Windows desktop (WinForms, WPF, Delphi), web (ASP.NET), and cloud deployments.
Can I use List & Label for cross-platform reporting?
Yes. List & Label Cross Platform (LLCP) is designed to support reporting on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including Docker containers and cloud environments.
Is List & Label cloud-based?
Optionally yes (if your own app runs in the cloud), but basically no. It runs inside your application, which helps with data privacy and compliance.
Data & templates
Where should I keep report templates?
Store templates in Git (or your repo) like code. Many teams load them at runtime from a folder, data base, or object storage.
Can I use List & Label with my existing database?
Yes. It supports virtually any data source — from SQL to object collections, XML/JSON, REST, and OData.
Can I use List & Label with REST APIs or in-memory objects?
Yes. In addition to classic databases, it works with REST endpoints, XML/JSON, and in-memory data structures.
How do I localize reports (dates, numbers, etc.)?
Set the culture at runtime and use localized strings in templates. Use the Translate$ function and the built-in Dictionary to manage translations for labels, dates, numbers, and more.
Designer & licensing
Can I limit what end users can change in the designer?
Yes. You can hide features, lock data sources, restrict fields, and whitelist export formats per role or customer.
How is List & Label licensed?
Licensing is developer-based and includes royalty-free distribution. You can distribute the component as part of your app without additional fees. More questions about licensing? Visit the licensing FAQ.
