Register Server Components

TECH TIP: Registering Classes with the Server

In order to minimize the overhead in reporting applications, ReportBuilder employs a unit level registration scheme (similar to component registration in Delphi.), whereby components and functionality can be added at the discretion of the developer. A report server application needs to include all of the classes required to execute the reports on the server.
