What’s new in XtraReports Suite 2008 vol 2?

• Calculated Fields and Expression Editor Dialog - XtraReports Suite v2008 vol 2 allows you to add calculated fields to your data sources. Once you've added a field and specified its parent data table, you can build a formula to be used for value calculations. To make it easier to build these formulas and to enable calculated field generation via the End-User Designer, an advanced and easy-to-use Expression Editor dialog. With this dialog has been created, you can construct any expression that uses bound data field values, report parameter values and any constants. When a calculated field has been set up, you can use it as an ordinary data field anywhere across your reports. Its values can be simply displayed in report controls or can take part in data grouping, sorting or filtering.
• Report Parameters - The new Report Parameters feature provides your end-users an extremely easy way in which to customize reports. Assume you want end-users to filter a report by a particular value. Previously, you would have to write custom code or use the End User Report Designer to enable this type of capability. The XtraReports Suite v2008 vol 2 allows you to solve this and many other similar tasks by using report parameters. Reports now expose a collection wherein you can add as many parameters as you require. For each parameter, you specify a data type, description and default value. For instance, if you need to show reports filtered by a particular date, then you add a single date-time parameter. Once it has been added, you can use this parameter anywhere in your report - in filtering expressions, in the formula builder dialog, etc. When end-users run a report, they first see a dialog allowing them to modify parameter values. Once proper values have been entered, they can click Submit to start actual report generation. The same parameter customization dialog can be invoked at any time while previewing a report. When changes are present, the report will be re-generated with the newly updated parameter values.
• Running Totals and Percentage Calculations - In v2008 vol 2 two new summary types have been added - Running Sum and Percentage. The first is used when you need to accumulate summary values, i.e. each next value includes the sum of previous results. Note that XtraReports allows you to specify if the accumulation should continue across all report pages or if it should be reset with each new page or each new data group. The Percentage summary should be used for controls located in the Detail Band. If this summary type is applied, the control displays a percentage of the total summary value instead of its actual data. You can specify which summary should be considered to be 100% - total summary for the entire report or a summary calculated against the current page or data group.
• Localizable Property Grid -To make the End-User Report Designer more user-friendly, we now allow you to completely localize its Property Grid, including property and control names. In addition to the localization benefits of this new feature, you are now able to substitute property names with phrases that will be better understood by end-users. In XtraReports v2008 vol 2, we have made this substitution and UI style the default option. You can revert to the previous UI by changing a single property.

What’s new in XtraReports Suite vol 1?

New Cross-Tab Control - The new XRPivotGrid control is powered by the XtraPivotGrid Suite and allows you to design hassle-free cross-tab reports. This control is a better alternative to the previously available ways in which to build cross-tab reports. Because the XRPivotGrid wraps the XtraPrivotGrid Suite as a native report control, it's now infinitely easier to create and customize cross-tab reports, both in Visual Studio and within the End-User Report Designer.

Improved ASP.NET Reporting

• Client-Side Printing via Adobe® Plug-In - Printing a web report on the client side has always been a problem because a web browser used its own printing settings (e.g. paper kind, margins, etc.) to print a report which may have differed from the report's individual settings. So, end-users had to adjust page settings before every printing operation. For those using Internet Explorer with the Adobe Reader plug-in installed, this is no longer a problem. When a report is printed, XtraReports searches for the plug-in, and if found, first exports a report to PDF, and then prints the PDF file. In this instance all print settings are correctly passed from a report to the Print Dialog.
• Web Farms and Web Gardens Support - To properly operate in web farms and web gardens, XtraReports v2008 vol 1 now stores its data in a Session, which can be adjusted to allow access by multiple processes simultaneously. As for web farms, it's now possible to specify a shared folder in the web application's Web.config file. If all servers of a web farm have read/write access to this folder, XtraReports may use it to store all necessary data.

New Styles and Style Overriding - Added a StylePriority property to every report control, and now control properties may override the corresponding properties of a style assigned to a control.

Better Control Over Report Layouts

• Suppress empty or duplicate values
• Remove page headers and page footers from pages with report header or footer
• Keep master and detail reports together

What's New in XtraReports Suite v2007 vol. 3?

ASP.NET Reporting - Major Improvements - significantly improved the ASP.NET capabilities of the XtraReports Suite. The main controls - ReportViewer and ReportToolbar - have been completely re-written to use the the ASPxperience Suite.

Complete AJAX Callback Support - The ReportViewer control now uses callbacks for all operations. For instance, page navigation is accomplished via callbacks, automatically. 

Medium Trust Support - Since many web hosts do not grant Full Trust permission to their clients, now allow you to create reports that can be viewed and work at a Medium Trust permission level. 

• Report Caching for Faster Navigation and Export Operations
• Document Map Support (Bookmarks)
• The Ability to Build Custom Report Toolbars

Cross-Band Controls (Line and Box) - Previously, to draw a continuous line across several bands, you had to place a Line control into each band and then carefully align lines to one another. With the new cross-band Line and Box controls, these tasks become a matter of placing a single control onto your report.

Built-in Data Filtering - In previous versions, if you wanted to apply filtering to a report, you needed to manually filter the underlying data source. Now provide a more straightforward solution - you can specify any filter condition when designing a report, by either assigning it to the FilterString property or using the Filter Editor dialog. The specified condition will be automatically applied to the underlying data source when the report is generated.

Anchor Control Edges to Band Edges - This feature allows you to better control complex report layout. For instance, this features can be used when multiple controls are displayed side by side and their height depends on their content. To make certain these controls have the same height, anchor them to the band's top and bottom edges. The control's height will then be adjusted with respect to the band's actual height.

What's New in XtraReports Suite v2007 vol. 2?

Side-by-side Sub-report Printing – Developer Express have completed a comprehensive internal re-design so that side-by-side printing of several sub-reports is now possible. It doesn't matter if sub-reports are all bound to different data sources. You simply align them to one another vertically and you're done - different reports will be rendered in parallel.

Report Merging - You can now use pages from different reports to create a single combined report. To accomplish this, you simply insert the desired pages from one report to the desired positions within another. You can combine more than two reports and there are no limits regarding page order. Note also that page settings, such as page orientation, can be mixed within the resulting report. At its simplest, this feature can be used to print multiple reports as a single report - within a single printer task. This can help ensure that two related reports will be printed one by one on your printer so that no other printer task will be able to get between them. More sophisticated usage scenarios include the ability to produce a complex report with arbitrary page order and different page layout types. The resulting report will have continuous page numbering so that the report will look as a single document. Note that all export features (such as export to PDF) fully support this new capability.

Report Scaling within the Preview Window - This feature has been available for most Developer Express controls since DXperience v2007 vol. 1. It is now available for the XtraReports Suite. End-users can scale reports directly within the Print Preview window. A custom popup dialog allows them to specify report width in pages or a custom zoom factor.

Ribbon Integration - The End User Report Designer allows you to incorporate the Ribbon UI within your application.

Reports in Windows Forms Applications - Once you have constructed a report, you can display it in your Windows Forms application using a separate Print Preview form. You can also use a specially designed Print Preview control to embed a report to any existing form.

ASP.NET Report Viewer - To display XtraReports on a web page, all you need to do is drop the ASP.NET Report Viewer control (that ships with the XtraReports Suite) onto a page and set its ReportName property to that of the report you want to display. You can use the Report Viewer control on any web page, even inside an HTML control since exported HTML does not use absolute positioning and uses HTML Tables instead. Using HTML tables instead of absolute positioning allows it to support NN4+ and IE4+ as well as other browsers on the market today.

Report Toolbar Control for Easy Navigation - In addition to the Report Viewer Developer Express also provide a Report Toolbar control, which can be placed anywhere on a Web form and then linked to a Report Viewer, thus giving the ability to print or export a report in any of the existing formats, as well as providing advanced navigation functionality.

Write into an HTTP Response - You may write PDF or HTML Report streams directly into an HTTP Response. This is particularly useful for PDF documents since it allows you to generate reports in PDF in real time, after the end-user requests the information.
