Vincule informes a IList en aplicaciones .NET

Enero 6, 2026
Utilice colecciones .NET en memoria como fuentes directas de datos para crear informes flexibles y libres de bases de datos en tiempo de ejecución.

IList data source support in .NET Reporting components allows developers to bind reports directly to in-memory collections that implement the IList interface, such as generic lists or arrays. This capability offers flexibility for working with dynamically generated data or data not stored in a traditional database, making it easier to integrate with object-oriented models. It reduces the need for intermediary storage, supports runtime data manipulation, and is particularly effective in applications where data is constructed or retrieved at runtime through APIs rather than direct database access.

Several .NET Reporting controls offer IList data connectivity including:

  • DevExpress Reporting lets you connect reports to IList-based collections, enabling flexible in-memory data binding without requiring a database layer.
  • ActiveReports.NET Professional by MESCIUS allows you to use IList objects as data sources, supporting direct reporting from application-level collections.
  • Telerik Reporting facilitates binding to IList implementations, making it easy to report on dynamically generated or API-fetched in-memory data.
  • List & Label Professional Reporting Edition by combit supports IList data sources, allowing efficient report generation from structured objects or arrays within your application.

Resuma conjuntos de datos con tablas dinámicas integradas

Enero 6, 2026
Spread.NET v19 añade un motor de tabla dinámica que permite a los usuarios resumir, analizar y explorar grandes conjuntos de datos directamente dentro de la hoja de cálculo.

Spread.NET by MESCIUS is a tool for building Excel-like applications in your .NET projects. It lets you create interactive spreadsheets, grids, dashboards, and even forms within WinForms, ASP.NET, and WPF applications. With its rich feature set, including a robust calculation engine, formula support, and Excel compatibility, Spread.NET helps developers to build data analysis tools, budgeting apps, scientific dashboards, and more, all within the familiar .NET environment.

The Spread.NET v19 update introduces a new pivot table engine that enables software developers to summarize, analyze, and explore large datasets directly within WinForms applications. This built-in capability supports interactive grouping, filtering, and multidimensional analysis inside the spreadsheet, allowing users to work with complex data without exporting it to external reporting or business intelligence tools. By delivering Excel-like pivot table functionality with high performance and programmatic control, the pivot engine helps developers simplify application architecture, reduce dependencies, and provide a more integrated and responsive data analysis experience for end users.

To see a full list of what's new in v19, see our release notes.

Spread.NET is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. We can supply any Spread.NET license including new licenses, maintenance renewals, and upgrade licenses. See our Spread.NET licensing page for full details.

Optimice la visualización de cuadrículas en proyectos .NET

Enero 6, 2026
El spanning de columnas distribuye el espacio de manera uniforme, permitiendo que las cuadrículas .NET se adapten limpiamente a cualquier ancho de contenedor sin necesidad de redimensionar manualmente.

Data grids with column spanning functionality can be configured so the columns collectively extend to fill the entire width of the container, eliminating unused or empty space at the grid's edges. This behavior ensures that available horizontal space is distributed across columns rather than leaving fixed-width gaps, resulting in a more balanced and visually consistent layout. The primary benefits are improved readability, more efficient use of screen space, and a layout that adapts smoothly to resizing and different display sizes without requiring manual adjustment of individual column widths.

Several .NET grid components allow column spanning, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows columns to stretch across the container width, eliminating edge whitespace automatically.
  • ComponentOne .NET MAUI FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne WinUI and MAUI Edition by MESCIUS) distributes column widths to fully occupy available container space responsively.
  • Xceed DataGrid for WPF by Xceed Software facilitates automatic column width stretching so grids fill their containers without leaving unused margins during resizing.
  • Blazorise allows you to build grid layouts where columns expand to fill container width, ensuring consistent spacing responsively across devices.

Visualice métricas claramente en una cuadrícula de datos estructurada

Diciembre 30, 2025
LightningChart Python v2.1 añade una nueva cuadrícula de datos que presenta KPI, métricas y tendencias visuales en las celdas en una única vista totalmente personalizable.

LightningChart Python is a high-performance visualization library designed for real-time analytics and large-scale data rendering. Utilizing GPU acceleration and WebGL, it efficiently processes millions of data points in 2D and 3D with smooth, interactive visuals. Some example chart types include Line graphs, Scatter plots, Heatmaps, Area plots, Box plots, 3D Surface graphs and Mesh plots, and it supports UI elements such as CustomTicks, interval Bands and Constant Lines. It integrates with Python’s data ecosystem, including numpy, pandas, and GUI frameworks like PyQt and PySide, making it a powerful tool for interactive dashboards, financial analytics, scientific simulations, and engineering applications.

The LightningChart Python v2.1 update introduces a new DataGrid component that allows software developers to present metrics, KPIs, and trend information in a single, structured view, combining textual data, numeric values, and compact in-cell charts. By embedding visual context such as sparklines, markers, and thresholds directly within the grid, developers can deliver clearer, more actionable insights without relying on separate chart components. The DataGrid also provides extensive control over styling, enabling consistent integration with existing application designs while reducing the effort required to build and maintain custom data presentation solutions.

To see a full list of what's new in v2.1, see our release notes.

LightningChart Python offers two licensing options: the subscription-based Data Scientist License for internal, non-public facing usage and the perpetual, per-seat Software Developer License for commercial use with professional support and deployment keys. Both licenses allow one active session per user, with developer licenses assigned individually. See our LightningChart Python licensing page for full details.

Cree PDF profesionales listos para imprimir con una conversión fiable de Word a PDF que preserva el formato y se muestra de forma consistente en todos los dispositivos.

Converting Word to PDF involves transforming DOC or DOCX documents into a fixed, universally supported format that preserves formatting, layout, fonts, and images. This process ensures documents display consistently across different devices, operating systems, and applications, regardless of whether the recipient has Microsoft Word installed. By reducing the risk of unintended edits and layout changes, PDF output provides a more secure and professional way to share finalized content. Typical use cases include distributing reports, proposals, and contracts, preparing documents for printing, sharing files with external stakeholders, and archiving important records for long-term storage or compliance purposes.

Several .NET components offer Word to PDF conversion including:

  • DevExpress PDF Document API for .NET (part of DevExpress Office File API) lets you convert Word documents to PDFs while preserving layout, fonts, consistency accurately.
  • ImageGear for .NET lets you convert Word files into PDFs optimized for viewing, printing, archiving, and long-term document preservation needs.
  • GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET facilitates Word to PDF conversion, maintaining document structure, visual accuracy, and cross-device compatibility.
  • IronPDF for .NET allows you to transform DOC and DOCX files into reliable PDFs with consistent formatting across platforms.
