Nouvelles .NET 8 WPF

Placez avec précision les images des cellules pour une présentation soignée

Septembre 26, 2024
Spread.NET v17.2 permet aux utilisateurs d’ajuster, de remplir ou de personnaliser le placement des images dans les cellules, apportant flexibilité et précision à l’affichage des feuilles de calcul.

Spread.NET by MESCIUS is a powerful 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 empowers developers to build data analysis tools, budgeting apps, scientific dashboards, and more, all within the familiar .NET environment.

The Spread.NET v17.2 release introduces greater cell image versatility and customization. With four new distinct sizing options—Fit, Fill, Original, and Custom—users gain precise control over how images are displayed within cells. The Fit mode maintains the image's aspect ratio while ensuring it fits within the cell, preventing distortion. The Fill option covers the entire cell, disregarding the aspect ratio for full coverage. Original preserves the image's natural size, even if it exceeds the cell's dimensions, while Custom allows users to set specific height and width parameters. These flexible sizing options enhance the presentation of images, offering tailored solutions to fit various content needs, whether it’s for data visualization, design, or reporting purposes. This feature significantly improves visual control, ensuring consistency and a professional appearance across documents.

Améliorez la clarté des rapports grâce à des graphiques interactifs

Septembre 26, 2024
Donnez aux utilisateurs les moyens de visualiser des données complexes sans effort, pour optimiser les informations et la prise de décision grâce à l’intégration dynamique de graphiques en temps réel.

Charts within reports are graphical representations of data that allow users to visually interpret trends, comparisons, and patterns. They can take various forms, such as bar charts, line charts, or pie charts, and are typically integrated into dashboards or reporting tools to provide clear insights at a glance. By simplifying data visualization, charts enhance user experience and make it less taxing for users to understand complex information. Charts can be dynamically updated with real-time data, allowing for more responsive and insightful reporting in applications.

Several .NET WPF reporting controls offer support for charts including:

  • DevExpress Reports lets you create visually engaging reports with customizable charts, offering real-time data visualization and enhanced decision-making capabilities.
  • ActiveReports.NET allows you to design dynamic reports with a wide variety of chart options, simplifying complex data into actionable insights.
  • Stimulsoft Reports facilitates the generation of interactive reports with flexible charting features, helping users make data-driven decisions more efficiently.
  • MindFusion.Reporting enables you to craft detailed reports with integrated charts, providing clear, concise visual representations of complex datasets.

Personnalisez vos rapports en manipulant les données en temps réel

Septembre 25, 2024
Les contrôles de rapport WPF .NET avec fonctionnalité de champs calculés permettent de créer des rapports plus dynamiques et riches, sans modifier le jeu de données d’origine.

Calculated Fields in .NET WPF Reporting controls enable developers to dynamically compute values based on data from the report's dataset. These fields are not part of the original data source but are created by applying expressions, functions, or formulas to existing data. By leveraging calculated fields, developers can customize reports with real-time data manipulation, allowing for more sophisticated analysis and presentation without altering the underlying data model. The key benefits include reducing the need for external data processing, improving performance by handling computations within the report, and offering more flexibility in how data is displayed and interpreted.

Several .NET WPF reporting controls offer calculated field functionality including:

  • DevExpress Reports allows you to seamlessly design cross-platform reports with calculated fields for precise data transformation and aggregation.
  • ActiveReports .NET by MESCIUS lets you create dynamic, custom reports by integrating powerful calculated fields, enhancing data presentation and analysis.
  • Telerik Reporting facilitates detailed report customization utilizing calculated fields to compute complex expressions and enhance data-driven reports.
  • TX Text Control .NET for WPF Enterprise by Text Control integrates calculated fields, providing dynamic data computations within formatted, WPF-based reporting documents.
  • List & Label Enterprise Reporting Edition by combit enables advanced reporting with customizable calculated fields, empowering users to derive insights from complex data.

Affichez des données hiérarchiques dans des applications .NET 8 WPF

Septembre 12, 2024
Tirez parti de la structure vue principale-détaillée pour organiser et explorer efficacement les enregistrements de données, en préservant la hiérarchie et en améliorant l’expérience utilisateur.

Master-detail is a user interface design technique where a primary data set (the master) is displayed in a grid format, and related information (the detail) is typically shown in an adjacent pane when a master item is selected. The resulting hierarchical structure allows users to efficiently navigate and explore complex data sets by viewing high-level information in the master grid while accessing more granular details on demand, without navigating away from the main page. The master-detail view enhances the user experience as it improves the organization of the grid and streamlines workflows as users can quickly switch between records and details.

Several .NET 8 WPF grid components offer support for master-detail, including:

  • FlexGrid for WPF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF) by MESCIUS lets you easily create master-detail relationships between data items in your .NET 8 grid application.
  • NOV Grid for .NET (part of Nevron Open Vision for .NET) includes a master-detail feature, providing hierarchical data structures in an organized, dynamic grid interface.
  • Xceed DataGrid for WPF by Xceed Software offers a flexible master-detail layout to display relational data, allowing users to drill down into data records.
  • Infragistics XamDataGrid for WPF (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) facilitates the creation of complex master-detail views, streamlining hierarchical data exploration.
