Février 12, 2024
Le choix d’un composant de création de rapports, avec prise en charge du format JSON, permet une interopérabilité et un traitement dynamique des données pour obtenir des rapports adaptables.

Aidez les utilisateurs à naviguer dans les PDF à l’aide des vignettes de page

Février 12, 2024
Les composants PDF, avec prise en charge de la navigation par vignettes, offrent aux utilisateurs une interface familière pour explorer avec fluidité des documents dans votre application WPF.
