Compare Trends with Multi-Series Spline Charts

May 8, 2025
Visualize evolving relationships between multiple datasets and effectively identify correlations over time with multi-series spline charts.

Spline charts are a type of line graph that displays continuous data points connected by smooth, curved lines, offering a visually fluid representation of trends and changes over time. This smoothing effect helps to highlight the overall trajectory of the data and can provide estimations of values between plotted points. Multi-Series Spline Charts extend this functionality by plotting multiple related datasets on the same graph, enabling direct visual comparison of their trends and the identification of correlations or divergences.

Several .NET Blazor chart controls offer spline charts including:

  • TeeChart Blazor renders interactive spline charts, enabling clear trend visualization and data comparison through smooth, customizable curves.
  • FusionCharts Blazor Suite XT empowers Blazor developers with versatile spline charts to illustrate continuous data and highlight comparative trends across multiple series.
  • Infragistics Blazor Charts (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) provides feature-rich spline chart components, facilitating insightful trend analysis and smooth data representation.
  • Syncfusion Blazor Chart (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) offers comprehensive spline chart functionality, allowing dynamic data visualization.

Structure Your Data for Smarter Decisions

May 2, 2025
Grid components with advanced visualization features help users make sense of complex data by organizing and summarizing information.

Data visualization and analysis features in grid components transform raw tabular data into structured, interpretable formats that support faster insights and decision-making. These features go beyond static display, offering dynamic ways to organize, summarize, and explore data directly within the grid interface, making it a powerful tool for both end-users and analysts.

Common features include:

  • Aggregation calculates totals, averages, or other metrics across rows to highlight trends at a glance.
  • Grouping allows rows to be organized by shared field values, making large datasets easier to navigate and compare.
  • Drill-down lets users explore underlying details by expanding grouped data or linked rows, providing a layered view of complex datasets.
  • Merging Cells helps visually consolidate repetitive values or headings, improving readability and reducing clutter.
  • Tooltips offer context-sensitive information on hover, helping users understand data without overwhelming the grid with visible labels.

Improve Load Times with Manual Report Preview

April 25, 2025
Telerik Reporting 2025 Q1 introduces user-triggered report previews for Blazor and Angular, improving rendering efficiency.

Telerik Reporting is a comprehensive and lightweight embedded reporting tool for .NET web and desktop applications. It enables developers and reporting users to create, design, and export visually appealing, interactive, and reusable reports to effectively present analytical and business data. It supports various technologies, including ASP.NET Core, Blazor, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET AJAX, HTML5/JS, Angular, WPF, WinForms, and WinUI.

The Telerik Reporting 2025 Q1 update introduces user-initiated initial report preview in the native Blazor and Angular viewers, giving developers greater control over how and when reports are rendered. Instead of automatically generating reports on viewer load, this feature allows end users to manually trigger the preview process. This improvement helps reduce unnecessary data processing and improves application performance, particularly in scenarios involving large datasets or complex report logic. It also supports more efficient resource management on both the client and server sides, enabling developers to create faster, more responsive, and user-friendly reporting experiences.

To see a full list of what's new in 2025 Q1 (19.0.25.211), see our release notes.

Telerik Reporting is licensed per developer and has two licensing models: an annual Subscription License and a Perpetual License. The Subscription license provides access to the latest product updates, technical support, and exclusive benefits for a flat annual fee, and must be renewed to continue using the software. The Perpetual license is a one-time purchase granting access to the current released version and includes a one-year subscription for product updates and technical support. After this initial period, users can choose to renew the subscription element to continue receiving updates and support; otherwise, they may continue using the installed version available during their active subscription term but will forgo future updates and support. See our Telerik Reporting licensing page for full details.

Telerik Reporting is available to buy in the following products:

Simplify Multi-Selection with Tag-Based Input

April 25, 2025
Tag and token editors allow developers to present complex selection tasks in a user-friendly format, enabling concise selection from dropdown lists.

Token or tag boxes provide a user-friendly interface for selecting multiple items from a list. These controls present each selected item as a visually distinct "tag" or "token" within the input area, allowing for quick recognition and easy removal. Ideal for scenarios like multi-category selection or user input of discrete values such as emails or keywords, token boxes enhance both the user experience and data clarity, particularly in web applications that require dynamic form entry or filtering.

Several Blazor Data Editors offer support for token boxes including:

  • DevExpress Blazor Data Editors (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) offers a robust TagBox component that allows users to select multiple values from a drop-down list.
  • Telerik UI for Blazor Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for Blazor) includes a MultiSelect component with tokenized item display, built-in filtering, and keyboard navigation.
  • Blazorise Data Editors features a MultiSelect component with support for tags, search functionality, and custom rendering, making it suitable for highly interactive applications.
  • NOV UI for .NET Data Editors by Nevron incorporates a TagBox element that supports features like tag validation, dynamic data sources, and item templates.
