Design Reports in Vue.js with RTL Support

August 22, 2025
Using report controls that support right to left layouts, Vue.js developers can equip their reporting applications to handle RTL languages with ease.

RTL support (Right-to-Left) enables the creation and viewing of reports that can accommodate languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and so on. In the context of report design, this involves aligning text, tables, charts, and interface elements in a way that respects the natural reading direction of said languages, so that the report is displayed correctly for the target audience. Support for RTL languages is a key capability for developers and organizations operating in multilingual environments, ensuring users working in these languages can design, view, and interpret reports accurately and comfortably within the reporting application.

Several Vue.js reporting components include RTL support, including:

  • DevExpress Reporting offers Vue.js developers comprehensive report controls that support right-to-left layout alignment for RTL language environments.
  • ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS lets you design and preview RTL-based reports with proper text alignment, layout orientation, and interactive viewing for RTL language users.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS also supports Vue.js as well as having built-in RTL rendering to ensure report content aligns as required for right-to-left languages.

Run ReSharper Separately for Better Stability

August 22, 2025
ReSharper 2025.2 introduces out-of-process support, improving reliability by decoupling it from Visual Studio.

ReSharper is a productivity and code quality plugin for Visual Studio, developed by JetBrains. It helps .NET developers write cleaner, more efficient code. By analyzing code on-the-fly, ReSharper identifies potential errors and suggests fixes. It also automates code refactoring, allowing developers to safely restructure their codebase. These features improve developer productivity and maintainability of the code, making ReSharper a valuable tool for both individual developers and development teams.

The ReSharper 2025.2 release includes a public preview of its new Out-of-Process (OOP) mode, marking the first stable release to support this architectural shift. The key improvement is that ReSharper now runs in a separate process from Microsoft Visual Studio, rather than being embedded directly into the IDE. This change promises to significantly enhance both stability and performance, especially in larger solutions. By isolating ReSharper from the Visual Studio environment, it reduces the likelihood of one tool affecting the responsiveness or reliability of the other. It also opens the door for future optimizations in memory usage and responsiveness, making this an important step forward for .NET developers using the Visual Studio ecosystem.

To see a full list of what's new in version 2025.2, see our release notes.

ReSharper is licensed per user, and is available as a commercial annual subscription license. We can supply new subscriptions, subscription renewals, lapsed renewals, and additional user licenses. See our ReSharper licensing page for full details.

Render Human-Readable Data with Barcode Symbols

August 22, 2025
BarcodePro Web API 4.0 adds support for human-readable text, giving developers precise control over how it appears with barcode symbols.

Neodynamic BarcodePro Web API for Docker is a containerized solution that brings robust barcode generation capabilities into modern cloud and microservice architectures. Packaged as a Docker container, it provides a clean, RESTful interface for generating a wide variety of 1D and 2D barcodes, such as Code-39, QR Code, Data Matrix, and GS1 standards, without the need for complex local dependencies. Its design allows developers to integrate barcode creation into distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, or containerized deployment environments with ease and consistency.

The Neodynamic BarcodePro Web API for Docker V4.0 release adds support for rendering human readable text with barcodes. The API automatically places a human-readable interpretation of the encoded data below the barcode symbol, ensuring end users, such as operators handling scans, can verify content, improving usability and reducing errors. This capability helps maintain consistency between machine-readable code and its corresponding text, particularly valuable in environments like warehousing, shipping, or point-of-sale.

To see a full list of what's new in V4.0, see our release notes.

Neodynamic BarcodePro Web API for Docker is licensed per developer and per server/client side deployment. Licenses are perpetual and include free updates and priority support for 1 year. See our Neodynamic BarcodePro Web API for Docker licensing page for full details.

Instantly Apply Consistent Styles to Data Grids

August 21, 2025
Apply pre-designed themes to grids to achieve consistent, accessible interfaces with less styling effort and a more polished user experience.

Built-in themes for grids are pre-designed visual styles that can be applied directly to data grid components within applications. These themes define elements such as color schemes, typography, spacing, and borders to create a consistent and polished appearance without requiring manual CSS. The primary benefit is efficiency, as teams can quickly implement a cohesive look that aligns with modern user interface standards. Built-in themes also enhance usability by improving readability, supporting accessibility, and offering a familiar interface that reduces user effort. For example, enterprise dashboards, admin panels, and financial reporting tools can all benefit from built-in themes to present complex data in a clear, user-friendly format while maintaining visual consistency across different parts of the application.

Several .NET Blazor grid components offer built-in theme support including:

  • Telerik UI for Blazor Grid (part of Telerik UI for Blazor) allows rapid styling with built‑in themes like Material, Bootstrap and Fluent that ensure a modern visual layout.
  • DevExpress Blazor Grid (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) offers built‑in Classic and Fluent themes, plus Bootstrap integration, enabling interface consistency.
  • Blazorise DataGrid (part of Blazorise) allows theming and appearance control through its theme API and templates for consistent styling.
  • Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) lets you apply default CSS or generate cohesive custom themes via Theme Studio.
