Stimulsoft Reports.Wpf 2009.3 released

Stimulsoft Reports.Wpf is a reporting component developed for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Many WPF features are available including: rich rendering, viewing, printing and exporting reports etc.  Stimulsoft Reports.Wpf uses a reporting engine which is based on Stimulsoft’s many years of experience developing and using reporting tools. With Stimulsoft Reports.Wpf you only need to use a couple of lines of code to execute complex operations with a report. The Stimulsoft Reports.Wpf report engine offers many features for report creation including: a designer, viewer, data binding, WYSIWYG printing, exporting (PDF, XPS, Excel, Word, Open Office) and more.

Updates in 2009.3

• The Table component
  This new component increases the speed of report building. It simplifies work with some controls. When using the Table, a user does not work with separate components placed in bands but with a structure of correlated cells. Size change, formatting, data filling all this can be easily done using the Table component.
• HTML tags
  Now Reports.Wpf completely supports the AllowHtmlTags property of the Text component. All tags which Reports.Net supports are also supported in the .Wpf version.
• Super ToolTips
  Super ToolTips provide much more information about controls. Detailed tips describe almost each button. Super ToolTips are available both in the designer and in the viewer.
• Property Grid
  The appearance of the Property Grid of the report designer is changed this new version of the PropertyGrid component can work with all fields of all report components.
• Cross-source
  Very complicated preliminary data processing is possible with the Cross-source. Cross-source is a cross table but the results of rendering are not shown in a report but used with other components (can be used with charts for example).
• Save images in assemblies sources
  There was an old problem in our reporting tool where it was impossible to include big images to the report body. Now such images will be automatically placed in the report assemblies sources. To disable this property you need to use the StoreImageInResources property. This property is added to a report and is available in the report designer.
• Standalone reports
  In previous versions of the reporting tool it was possible to create standalone reports from code. Now this function is available from the Save As command of the report designer menu. Please, notice that standalone reports will work only if Stimulsoft Reports.Net assemblies are installed in GAC.
