Updates in this release

Updates in 2009.3

• The Table component
  This new component allows increased speed of report building. It simplifies work with some controls. When using a Table, the 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.
• Super ToolTips
  Super Tooltips provide much more information about controls. Detailed tips describe each button. Super ToolTips are available both in the designer and in the viewer.
• Context Tabs
  Some components which are included into the product have very many properties. And it is very difficult to work with them. Stimulsoft have added Context Tabs to simplify settings of those components. Context Tabs are available for the Chart and the Table components.
• Ribbon report viewer
  New viewer is available both as a control and as a Tab in the Ribbon UI of the report designer.
• Save images in assemblies sources
  There was an old problem in the reporting tool when 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.
• 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).
