Updates in this release

Updates in 2011.2

• Report Checker for Web - A Report Checker is now available for report designers Designer.Web and Designer.Silverlight. This utility not only checks the report for errors, but also describes in detail the reason for their appearance, and offers suggestions to correct them. 
• Filters and Queries - In version 2011.1, as well as in all previous versions, filtration was processed mostly by the report generator. In the new version, users choose themselves how to filter - using the report generator or using an SQL query. If you are using the SQL query, the report generator will make changes of the SQL query text using a special algorithm, based on the specified filtration options. Filtration options are specified in the data band.
• New Import Tool - You can now import from Report Sharp-Shooter format. The utility supports the main elements of the product.
• Sorting and Filtration of Business Objects - Sorting and filtration is now possible for business objects. You can setup sorting and filtration using a standard editing dialog in the Data band. The configuration interface is exactly the same as for data sources.
• New Installer - This utility helps you to install or remove Stimulsoft Reports assemblies into the GAC. The tool is also a great help when using the NGEN utility in conjunction with Stimulsoft Reports assemblies.
• Google Docs and Storing Reports - All Stimulsoft report designers can now keep their reports in the Google Cloud. All you need is a GMail account.
• New Function - A new feature has been added to the data dictionary - ToWordsFa. The function converts a number to string in words in Persian. This feature is available in all versions of the report generator.
• Support for Dirhams in ToCurrencyWords - DHS (Dirham) has been added to the list of supported currencies.
• New Assistant - Options Helper - This tool helps you to understand report generator options and creates a list of changed parameters. This list can be loaded in your program to quickly initialize report generator properties.
• Parameters in Web - Parameters are supported in Reports.Web. New parameters can be changed in Designer.Web. They can be used using WebViewer.Fx. Using parameters greatly expands using reports and their interactivity. It supports not only simple values but ranges of values and values lists.
• Border.Topmost Property - This feature expands the visual abilities of reports.
• Page Order - Now you can change the order of the pages in the report designer for Web. It is as easy there as in the desktop report designer. This can be done using the context menu of the page tab.
• Globalization in Web - Now you can fully globalize your reports using the report editor for Web, without using the desktop version of the report designer.
• Printing to PDF File from WebViewerFx - Added support for printing to Adobe PDF files to enhance printing from Web applications
• New Types of Labels for Charts - The chart has three new types of Labels - in the center of the series, on the left and on the right side of the series. New types of series will more accurately show the chart information necessary for the user.
• Applying Style to Chart - Using this property, you can disable using a style in a particular element and set its own appearance values.
• Report and Page Setup Dialogs in Web - Dialog boxes for the configuration of report and page parameters have been completely redesigned in the report designer for Web. New dialog boxes allow you to quickly and visually change the basic parameters of the report and the current page.
• RefCursor and Oracle ODP Provider - RefCursor as a parameter is now supported in the Oracle ODP Provider. In order to use RefCursor as a parameter, select the Stored Procedure type of the query, add a parameter with the RefCursor type and then you can use a query in the report.
