Updates in this release

Updates in 2010.1

• Visual Studio 2010 support
• Report checking
  Ability to check a report for problems has been added. The report checker does not only inform you about the errors of compilations but provides multiple recommendations, messages, advice, and warnings about fixing the problems. You may immediately fix issues by some of the ways offered. Report checking works both in the report designer and by running the Report Checker utility.
• A new method of working with business objects
  Stimulsoft have introduced a new type of item in the data dictionary. Now working with Business Objects can be done directly, without the performance decreasing and problems with conversion.
• PDF/A compliance
  Now the product completely supports the PDF/A format. PDF/A is a file format for the long-term archiving of electronic documents. It is a subset of Adobe PDF. PDF/A must follow certain rules including following color management guidelines, using embedded fonts for rendering, and making annotation content available to users.
• New primitives
  In the new version of the report generator you will find multiple new primitives. All primitives are available for the Shape component. In addition the HorizontalLine and VerticalLine components have been updated. Also, new StartCap and EndCap properties have been added. They provide an opportunity to change the style of the start and and lines in the report.
• Report parameters
  Variables now have a new Request from User property. If you enable this property, then, when you show a report in the viewer, the report generator will automatically display a special form that is used to output the value of this variable. This improvement greatly simplifies the development of reports in our report generator. This property is supported by WinViewer and WebViewer.
• ProcessignDuplicates improved
  Stimulsoft have extended the features of the ProcessingDuplicates property of the text component. Three new values have been added: BasedOnTagMerge, BasedOnTagHide, and BasedOnTagRemoveText. The new values are different from previous ones. They use values of the Tag property as the key for processing but not the Text property of the text component. This enhancement provides the ability to specify compound keys, which will be used for components processing.
• Table component and free placement
  In the previous versions of the reporting tool, the Table component was placed as a band. In other words it was always docked to the top of the report page. Stimulsoft have added a new DockableTable property. If you set this property to false, then you may place the Table component anywhere within your report.
• WYSIWYG property of the RichText component
  This has been added to improve the printed results on some operating systems.
• Turkish localization
  Stimulsoft Reports now supports 25 languages.
