Validate expression/data bindings specified for report controls and indicate errors.

Features

• Reporting - All Platforms
  • Document Generation Performance Improvements - Improved performance and memory handling when creating very large reports. The new component 'CachedReportSource' stores document pages in the file system or in a database during document generation. This decreases memory consumption when creating very large documents.
  • .NET Core Support (CTP) - Because of the decision to support .NET Standard 2.0, you can create ASP.NET Core applications that target both .NET Framework and .NET Core (with a few documented restrictions). Use the new Project Template Item to create an ASP.NET Core Reporting application with both a Document Viewer and Web Report Designer.
  • Cross-Tab Report Enhancements - If a pivot grid spans more than one page horizontally, you can set a new option and print row headings on every page.
  • Designer Enhancements - New Report Designer enhancements include:
    • Resizing table columns and rows proportionally: When you include tables in your reports, you can now use new context menu commands to set the same size for multiple rows and columns (much like similar table formatting commands in Microsoft Word).
    • Adjusting label size and label content: Two new context menu commands are available to automatically adjust label size and their content.
    • Ability to fit an image, rich text or any other control into a parent container (e.g., a table cell) and position the control correctly within the container.
    •  Line Widths are now provided in pixels. The type used for XRLine.LineWidth property has changed (from Int32 to Single). Line width is now considered a pixel value (not a value in report units).
    • Smart copy/paste operations: When you copy report controls to the clipboard and then paste them to a new container or band, the original positions of the controls are preserved.
  • XRTable - Improved Hidden Column Processing - The XRTable control can now recalculate its width whenever a column is hidden instead of leaving an empty space in the final output. You can choose between various redistribution modes to generate the desired table layout.
• Web Reporting
  • ASP.NET MVC - New Query Builder - The new ASP.NET MVC Query Builder allows an end-user to visually construct queries using the UI controls. This saves the end-user from learning and writing SQL statements. Once the queries are built, you can apply those queries to existing DevExpress controls like the ASP.NET MVC GridView. This places the power of ad-hoc querying at your user's fingertips.
  • HTML5 Reporting Controls - Web Farm and Web Garden Support - The DevExpress HTML5 Document Viewer and End-User Report Designer can now work in Web Farm and Web Garden environments.
  • HTML5 Document Viewer - Display Remote Documents - The DevExpress HTML5 Document Viewer can now display documents created with our Report Server (Report Server is an enterprise reporting platform and must be purchased/licensed separately).
  • Miscellaneous Enhancements
    • The Web Report Designer can now validate expression/data bindings specified for report controls, and indicate errors.
    • Syntax highlighting for SELECT statements.
    • The Expression Editor supports now function descriptions (hints).
    • Ability to rename the data source component.
    • The XRTable control can span cells across multiple rows.
    • HTML5 Document Viewer: Clicking a TOC item automatically selects the corresponding item in the Document Map.
• WinForms Reporting
  • End-User Report Designer UX Enhancements - Contextual Tabs inspired by Microsoft Office: Contextual Tabs often display context specific commands, and as such, they don't need to be on constant display (they are displayed only when a specific object is selected or when an end-user performs a specific action).
  • Page Setup Dialog - Custom Paper Size - With this release, the Page Setup Dialog (Print Preview, Report Designer) allows you to specify custom paper size.
  • Enhanced Filter Editor - Improved the usability of the Filter Editor (when building filter criteria in Text Mode). New enhancements include:
    • Intelligent Code Completion
    • Column and Function Tooltips
    • Input Validation and Error Indication
  • Duplex Printing - You no longer need to write any code for duplex printing. The following built-in modes are now available:
    • Flip on Long Edge
    • Flip on Short Edge
• WPF Reporting
  • End-User Report Designer UX Enhancements - Contextual Tabs inspired by Microsoft Office: Contextual Tabs often display context specific commands, and as such, they don't need to be on constant display (they are displayed only when a specific object is selected or when an end-user performs a specific action).
  • Page Setup Dialog - Custom Paper Size - With this release, the Page Setup Dialog (Print Preview, Report Designer) allows you to specify custom paper size.
  • Office-Inspired Property Grid - To improve usability, the WPF Report Designer ships with an Office-inspired Report Properties Panel.
  • WPF Backstage Print Preview Control - Implemented a new Print Preview control that replicates the Print screen available in Microsoft Office. This new control can be incorporated into a BackstageView based Ribbon Menu with ease.
  • Duplex Printing - You no longer need to write any code for duplex printing. The following built-in modes are now available:
    • Flip on Long Edge
    • Flip on Short Edge
  • Document Scaling - This release introduces document scaling for the WPF Data Grid, TreeList, Pivot Grid and Chart controls. Scaling allows you scale down an oversized control to fit the paper's width, or scale up the control to print it across multiple sheets of paper.

Spreadsheet Document API improves chart printing and data export.

Features

• PDF Document API
  • DirectX Rendering (Beta) - With this release, both the PDF Viewer for WinForms and PDF Document API support DirectX rendering:
    • Performance boost for common usage scenarios.
    • High-quality text rendering (GDI uses integer coordinates for glyph positioning) and improved text antialiasing (especially for Type 1 fonts).
    • Support for all blend modes.
    • Support for all text rendering modes (e.g. using the text as a clip region for a drawing).
• Spreadsheet Document API
  • Spreadsheet Shapes - With this release, you can load, print and export to PDF worksheets that contain shapes.
  • Improved Chart Printing and Data Export - The Spreadsheet Document API can now print and export (to PDF) worksheets with charts that contain series points with custom colors applied.
  • Miscellaneous Enhancements
    • Automatic Document Format Identification: With this release, if a document is loaded from a file without specifying its format, we automatically identify the document format based on its content (regardless of filename extension).
    • The Spreadsheet Document API now includes its own Print method and no longer require the DevExpress.XtraPrinting library to print documents. You can print an entire Workbook or individual Sheet using default or custom printer settings.
• Word Processing Document API
  • Microsoft Word Inspired Formatting and Layout - Enhanced both layout and formatting accuracy when printing and exporting documents to PDF.
  • Checkbox Form Fields - With this release, the Word (RTF) Document API library supports checkbox form fields. You can create checkbox form fields, change their state and size, print and export to PDF and HTML.
  • Miscellaneous Enhancements

    • The Word Document API now includes its own Print method and no longer requires the use of the DevExpress.XtraPrinting library to print documents. You can print documents using default or custom printer settings.
