What Is New in Telerik Reporting Q1 2008
New Report Designer
Telerik Reporting is the first reporting tool in the industry to introduce an innovative WYSIWYG design surface in Visual Studio .NET. The surface simulates graph paper and represents the actual layout of the report elements as they would appear on a printed sheet of paper. There are no bulky section dividers or other elements that clog the designer. To make the process of accurate positioning, aligning, and sizing of report elements Telerik Reporting implements some techniques used in drawing software.
Some of the new design features include Zoom, Snap Lines, Pan, MiniMap, Extensive Keyboard Support including Nudge, Text Rotation Handles, Container Auto Adjustment, Dimension Lines, Overlapping Warnings, Multicolumn Mode, VS Formatting Toolbar Support and many more.
Performance Optimizations
The report rendering performance has been optimized with up to 30% in Q1 2008.
Export to RTF
The ability to export reports in Rich Text Format enable end-users to view/edit reports in most word processors, such as Microsoft Word and Open Office.
Report Parameters UI
Both Win and Web Viewers expose dedicated UI to allow end-users to pass parameters to a report. With a parameterized report, you can vary the output of a report based on values that are set when the report runs.
Label Report Wizard
The Label Report Wizard enables the creation of label reports. Developers can select from a number of standard label formats or create custom ones if needed; the generated report will be customized according to the selected label specification.
Viewer Localization
The Win and Web Viewer resources are now available for localization through the simple use of text files (.resx). This enables Telerik Reporting to be embedded in multilingual applications in just a few seconds.
Vertical Text
Now you can have your text positioned vertically or at any angle.
