SP1 of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 Available; Brings Improved Performance in Silverlight and WPF

Yesterday we dropped a new minor version of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011. Among the plentiful fixes, you will find some important improvements, aided to improve the overall operation of the product, both in design time and run time.

Performance Improvements in Rendering Silverlight and WPF Reports

The XAML rendering extension now uses a new lightweight mechanism that overcomes issues related to highly concurrent multi-threading applications. The new XAML rendering removes the STA thread requirement when generating Silverlight and WPF reports, which leads to improved performance and optimized server resources. The new rendering aims at improving the rendering speed of large SL and WPF reports, and can handle rendering multiple reports at once.

Interactivity Improvements: Open Hyperlinks in New Window

Due to popular demand, we have added a Target option to the Navigate to URL action, allowing for links to be opened in a new window.

Conditional Formatting

The Conditional Formatting can now be applied to multiple items at once in the Visual Studio Report Designer. Simply select several items while holding the Shift/CTRL key, and select Conditional Formatting from the context menu (or the property grid) to apply the same rules to all selected items.
