Progress® Telerik® Reporting 2024 Q3 (18.2.24.806)

August 7, 2024

Declarative reports now support event handlers

NEW

• Declarative reports now support attaching compiled code event handlers for the ItemDataBinding, ItemDataBound, and NeedDataSource events. This enables the report authors with developer skills to apply custom logic while the report is being generated. The design time support of this feature is covered by the following tool improvements:
  - The Standalone Report Designer Properties Grid panel now allows the attachment of an event handler for the respective event by method name.
  - The Standalone Report Designer Open report from .dll (Import) functionality now preserves the available event handler attachments by name.

Standalone Report Designer for .NET now allows switching to Skia graphics engine for preview, print, and export

NEW

• The Standalone Report Designer for .NET now can switch between GDI+ and Skia graphics engines when previewing, printing, and exporting reports. This functionality is useful for report authors that design their reports on Windows machines but the target platform for their application is Linux or macOS, where Skia library is used for processing and rendering.

Telerik Reporting and Standalone Report Designer for .NET are compatible with .NET 9 Preview 4

NEW

• The Reporting REST Service, Standalone Report Designer for .NET, WinForms and WPF report viewers can be used in projects that target Preview 4 of .NET 9 framework.
