.NET 7 Preview 3 support for desktop viewers and REST service

NEW

• Added support and dedicated example solution for .NET 7 Preview 3 in the WinForms and WPF report viewers as well as the REST service which can be used as a remote report generation engine.

NEW

• Web Report Designer now uses the latest generation of Kendo UI themes and widgets - Kendo UI R1 2022 SP1 (version 2022.1.301)

Web Report Designer now provides a comprehensive search function

NEW

• Web Report Designer introduces a great UX improvement - the ability to search throughout all the designer areas: components, existing report items, or available properties. Now you can add a new component, navigate to the required report item or change a property value with just a few keystrokes.

What's Improved

NEW

• Reordering reports in report books from the design surface has better visualization of the place of the dropped item
• The Reports node in Assets Manager now supports folder hierarchy
• IDefinitionStorage methods are now asynchronous
• Editors that invoke Assets Manager have better design and improved UX
• Table columns in Assets Manager grid view now support resizing
• XAML rendering extension now allows disabling the validation for invalid characters
• Tags are added for filtering of .NET Framework REST Service and Library project templates in Visual Studio

What's Changed

CHANGED

• Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IDefinitionStorage interface is extended with new members to support more scenarios for working asynchronously with report definitions. All custom implementations of this interface need to include the new members.
• Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IResourceStorage interface now extends a new interface: Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Services.IAssetsStorage. All explicit implementations of IResourceStorage interface must reference the new interface.
