Async support

[Joost]

Is it possible we can get support for Async functions in the reporting tools? A good way to start would be the StiReport class, with methods like RenderAsync, CompileAsync, PrintAsync, ExportDocumentAsync?
The report already uses a Backgroundworker to render, so it is async in it's current implementation. Unfortunately wrapped in a synchronous method...

Best Regards,
Joost

Thank you.

I understand it is possible to wrap the render functions in a thread, but this seems a bit overkill as the current implementation of the StiReport internally already uses a background worker. Therefore my request for async support within stimulsoft (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/async).

Hello,

Unfortunately, at the current moment, we do not have plans to implement it.

Thank you.
