Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hello,

After two years of using the .NET version of your report builder, we started with the web designer last week. The basic functionallity is available, but I think there is a lot of work to do compared to the winforms designer.

Some of the features that I am missing / feature requests:
- specify custom text format (the available ones do not always the job for us)
- Interaction.Hyperlink text editor should be an expression editor (don't know if this is the case in winforms, but should be in both designers)
- rich editor is not very rich, bold italic alignment etc are missing
- some static option params, like the default zoom in the preview mode and select themes
- the language file does not cover everything, still a lot of text is in english and is not available in the language xml file. (Besides that, the localization of 'print preview as pdf' and 'html' do not work)

Just a couple of things, it is a really good designer though but the winforms version is much better.


Just curious: Why have you chosen for flash and not for silverlight? With silverlight you are in a .NET environment, and WPF and Silverlight do not differ very much so you could reuse much of your code of the WPF version? Or am I totally wrong?

Regards

Hello,

specify custom text format (the available ones do not always the job for us)

It was an error. We fixed it. The update will be available in the next prerelease build on May, 31.

Interaction.Hyperlink text editor should be an expression editor (don't know if this is the case in winforms, but should be in both designers)

It will be available in the next official release of our product.

rich editor is not very rich, bold italic alignment etc are missing

This feature will not be available in the nearest future, because Flash does not support the RTF standard.

some static option params, like the default zoom in the preview mode and select themes

Themes and other additional options are in our plans. We are going to realize it to the end of this year.

the language file does not cover everything, still a lot of text is in english and is not available in the language xml file. (Besides that, the localization of 'print preview as pdf' and 'html' do not work)

It will be available in the next official release of our product.

Our report web designer began to be developed in 2007, then Silverlight technology was still very weak and Flash technology has been a much better solution. Also, we have this summer preparing the first release of Silverlight report viewer, as well as plan to make a designer.


Thank you.

ok thank you
