New V2 WPF Designer

[LukasT]

Hello,
I would like to know where can I find control of the new V2 designer. In which DLL and namespace and what is the name of the control?

Thank you

Hello,

You can find the standalone designer V2 and all assemblies in the Bin45 folder in the installation pack.
Also you can use the StiCloudDesignerControl from the Stimulsoft.Client.Designer.dll

Thank you.

... I am a little bit annoyed. Nowhere is written, that the assembly is only for .NET FW 4.5 .... I lost my three hours pasting this object to project and seeking why I can't build my solution and the result is that I can't use this, because we use 4.0. Who is to know that "Bin45" folder name means .NET 4.5, moreover when the Readme file in folder contains some inexact information....

4. Requirements
.NET Framework 4.0 - .NET Framework 4.5.

I am sorry, but sometimes it would be a good to give to custommers a little bit more informations about details of news. http://blog.stimulsoft.com/news/stimuls ... 1-released ... where is any link to developers and users documentation?

Dear Lukas,

I am sorry for this situation.
This is really frustrating. It is our fault. We will definitely fix this to make it more clear.

Sorry again.
Thank you.

Hello Andrew,
thank you very much for understanding. I believe you will improve it
I appreciate that you have a desire to improve usability of the WPF Designer and I see, that in many cases it is done well. It is really important to think even on the design time of report.
Have a nice day

Hi,

I have a question about the StiCloudDesignerControl which contains the v2 designer. The control requires constructor parameters and afaik I can't use it from xaml. Is there any sample available that uses this v2 designer? I couldn't find it in the samples folder. I need to interact with the designer directly just like I could use the StiWpfDesignerControl directly.

Thanks!

Hello.

Unfortunately. there is no way to use this designer. It was written especially for reports server.
It use async methods everywhere where it's possible some stuff is loaded when it is requested only.
So it's impossible to use it directly.

Thank you.
