Optimizing Performance When Using Stimulsoft Reports.WPF in a Desktop Application
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2025 7:47 am
Hello everyone,
I'm developing a desktop application using Stimulsoft Reports.WPF to create and view reports. Recently, I've encountered slight lag in the interface when loading reports with many components or when exporting large PDF files.
Some solutions I've tried:
Enabling compilation mode to make reports run faster during rendering.
Separating large data into a separate DataSet and only loading it when needed.
Reducing the number of high-resolution images in the template.
Using async to avoid locking the UI thread when calling the report engine.
The improvement is quite good, but it's still slow with complex reports. Retro Bowl 26
Does anyone have experience optimizing Reports.WPF or any engine settings that can improve speed? I'd really appreciate any sharing!
