New version of FastReport Mono 2022.2

 

 

Added support for interactivity of the "Advanced Matrix" object in WebReport:

All WebReports (.NET Framework, .NET Core, Blazor Server) now have interactivity support for the new Advanced Matrix. The collapse and sort buttons now work correctly in the browser.

 

Ability to save the report with random data

The file menu in the report designer has a new item "Save with random data...". When you save the report in this way, all data sources will be saved in the report and the data in them will be replaced with random values.

 

Backlight of intersecting objects in the designer

Now, when you place objects on the report page, the color will highlight the intersecting objects and objects outside of bands and page. In a correct report, there should not be such objects. Ignoring to comply with this recommendation, can lead to a number of problems in the preparation and exporting of reports. By default, this option is disabled.

 

You can enable it in the designer settings (menu View->Options).

 

 

Backlight demo below.
