How to install FastReport .NET and its components on Windows

To install the FastReport.NET software and its components, you need to download the installer distribution in the cpanel and run it. When using an operating system with UAC (User Account Control), you need to agree to run the software. After launching the installer, a welcome window with an authorization button will appear. Click on the authorization button. In the system, the default web browser application will open. Use the login and password of your account to authenticate and access the purchased products. After authorization, a message about successful authorization will be displayed. You can close the web browser application and switch to the FastReport .NET installer. If you were unable to log in, please contact technical support. In the next step, familiarize yourself with the license agreement for the use of FastReport .NET software. The current version of the license agreement is available at this link. If you agree to the terms of the license agreement, you need to check the "I accept the terms of the license agreement" checkbox. Then, press the active "Next" button. If you do not agree with the terms of the license agreement, close the FastReport .NET installer and delete the downloaded files. In the next installation stage, we invite you to join the FastReports Inc. service quality and notification improvement program. This will help our company improve the quality of products, overall reliability, and the performance of all tools and libraries. This step is optional, you don't have to join our program. Select "Yes" or "No" depending on your decision, and then continue the software installation. When you join the Service Quality and Notification Improvement Program, your computer or device automatically transmits information about the use of FastReports Inc. products and software development technologies to FastReports Inc. For more information on the privacy policy, please refer to this link. Select the product you need in the installer window. The messages "Unavailable", "An old version of the product has been detected" mean that an old version of the product is installed by an old installer. If you want to update the old version, close the installer, uninstall the old version using the standard "Add/Remove Programs" tool, and then start the installation of the new version again. If you see this message after removing all old versions, please contact our technical support. Also, at this stage, you can select: Product version; Sources—Installation of source codes; Examples—Report templates; Framework—Installation of local .dll files. Then, you can select the path where the FastReport .NET software will be installed. Now everything is ready for the installation, click "Next" to start the installation process. This may take some time, depending on the selected components and the speed of your internet connection. At this stage, you can monitor the progress of the installation. The completion dialog will be shown after the installation of all selected components. To close the installer, click the "Finish" button.   Offline installation In rare cases, the ability to perform an offline installation is necessary to install the "FastReport.NET" software on computers without direct access to the Internet. Our installer allows you to do such an installation with remote activation. First, you will need data packages, so it is recommended to do a preliminary installation on a computer with Internet access. After the installation, go to the installation directory and copy all .dat files and the setup.exe file to a temporary medium. Connect the temporary medium to the computer without Internet access and start the installation. If you are unable to authenticate through the Internet, the following dialog will be available to you. Check the "Use manual registration" checkbox. After that, copy the key from the "Registration information" field and send it to the technical support service with a request for activation. Insert the response from the technical support service into the "Registration code" field and click "Next". The subsequent installation process will be similar to the standard installation of the "FastReport.NET Components" software. Now that the installation of FastReport .NET and its components in Windows is complete, you are ready to start using this powerful tool to create high-quality reports in .NET applications. Remember that FastReport .NET provides extensive reporting customization and generation capabilities, making it indispensable for developers. Use all of its features, experiment, and create reports that reflect your needs and requirements. Wishing you success in your work with FastReport .NET!

Updating HTMLObject as a plugin for FastReport .NET

Our company regularly receives requests for changes in products. This time, we have improved the display of content in a report, which is stored in HTML markup format due to certain circumstances. FastReport has a built-in object for visualizing content in HTML markup format—HTMLObject. It is still being improved, but it already solves many user problems. The previous implementation of HTMLObject could not be divided into FastReport report objects and was displayed only in HTML export. Therefore, we released a separate plugin that uses the division of the HTML DOM into FastReport report objects. Each HTML markup object is translated into FastReport objects with a specified style, with the calculation of the required sizes, and with the possible page break. To use the plugin, you need to add the FastReport.Plugins.HtmlObject package to your project. Then register it using the following line of code: FastReport.Plugins.Html.HtmlObjectAssemblyInitializer.Init() After that, the necessary libraries will be automatically added to the project, based on the product used (FastReport .NET, FastReport.Core, FastReport.WPF, FastReport.Core.Skia). It's important to note that only a subset of HTML 4 tags and styles are supported. Scripts are not supported. Supported tags: <a> <center> <dt> <kbd> <q> <style> <title> <address> <cite> <em> <li> <rb> <sub> <tr> <area> <code> <footer> <main> <ruby> <sup> <u> <article> <col> <h> <menu> <s> <table> <ul> <b> <colgroup> <head> <menuitem> <samp> <tbody> <var> <bdi> <data> <header> <meta> <section> <td> <wbr> <bdo> <dd> <hgroup> <nav> <section> <template>   <big> <del> <hr> <nobr> <small> <tfoot>   <body> <dir> <html> <ol> <span> <th>   <br> <div> <i> <p> <strike> <thead>   <caption> <dl> <ins> <pre> <strong> <time>     After initializing the plugin, it will replace the built-in HTMLObject with the new one. All previously built reports will automatically use the new implementation.     The result can be saved in multiple export formats supported by FastReport (PDF, DOCX, etc.). The FastReport reporting engine is continuously evolving, and we are grateful to every user for their feedback and suggestions for improving our products.
