In the first part of the article we reviewed the innovations of FastReport.Net 2019.4 in terms of vector graphics. Now polylines and polygons can be constructed by Bezier curves. In this article, we will consider the possibility of creating curves using a report script. Currently there are two ways...
Electronic document management has become an integral part of our lives already long time ago. Everyone appreciated the convenience of such documents - they do not deteriorate over time, they are more difficult to lose, easy to store and quickly transfer to any distance. And although, the times of r...
Back in FastReport.Net 2018, entry-level vector graphics appeared in the reports. These were polygons and curves. It was possible to build complex shapes, but all the curves were straight. In version 2019, Bezier curves finally appeared - and therefore, full-fledged vector graphics. Now we can creat...
Despite the fact that FastReport.Net provides us with a plugin for the report designer to use as a data source for the JSON file, it is not always suitable. This plugin works well with single-level data representing a separate table. In cases where the data has multiple levels of nesting, you will h...
The Knockout.js library is used to create web applications. Due to the support of this library in Microsoft Visual Studio, we can use TypeScript and backend based on ASP .Net Core MVC. The last means that we will be able to use FastReport.Net reports. It remains only to display the report in the cli...
Sometimes, we have to deal with data from different sources, in different formats. This can be a real headache for analysts and report developers. After all, you have to somehow combine the data.

We have already discussed how to send a report to a group of emails from the database. In this article we will do the same, but for a web application on the .Net Core MVC platform. Let me remind you that our task is to get a list of email addresses and user names from a certain database and, send em...
In addition to the libraries themselves, FastReport.Net also includes separate programs - Designer and Viewer. The first one, as you understand, is intended for creating and editing report templates. It has a report preview mode from which you can view the report, export it to the desired data form...
When you display a report on several pages, you will most likely want to display the table headers on each page. This will prevent the user of the report from constantly turning over to the first page in order to understand the purpose of the columns and reduce errors in the perception of informatio...
Reports are an integral part of the workflow, and electronic reports - electronic workflow. One of the main mechanisms for distributing electronic reports is e-mail. Perhaps, all modern report generators have a built-in mail client to be able to send a report directly from the program. FastReport.N...
It's no longer a novelty to see a pixel QR barcode on the product packaging. Although it is more complicated than a regular bar code with stripes and it is undoubtedly more reliable. The technology of QR codes contains redundancy (duplication of information) and a checksum. Therefore, even with 30 p...
Matrix reports are a great tool for analyzing data. In essence, the matrix in analytical reports is a summary table. "Conditional allocation” is often used to facilitate the analysis. This is a regular tool in FastReport.Net. Conditional highlighting implies highlighting the data cells with co...
Most of the time when developing a report, it takes away the placement of elements on the page. Very few people manage to pick up the sizes and proportions from the first time. You always have to do a couple of test runs of the report. The new function of controlling the height of the band is desig...
