Title of the article partly reveals subject. I would like to consider configuration a viewer PDF files when exporting FastReport .NET report. This can be Acrobat Reader or browser's built-in viewer (Edge, Chrome) or any other viewer. You'll find that some of the options are very useful. Here is the tab "View" window in PDF export settings:   Consider all the options in order: Show print dialog - when you start pdf file will immediately show the print dialog; Hide toolbar - disables the toolbar menu at the viewer; With the menu: ...

Among the updates in FastReport 2018.4, there was a solution to the dividing by zero error. Previously, report developers had to handle this exception themselves. After all, we cannot guarantee that because of the data this error will not occur. If you have not done the division by zero processing, you will get an exception that will interrupt the construction of the report. As a result, you still have to refine the report, and this is an additional time cost. Now, you do not need to think about this problem, in the expression where the division error by zero occurred, the message “Division by zero” will be displayed. In this case, the report is constructed. Let's compare what was and what has become when divided by zero. Add a text field to the report and enter the following expression: [2018/0]. These are two integers. That's what how it was in previous versions of FastReport .NET. When trying to run a report in the designer: ...

Nowadays “QR-codes” are gaining their popularity. Unlike conventional barcodes, “QR-codes” allow you to encode more information in different formats. They are widely spread in trade, logistics and production. To recognize such codes one does not need a special laser reader. A smartphone camera will be enough. Easy recognition is the secret of popularity of “QR-codes”. As a modern reporting tool, FastReport.Net provides an opportunity to use “QR-codes”.  Let us view the possibility in detail. Run the report designer. You will find a QR-code component in a pop-up menu of the control Barcode .   ...

Fast Report 6 pleased us with an updated export engine. This affected the export of compound objects, such as charts, maps, RichText. Earlier these objects were exported as a picture, but now a vector representation of objects and text is used. This means the scaling of objects does not affect the quality. It is better to consider this with examples. Since there was no Map object in the 5th version of FR VCL, let's look at the example of a Chart object. I will present screenshots of the export of the one and the same report in the 5th and 6th versions. Diagrams’ representation in the 5th and 6th versions differs in color filling. In the previous version, the diagram was painted with a lurid vivid colors. I agree, it contrasts, but looks "childish". In the 6th version, quiet colors are used for filling, and it looks "more mature". Let's look at exporting to a PDF report format with a chart in version 5. To show the disadvantages of using a picture to dis ...

Nowadays, users quite often face a task to form periodic reports, send them by e-mail or save in a specific location. Implementing  such tasks is not difficult with our report generator. However, it is necessary to create an application that will work with the report generator. It requires some programming skills and experience in programming field. But what if you do not have such experience, or you do not want to buy expensive licensed development environment (e.g. MS Visual Studio)? FastReport Desktop allows you to solve these issues. This is an independent program complex, that does not require creation of custom applications. Consequently, it does not require programming skills either. Desktop allows to: create reports, configure them on a schedule, export a report to different formats, send an email report, save reports on a local drive or on remote resources. Let us take a close look at this software package. It is ...

Conflicts often occur If you use different versions of the same program. There might be different reasons for this.  Often after you remove the previous version - the old libraries still remain. Or a new version of the product can be installed "on top" of the previous one without prior proper removal. For example,  a strong indication of a conflict is a watermark of the demo version in the licensed version. Sometimes all you have to do is to correct references to the new libraries. But the used libraries can be from the GAC. One of the ways to resolve this issue is to completely remove FastReport .Net and reinstall it. Let's consider the process of the complete removal FastReport.Net: Close Visual Studio; Use FastReport.Net uninstall program from the control panel; Make sure that the folder "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ FastReports \ FastReport.Net Trial" removed, or delete it manually; In Windows Explorer, open th ...

In this article we will look at ways to connect to a PostgreSQL database from FastReport.Net report. FastReport provides a plug-in report designer that allows you to connect to Postgres. At the core of this plugin is Npsql.dll library. But first things first. First, we consider the connection to the database by FastReport plugin. And then, with the usual ODBC connector. The first method. Open the solution Program Files (x86) \ FastReports \ FastReport.Net \ Extras \ Connections \ FastReport.Postgres \ FastReport.Postgres.sln. From it we will build FastReport.Postgres.dll library that will be used as a plug-in report designer. To build the project is required npgsql.dll library. Npgsql installer can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/releases. After installation of the connector, the library can be found in the GAC. build the solution FastReport.Postgres and obtain the required library. Op ...
