To begin, let’s add a new user to the workspace. When a new user first opens FastReport Cloud, they will see the following screen:   ...

Report designer has a lot of useful features. This is a complete development environment with many options, a full study of which will require a lot of time.

Sometimes when we develop the WPF applications we need create tables with different configurations for output any data. Using the base tools of Visual Studio or Blend do not allow to reach the desired result or not always possible. Objects can be added programmatically to the form directly in the program code during execution. Plus this method is in using a minimum set of software.

In the text editor, it is much easier to find coordinates with a minus sign. Sometimes the report file can be damaged and the designer will not open it at all.

But you can try to open the file in a text editor and edit the report manually. Some users want to edit the report's XML directly in the designer. It cert ...
