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 to create curves from code: use a PolyLineObject object or load a polygon from an SVG. As you know, any report object is available in the report script, so we can use PolyLineObject to set points and connect them to create a shape. Run the code before displaying the object, which means you need to create a BeforePrint event handler for the Polygon object. Let's look at a real example. Add a Polygon object to the report page. In order not to create key points of the shape, just press Esc. In the object property inspector select Events. Create a BeforePrint event handler:   ...

Despite the fact that so-called arsenal of built-in functions in the report designer is by no means small, sometimes still lacks some specific. Thanks to the script in the report we can easily implement the desired function. But what if this function is needed in many records? Each time to add it to the report script? Of course, not. You can collect all your favorite functions in a library connected to the report designer. It is desirable to have the library located in the same folder as the report. Let us create a Class Library project in which we will have a test function. For example, the function of converting an array to a string. Turned out to be such a class. ...

One of the most popular frameworks for creating single-page applications is Angular. It is based on MVC template, which simplifies the development and testing of such application. Many users of the report generator FastReport need to display their reports in Angular web applications, which we discussed in the article using FR Core Web Report in Single Page Application Angular 7. Now, on the webpage we can display not only the report but also the data cube from FastCube .NET. Let us see how to do it. Initially, you should have installed: platform Node.js and NET Core SDK 2.0, or better newer. You may create an application using a template from sdk. To do that, type a command in a command line: ...

In FastReport 2018.2.3, new settings for the report designer appeared - objects appearance. Settings can be opened in the File menu - Settings. The new section contains only two settings for now: • Show indicator on bands with events; • Show indicator on objects with events. Both settings allow you to enable the indication of the presence of events in the object. Thus, you can quickly find in the report objects for which there is code in the report script. The indicator is a small red triangle in the upper left corner of the object:   For example, select the CheckBox object and look in the Property inspector for the events for it: ...
