Until now the USA have been used two standards for barcode symbolizm for mail: POSTNET and PLANET. These standards make it possible to encode zip codes and services, mainly to sort and track mail. POSTNET is able to encode a five-digit zip code, a 4-digit plus-code and a 2-digit delivery point code. The POSTNET (Postal Numeric Encoding Technique) and PLANET (Postal Alphanumeric Encoding Technique) bar codes are used by the US Postal Service. The POSTNET bar codes have a variable length of 32 to 62 bars, and PLANET has 62 or 72 bars. They are modulated in height (vertical columns have different lengths) and 2-states (there are two different types of bars, short and high). Each digit of the encoded data is represented by a group of five bars. POSTNET barcodes have exactly two full bars in each group of five, and the bar code PLANET has three bars. As it is mentioned above, there has been created a new Intelligent ...

When making the report, we want it to be "friendly" to the consumers as much as possible. Too much data and design elements processing makes people's understanding of information more unfavourable. As a result, many people want to delete spaces in a table without data. FastReport.Net report generator allows you to perform this function. As you understand, it is necessary not only to hide the column, but also a title for it. If hiding a column is a matter of a couple of clicks with a mouse, then hiding the title task is not trivial. Suppose we have a table from which we want to display the data in a report. However, some data may be missing or set to zero. In this case, we can use the “Conditional Selection” tool to hide zero-data cells. Select the desired cell and click on the icon on the toolbar:   When you add conditions, by default there will be a ...

The Vista database will fall into the type of embedded databases. These databases differ from client server databases in that they are designed to be embedded in a client application as a file. The range of tasks of such a base will also be different from the database. Typically, these are databases that are only used in one application and are not intended for sharing. In this way, VistaDB stands in line with the SQLite and the SQL Ce. Let's look at the way to connect to such a database inside a report. To do this, we will need to connect the report designer to a plug-in connector located in the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReports\FastReport.Net\Extras\Connections\FastReport.VistaDB The result of assembling of the project will be FastReport.VistaDB.dll library. Let’s open report designer, menu File->Options:   On the Plugins tab, ad ...
