The knockout.js library was quite popular among web developers before the appearance of angular. Despite the obvious advantages of angular, knockout is still in demand. Many web applications are written on it. Some of them need reporting. Therefore, we will discuss in this article how to integrate the FastReport online report designer into the application, with the client part on the knockout, and the server part on the ASP.Net Core. First of all, we need the Knockout application template for the dotnet platform. You must have the NET Core 2.0 SDK or MS Visual Studio 2017 installed. Open the Windows command prompt. Go to the directory where you plan to create the application. Enter the command: dotnet new — install Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaTemplates::* As a result, we should see a list of available one-page application templates: < ...

Thanks a lot all attendees of our webinar with Embarcadero Technologies. We hope than you are got new useful information and as usually publishing questions and answers from this event. Q: Can an Excel report include formulas?A: Not yet, but we're planning to implement such feature. Q: A program may have many responsibilities, many steps, report-generation being only one of them. After generating the report, the program should be able to continue on immediately with its remaining responsibilities, with no left-over impact on the program's available memory and CPU time. So, is it possible to detach a report from the program that generated it?A: You can create reports in threads. Q: Can you force FastReport 5 to respect XLS/XLSX worksheet cell boundaries (e.g., EVERY cell in column B has exactly the same width), so that each (non-empty) worksheet cell contains exactly one value of the appropriate type (number, text, date, etc.), and each worksheet column i ...

Earlier we reviewed BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and GIF in the article about various graphic image formats. It remains to discuss the last most common format - PNG. Currently, Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is one of the best-known and most commonly used file formats. Why did it happen that this format is popular in the world? It’s simple. A wide range of colors, gamma correction, saving with or without a background. There are really many convenient options because PNG can save information without losing image quality. It is most often used for viewing, compressing pictures, and editing/creating graphics. Yo ...

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 information. The lack of headers on every page is very annoying. This concerns not only reports with tables, but also matrix ones. FastReport .Net of course allows you to display headings on each table. The RepeatHeaders option is responsible for this. It must be set to true, although by default it already has this value. For the Matrix object this will be enough. The headings of the matrix will be displayed on each page displaying this matrix. However, there is a nuance with the Table object. It is not enough just to set the RepeatHeaders option to true. You need to set the number of displayed rows for the header in the FixedRows property. This is needed if the table has a ...

Recently many countries digitize payments. In other words, they convert existing payments to digital format. The most common way to automate payments is to use QR codes that are easily read by smartphones. The ability to encode a sufficiently large amount of information, high damage resistance, no need in special equipment to read – these are the main advantages of the QR code that made it popular all over the world. Swiss authorities also decided to use QR codes to secure electronic payments. This means that all payment receipts and bills will have these codes. In this regard, Swiss QR code support appeared in the FastReport.Net report generator and although Swiss QR is just a kind of QR code, it is used in a specific form of Swiss bill. It is quite simple and contains information about: payee, payer, invoice, payment link and amount. Let’s create a report template for a Swiss QR bill. ...
