Perpetuum Technical Blog

Not only the products are the main pride of Perpetuum Software but also the guys who work hardly to develop them. People who exert themselves for benefit of the company deserve respect and be talked about. Only their words can put everything on the right places and show how the case stands. Here are some of their quotes.

Michael Riman, Team-leader of Perpetuum Software: “Everybody knows that passions around forthcoming release have been rising in the air for a few months and now the work is done. All that I can promise our clients is not to stand still and continue enhancing our brainchild to release the next version in April 2010.”

Eugene Akinshin, CTO of Perpetuum Software LLC: “Beta version testing by Perpetuum Software clients lasted 2 months and gave really great results. The majority of developers are satisfied with the quality of the product and delighted by its unique features. These results are really impressive and encourage us for further work for the benefit of our clients!”

Yakov Zhdanov, Project Manager: “We are much obliged to our clients who were with us on all the stages of development. We’ll thank them not by pleasant words but by new product features which are planed after the full release, such as Drilldown, bookmarks rendering, additional pagination modes, and new samples. The work on this functionality has already been started.”

In conclusion I’d like to quote Alexander Barakhaev, principal developer of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services 2008: “The final product release was a hard and even exhausting work. We went towards this aim for a long time and hope that our great efforts will be appreciated at their true value.”

These guys really toiled a lot to bring their brainchild up, didn’t they? It’s their work, and they do it perfectly.

The beginning of the year was marked for Perpetuum Software with hard work on a
new release of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services 2008.

Planning the release, first of all we take into consideration requests and suggestions of our clients. And now we are glad to announce that the release is almost ready to see the world.

We finished the work on errors handling. At first sight this functionality doesn’t seem to be essential. But when it comes to work with the component and getting errors this functionality becomes very important. It saves time on looking for the reason of the error and eliminates the clients and our technical support staff headache. The possibility to record errors to the log file on server will be available. To make this feature more user-friendly we will create an option that will allow switching on/off recording. On the clients side the error will be visualized. It will provide possibility to the developer to see and solve the problem himself or to send it to our technical support team.

Getting Started documentation and Getting Started example are reviewed. Examining the troubles of our customers we found out that there are some problems connected with the clients hosting. Modifying the example we tried to cover all these problems to make the use of our product independent from the hosting type.

But everything appeared to be not as perfect as we expected. Unfortunately, we failed to include the local report server support in this release due to some peculiarities of beta release of Visual Studio 2010. But we strongly hope that the final release of Visual Studio 2010 will make it possible to implement this feature into our product.

The final release of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services is expected at the end of February, 2010.

Be that as it may, we are not going to stop there and planning to release the next version in April 2010. You can see roadmap on this version on our Perpetuum Software website.

And we are still waiting for your suggestions and feature requests on Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services at sales@perpetuumsoft.com.

Our aim is your comfortable and successful work!
