What is the difference between SharpShooter Reports.Web and Report Sharp-Shooter Web Edition?

Marketing Dept

Despite similar model and names of two products, the previous ASP.NET Viewer (Report Sharp-Shooter Web Forms Edition) and a new Web Viewer (SharpShooter Reports.Web) have dramatic differences. Here, we would like to clarify the main differences.

Architecture

The main architectural difference between the components is as follows: Web Viewer in Report Sharp-Shooter Web Forms Edition is ASP.NET component and a new Web Viewer in SharpShooter Reports.Web can be called a JavaScript component.

In Report Sharp-Shooter Web Forms Edition a report page along with the web-page are fully rendered on the server-side and is passed to a user browser as a ready document. This means that the component is difficult to extend and its use in unusual conditions can be complicated.

Or you can invoke the report designer directly from code manually. The designer includes 4 tabs: Home, Insert, Layout, and View.

Advanced Usability Features in Report Sharp-Shooter 5.0!

Marketing Dept

Perpetuum Software specialists would like to share the latest news with the users.
We continuing the development of our reporting tool usability and already implemented some important features for release of Report Sharp-Shooter 5.0.0.0.

Reporting engine for .Net

A new version will feature improved drag&drop functionality in the report designer. This most loved by developers ability provides the fast and easy-to-learn technique of performing the tasks. We added such features as:

  • Drag&drop in the report designer connected with the Parent change. Previously, if you drag&drop the object, only element coordinate was changed. Now, if you locate the element in the other container (band), the parent will be changed automatically similar to the change of container in the tree.
  • Ability to copy the element during drag&drop. You are able not just to drag the element from one position to another, but copy this element by pressing CTRL.
  • Drag&drop from the data source. Now the element is inserted immediately.

Report Sharp-Shooter is remarkable for its flexibility which directly depends on such component as scripts editor. We redesigned the scripts editor in the version 5.0 of our report engine. Code autocompletion speeds up scripts writing and, as a result, saves your time on project development. Now, scripts editor has almost all the features that can be found in the Visual Studio.NET code Editor, including customizable syntax highlighting for C#, VB.NET and SQL, code outlining, code completion, unlimited undo/redo, bookmarks, word wrap, drag-n-drop, built-in search/replace dialogs, multiple view of the same text, displaying gutter, margin, line numbers and many more.
Minor shortcomings and bugs were fixed, thus, you will be able to focus on your project, not on looking for workarounds.

The upcoming release will include additional features which will provide the most comfortable, easy and fast work of reports creation and data processing. The next blog posts will unveil new functionality of ribbon report designer interface, improvements in preview options and features of Report Sharp-Shooter which, we hope, will help our users to realize their projects with minimum efforts and maximum effect.

We welcome all your suggestions on our forum and via e-mail.
