Perpetuum Technical Blog

I would like to remind you that about a month ago Perpetuum Software released beta version of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services 2008 – first component on the market to display Reporting Services 2008 reports in Silverlight applications. All our clients who had a chance to evaluate it were welcome to leave their comments and suggestions on our forum or submit them by email. Let’s set our eyes on the review of your opinions.

To say honestly, the results of product testing even exceeded our expectations. The majority of developers who wrote us are not only satisfied with the quality of the product but also share their great impressions on the product. Among them are many of those who waited for the release of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services 2008 since the release of analogous product intended for Reporting Services 2005. We can’t deny the fact that thanks to the client’s bug reports and suggestions on product improvement we really found some minor errors and insignificant bugs. Our developers will fix them in the final release of the product expected at the end of January.

Perpetuum Software LLC thanks those of you who left comments on beta as your opinion is of high importance to us. And those who have ideas on how to improve the product but didn’t get time to suggest them are still welcome!

You can download beta here and post your comments on our forum.
