Validate expression/data bindings specified for report controls and indicate errors.

Features

• Reporting - All Platforms
  • Document Generation Performance Improvements - Improved performance and memory handling when creating very large reports. The new component 'CachedReportSource' stores document pages in the file system or in a database during document generation. This decreases memory consumption when creating very large documents.
  • .NET Core Support (CTP) - Because of the decision to support .NET Standard 2.0, you can create ASP.NET Core applications that target both .NET Framework and .NET Core (with a few documented restrictions). Use the new Project Template Item to create an ASP.NET Core Reporting application with both a Document Viewer and Web Report Designer.
  • Cross-Tab Report Enhancements - If a pivot grid spans more than one page horizontally, you can set a new option and print row headings on every page.
  • Designer Enhancements - New Report Designer enhancements include:
    • Resizing table columns and rows proportionally: When you include tables in your reports, you can now use new context menu commands to set the same size for multiple rows and columns (much like similar table formatting commands in Microsoft Word).
    • Adjusting label size and label content: Two new context menu commands are available to automatically adjust label size and their content.
    • Ability to fit an image, rich text or any other control into a parent container (e.g., a table cell) and position the control correctly within the container.
    •  Line Widths are now provided in pixels. The type used for XRLine.LineWidth property has changed (from Int32 to Single). Line width is now considered a pixel value (not a value in report units).
    • Smart copy/paste operations: When you copy report controls to the clipboard and then paste them to a new container or band, the original positions of the controls are preserved.
  • XRTable - Improved Hidden Column Processing - The XRTable control can now recalculate its width whenever a column is hidden instead of leaving an empty space in the final output. You can choose between various redistribution modes to generate the desired table layout.
• Web Reporting
  • ASP.NET MVC - New Query Builder - The new ASP.NET MVC Query Builder allows an end-user to visually construct queries using the UI controls. This saves the end-user from learning and writing SQL statements. Once the queries are built, you can apply those queries to existing DevExpress controls like the ASP.NET MVC GridView. This places the power of ad-hoc querying at your user's fingertips.
  • HTML5 Reporting Controls - Web Farm and Web Garden Support - The DevExpress HTML5 Document Viewer and End-User Report Designer can now work in Web Farm and Web Garden environments.
  • HTML5 Document Viewer - Display Remote Documents - The DevExpress HTML5 Document Viewer can now display documents created with our Report Server (Report Server is an enterprise reporting platform and must be purchased/licensed separately).
