Adds new report controls, improved zooming and new functions for fiscal reports.

Features

• BandedList Control - The BandedList control is a collection of free-form bands. A free-form band can contain other report controls, so designers can customize layouts for rows of data in a list. The control also includes a Header and Footer row that are great for identifying data in a column or displaying summary field values.
• InputField Control - The InputField control is a field for report data that can be modified. It allows report designers to create reports that are editable as PDF documents. Upon the export of a report, a user can change the values of the data in a TextBox and save the new data in the document. Currently, the 'Type' of input supported in export is 'Text.'
• Improved Zooming - A new shortcut is available to help when designing reports with strict layouts. Use the "Ctrl" button + Mouse scroll to quickly zoom in and out of the report without losing moving the mouse position. It is much easier to design reports with accuracy. You can also leverage this feature when viewing reports in the viewer.
• SVG images
  • Design and Preview - Along with PNG and JPG images, you can now select SVG images to load into your reports. SVG images provide better scaling so you can adjust the dimensions of SVG images without degrading the quality of the image or your reports.
  • Export to PDF Microsoft Excel - You can also export SVG images in your reports to PDF and Excel documents.
• New Functions for Fiscal Reports
  • Quarter() - Quarter function takes a date and returns a value 1-4. This value indicates the fiscal quarter for a given date.
  • QuarterName() - The QuarterName function takes data and returns a string value Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4. The value indicates the Fiscal Quarter with a "Q" prefix.
• Change Panel Position - By default, the Viewer's panel is fixed along the left side of the Viewer. This release adds the ability to move the panel to the right side of the viewer component.
• Added New Samples
  • Balance Sheet
  • Payment Form

Adds report localization to the report designer.

Features

All Platforms

• Report Designer - Report Localization - With this release, you can localize a report so that it incorporates design and text variations for different languages and cultures. Localized values are stored in REPX files. The Localization Editor was designed to expedite the report translation process.
• Report Designer - Merge Reports with PDF Documents - Added a new XRPdfContent report control to the Report Designer. This control allows you to embed pages from an external PDF file into a report document. PDF content is rendered on separate pages and uses its own page size.
• Expression Bindings - Use Dots in Data Field Names - Enhanced the criteria language parser. You can now use dots in query and field names.
• Excel Export - Html-inspired and RTF Content Support - XRLabel (with the AllowMarkupText property enabled) and XRRichText controls (bound to RTF and/or HTML data) now preserve content formatting when exporting a report to Excel.
• PDF Export - Export Image Editable Fields to PDF Form Fields
• JSON Data Source Parameters - Wizard and Expression Support - Updated the JSON Data Source Wizard. You can now add path, query and header parameters to JSON web service endpoints. Also added support for expressions in JSON parameter values so you can pass report parameter values to resulting requests.
• JSON Data Source - Schema Discovery Enhancements - Enhanced the JSON Data Source schema discovery. The JsonDataSource class has a SchemaDiscoveryMaxItemCount property that specifies how many records to analyze in order to build the data source schema (on each level, so you don't need to worry about nested records). The default value is 100. You can modify this value to find the best balance between performance and the schema accuracy.
• Parameters - Select All Values for Multi-Value Parameters - Use the Parameter.SelectAllValues property to pre-select all values for a multi-value lookup parameter.

ASP.NET Core Reporting

• Document Rendering Enhancements for Linux and MacOS - Use the DevExpress.CrossPlatform.Printing.DrawingEngine NuGet package to enhance document rendering quality on Linux or macOS. This development cycle focused on parity in terms of document rendering quality and PDF export regardless of target platform (be it .NET Core or .NET Framework) or operating system used to host Reporting apps. This release uses Cairo and Pango to implement this drawing engine.

Azure Web Apps

• Export to PDF Enhancements - Enhanced the PDF export engine for those using Azure Web App hosting. New features include:
  • Font Embedding (including CJK fonts).
  • Bidirectional Text Support.
  • Complex Text Layout Support.
• Azure Support for .NET Standard - Published the DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.Azure NuGet package - .NET Standard-specific analog of the DevExpress.Web.Reporting.Azure package. It allows you to store temporary document data within Azure Storage.

WinForms Reporting

• Report Designer - New Add Parameter Dialog.

WinForms / WPF Reporting

• Report Designer - Easier Navigation - The desktop designer offers a new "Navigate To Control" option that will navigate you to the target component. This will help you find a specific control within a complex report layout. Any necessary scrolling / expansion will be performed automatically.
• Report Designer - Easier Alignment - The Report Designer now allows you to convert multiple labels into a single table. This will help you to create a better aligned Excel file.
• Report Designer - Expand / Collapse All Bands - You can now quickly expand and collapse all report bands using context menu and Ribbon commands:
• Asynchronous Document Generation and Export API - The Document Viewer components can now create, print, and export report documents in a separate thread. This feature is enabled by default for the DevExpress Visual Studio Report Designer and WinForms End-User Report Designer preview tab.
• SqlDataSource Filtering - Compare a Multi-Value Report Parameter with Null Value - You can now use the following filter string for 'SelectQuery' either to display the entire set of data source records or only those selected in a multi-value parameter drop-down editor.

Web Reporting

• Web Report Designer - Field List Performance Enhancements
  • The Report Designer now sends a single request to a web-server at initial rendering (to discover Field List nesting levels).
  • The Field List now loads its elements on demand. This reduces possible delays when searching through field list items and helps avoid browser lock-up for extremely large and complex data sources.
• Expression Editor - Comments and Line Breaks - Expression text can now contain comments, newline and space characters to improve readability for complex expressions.
• Miscellaneous Enhancements
  • The Web Report Designer's Data Source Wizard allows you to search through the list of available connections.
  • Updated CSS styles used in Document Viewer and Report Designer to address conflicts with Bootstrap CSS styles. As a result, both components will now appear and render correctly when used in a Bootstrap-based application.

PDF export adds support for ZUGFeRD Version 2.1.

Features

• New Features
  • Export
    • PDF: Supporting ZUGFeRD Version 2.1.
  • .NET
    • Introduced new RepositoryHelper class with DeleteItemWithDependencies function.
    • Parameterized data sources now also support date typed parameters. Example: param.Value = "{{CreatedOn=01.01.2020|format=date|choicesfield=All_Contacts.CreatedOn}}";.
  • Dataprovider
    • In ODataDataProvider added the capability to handle different OData namespaces in multiple schemas.
  • Print
    • Tables and autosize columns: if the MinWidth of a cell is Null(), the cell is automatically sized to the needed width if it would be smaller. Important for example for numerical columns to see all data. Same for MaxWidth.
  • Others
    • Sort orders in preview: While the sort order menu offered ASC, DESC and Unsorted, clicking on the sort icon only toggled between ASC and DESC. Now it iterates all three states too.
• Improvements
  • Mail
    • LsSendMail() API: when the window handle passed is NULL, the send operation is done in the same thread, otherwise in a separate one (to get out of the way of message queue issues with Outlook's editor). But in the mode with the separate thread, Outlook leaks much less handles, so setting "HKCU\software\combit\cmbtll<appname without extension>" "ForceSendMailInSeparateThread" [String] "T" will also force this behavior to use a thread. In addition, a COM object loss was fixed, also resulting in less handles leaked.
    • XMAPI: A COM object loss was fixed, also resulting in less handles leaked.
    • XMAPI: leaving the Outlook form by canceling it (sending the mail does not show the behavior!) did cause MAPI to hang on MAPIUninitialize(). Now there's a MAPI DLL Cache in the MX delaying MAPIUninitialize. Also LsSendMail() puts the send process to a different thread, which prohibits the phenomenon of an inaccessible Send dialog.
  • .NET
    • The TableLineGroupHeader class now supports the KeepGroupTogether property.
    • The NetworkFileProvider helper class now also supports ReadFile using Impersonation for the .NET Core build. Before, an exception was raised as this feature hadn't been implemented.
    • The MailJob class has new member ErrorText.This returns the LastError on an exception.
    • The AutoDefineNewPage event args have a new member IsPreprocessing. This will be true if the print engine is currently in the first pass of a multi pass print (e.g. if keep data together is selected for any of the tables).
  • Print
    • The preview control may be forced to display a wait cursor in incremental view by explicitly switching to LS_OPTION_MOUSEMODE_WAIT mode.
    • The preview control still shows a wait cursor in incremental view when hovering the main area while there first page is still prepared for display.
  • Export
    • Added the Export.ConversionPreventPageReloadAfterDelete option for a slight performance gain when re-exporting only few pages into a preview file from a originally huge preview file by using the ConvertTo feature.
    • The data-only XLS export adopts the font face, size and color from the project's default font. If this font's color is white, this results in invisible characters in XLS inadvertedly. So in this special case, the color is switched to black to make sure the result can be read.
  • Dataprovider
    • The RestDataProvider now also supports the file:// protocol as valid URL and loads local files accordingly.
  • Designer
    • Report Designer: Introduced LL.ChartObject.AxisCoordinate.SecondaryValue to access the original axis coordinate in addition to the bubble size in a bubble chart.
  • Ad-hoc Designer
    • Changed Adhoc-Designer for .NET Core: Removed services.AddMvc() call from AddAdhocDesigner method because it should be called directly in ConfigureServices in Startup file.
    • Removed the code for adding default route in UseAdhocDesigner method because the default route should also be added directly in Startup file.
    • Changed the place of AdhocDesignerSetting input parameter from AddAdhocDesigner to UseAdhocDesigner method because according to Autofac documents in ASP.NET Core 3.0+ they added ConfigureContainer method to access the Autofac container builder which runs after ConfigureServices and before Configure method in Startup and due to the need to use Autofac container builder for AdhocDesignerSessionManager we should call AdhocDesigner.Setup method not before Configure method.

    • Removed the code for adding default route in UseAdhocDesigner method because the default route should also be added directly in Startup file.
    • Changed the place of AdhocDesignerSetting input parameter from AddAdhocDesigner to UseAdhocDesigner method because according to Autofac documents in ASP.NET Core 3.0+ they added ConfigureContainer method to access the Autofac container builder which runs after ConfigureServices and before Configure method in Startup and due to the need to use Autofac container builder for AdhocDesignerSessionManager we should call AdhocDesigner.Setup method not before Configure method.
