We are glad to announce the availability of Stimulsoft Reports Designer.Silverlight version 2010.3. With this release, we have added two new data adapters, implemented four new UI themes, the Chart component and more. The following is a brief summary of the new features introduced in this product:
New data adapters
The new version provides two new data adapters. The first adapter is designed for dot Connect Universal provider. The adapter is available on the Downloads page of our web-site. The second adapter is designed for accessing MS Access database. The adapter is built into the report engine and can be used without additional configuration.
New Themes for Silverlight
It is now possible to use four new interface themes in the designer and report viewer for Silverlight: Office 2007 Blue, Office 2007 Silverlight, Office 2010 Black, and Office 2010 Silverlight. Themes differ not only by colors but also by functional performance.
Charts in Silverlight reports
It was possible to use charts in reports when the Silverlight was used as a part of the client-server configuration of the report generator. However, the chart could not be used in Silverlight applications without a server. Now this issue is solved.
Encrypted data exchange in Silverlight
The new version of the report generator encrypts the data exchange between client and server. This will increase the safety of the viewer and the report designer in Silverlight.
New Training Resources
We have added a large collection of new videos. These are step-by-step tutorials which show how to create reports in our products. Our documentation was updated with new topics in the HTML section, Getting Started, Exports etc. When using our training resource materials you will receive everything you need for reducing the time and effort you need to design reports.
