FastReport Open Source 2022.1 Release

Published by -

.NET 6 support

Enabled SourceLink

Added the ability to use SourceLink to debug FastReport OpenSource source code without having to download and connect the source code manually. More details.


Added GS1 DataBar barcodes: Limited, Omnidirectional, Stacked and Stacked Omnidirectional.

New properties: Config.CompilerSetting.ExceptionBehaviour and Config.CompilerSetting.Placeholder.

These properties allow you to customize the behavior when exceptions with invalid database field and table names occur.

Config.CompilerSetting.Placeholder is a string variable that is used to replace expressions with nonexistent names. By default, the value of this variable is an empty string.

Config.CompilerSetting.ExceptionBehaviour can have the following values: ExceptionBehaviour.Default - default behavior, as it was before. If there are errors with invalid names, an error message is displayed. Report preparation is interrupted. ExceptionBehaviour.ReplaceExpressionWithExceptionMessage - invalid expressions are replaced by the text of the exception message. Errors are not shown at that. Report preparation is not interrupted. ExceptionBehaviour.ShowExceptionMessage - A message appears with the exception text, after pressing OK, report preparation continues. Incorrect expressions are replaced with the value of Placeholder variable. ExceptionBehaviour.ReplaceExpressionWithPlaceholder - invalid expressions are simply replaced with Placeholder. No error messages. Report preparation is not interrupted.

Example with variable values: ExceptionBehaviour = ExceptionBehaviour.ReplaceExpressionWithPlaceholder Placeholder = "NO DATA!

Here you can see that the table has a field named FistName, but it's not specified correctly in the expression.

And this is the result of preparing such a report. Previously it would have been impossible to prepare it due to errors.

Improvements to WebReport

Separating different report pages into bookmarks

Added the ability to open different ReportPage pages in different WebReport tabs. To activate this feature, you need to enable the webReport.SplitReportPagesInTabs option.


Static Styles in WebReport

To be able to override the standard styles of the toolbar, outline and other elements for your own customization, static class names have been added. These include: fr-toolbar, fr-toolbar-item, fr-toolbar-narrow, fr-toolbar-dropdown-content, fr-toolbar-zoom-selected, fr-toolbar-pointer, fr-toolbar-notbutton, fr-toolbar-slash.
