We’re adding support for report parameters and document map (generated by report bookmarks) to our WPF and Silverlight reporting tools. Take a look:
These new features, available in both WPF and Silverlight, recognize the native support for parameters and bookmarks available in our report classes (that derive from XtraReport). The main idea behind our reporting tools (which is what brought me to them in the first place) is that the report classes themselves can be abstracted away from the client side in such a way that given any new client technology X, our engineers already have a rich middle report class that simply needs to get rendered in X. In fact, here is the Silverlight rendering of the same report (exactly the same class) rendered above in WPF:
Our reporting tools therefore become truly client agnostic. Therefore use our tools with confidence! If the client technology changes, rest assured that your reporting investment will yield dividends far into the future.
As always, if there are any comments and/or questions, feel free to get a hold of me!
