Silverlight Report Designer and End-User Report Wizard (coming in v2011 vol 2)

     

With the upcoming release of DXperience v2011 vol 2, XtraReports for Silverlight will feature a new WYSIWYG End-User Report Designer for in-browser report editing.

Silverlight End-User Report Designer 

The report designer will allow your users to:

  • Edit static content.
  • Re-position controls via drag & drop.
  • Change control size using the mouse.

In addition to the WYSISWYG Report Designer, v2011 vol 2 will ship with a new Silverlight Report Wizard...allowing your end-users to create new reports using a straightforward wizard interface.

This will be helpful for XAF Web UI, if it will include Silverlight technology later.

I like the resdesign of the report wizard, hoping that has been applied to winforms, too. Make that thing look less like Access 95 :)
