We have prepared a number of changes that you will be able to immediately use in your projects. We have added the native .NET Core components which will be part of Stimulsoft Reports.Web, added new wizards to design reports (invoices, quotes etc.), added alerts in the report designer which will notify you about the current status of your subscription. Also we have added the new chart type - Pictorial.

In version 2017.1 we announced support for the cross-platform technology - .NET Core. Components are represented as a full-featured HTML5 designer and viewer. Support for .NET Core was implemented as a wrapper around JS components but this solution caused some limitations for working with reports. Following the requests of our clients, we made a decision to port the report engine to .NET Core. This will allow users to work with report objects on the server side - edit, render, export reports and connect data. The release of the updated components is scheduled for the end of 2017 in December.

We are delighted to announce that we have won Top 100 Publisher Award from ComponentSource. The allocation of the awards has been calculated based on real sales orders placed by customers globally during 2015.

The main problems when reading reports are information overload pages, text is plain and blurred. This leads to the fact that you cannot focus on the information that is important. One of the ways to solve this is to remove the background information. However, it is not always appropriate to do because background information can carry the load indirectly. For example, the background information may include company contact details, titles, and additional notes. Therefore, the deleting such information is an extreme case.

In this article I will show you how to add quickly and easily a simple but very nice report on the web page. Actions will be done in two simple steps — the design of the report and creating a simple web page to place the report on it. You can use any code editor and the demo package of Stimulsoft Reports JS that you can get at https://www.stimulsoft.com/en/downloads/reports-js.

We are constantly improving our products for web, providing all the necessary set of components to build reports. Today we will talk about the differences between the Flash designer and HTML5 designer.
