What's New in ComponentOne Studio, January 2016

January 13 2016

I’m pleased to announce a 3.5 interim release to follow up on our major release back in November. No major controls—that’s coming up in March—but you’ll find a some great samples and bug fixes. Here's what's new in ComponentOne Studio:

FlexReport for WinForms

Our new XmltoFlxrConverter sample will simplify the already-quick process of converting C1Report (.xml) files to FlexReport (.flxr) files. With the new utility, you won’t have to open your C1Report in the FlexReport Designer one at a time to migrate—you can run the sample, select your batch of XML files, set the output folder, and all selected reports will be converted to FlexReport!

With our new PDF/A support, you can now:
- Export SSRS reports to PDF/A
- Export C1Report to PDF/A
- Set other PDF options on exporting SSRS reports
FlexViewer’s new PageRefreshRate property can be set to load FlexReport faster than before.
C1Report and FlexReport both now have new RightToLeft properties, allowing you to adjust the language orientation of the report.

FlexPivot for WinForms

FlexPivot currently supports all data types, but only basic formatting. New custom formats will allow you to create richer formatting for data.

ASP.NET MVC Edition

FlexGridCustomMerging sample demonstrates how to implement a custom version of the built-in Merge Manager class that allows merging of both rows and columns. It uses a TV schedule to merge programs across weekdays (columns) and showtimes (rows).
