Excel formulas in the BIFF export
17 November 2011 — reportingfor.info
Starting from FR VCL 4.11.15 the BIFF export can export formulas. For example, to export the formula SUM(A1:B2) put a TfrxMemoView on a report and write in it
=SUM(A1:B2)
The first character of the text must be the equality sign “=”, and the rest of it – a correct Excel formula. Exporting of formuals is controlled by the BIFF export’s property ExportFormulas and to disable this option, simply write
procedure DisableFormulas(Exp: TfrxBIFFExport); begin Exp.ExportFormulas := False end;

9 October 2010 — reportingfor.infoSome applications require the storing of report templates in a database.

Visual Studio 2010 – what’s new in Visual reporting?
18 April 2010 — reportingfor.infoNew in VS 2010
Recently, Microsoft pleased its development environment with a new version. I sat at their workshop, looked at all new features being actively promoted. New Visual Studio has become faster (and who would doubt it? ) and creates smaller applications (of course, it does), and less demanding on memory usage, and a lot of useful things. For example – the plugging system for working with shortcuts, and changing the startup page through special project and Editing in the XAML, possibilities of ejecting windows docked in visual studio beyond the screen. I like the ability to scale fonts in the editor via Ctrl + mouse wheel. ‘Navigate to’ window- finding a class or function depending on the keyword.
There are also new innovations doubtful to me, for example, in the intelliSense ‘suggestion’ mode – generation of non-existent classes depending on the name of the left side of the expression, or auto update HELP from the Internet.
And absolutely new – a set of development tools for the Azure (for “clouds”, a new designer and debugger for WPF and Silverlight (all processing at the WPF level).
