Several enhancements and changes were made to ComponentOne Reports for WinForms in the 2010 v3 release.

New Features

The following improvements were made in the 2010 v3 release of ComponentOne Reports for WinForms:

• New C1RdlReport Component

The C1RdlReport component was added in this release. This component represents an RDL (Report Definition Language) report defined using the 2008 version of the RDL specification. The C1RdlReport component is similar to the C1Report component with the addition of RDL support. See Working with C1RdlReport for more information.

Note that RDL import in C1PrintDocument (provided by the ImportRdl and FromRdl methods) is now obsolete. The C1RdlReport control should be used instead.

Improvements and Changes

The following improvements were made in the 2010 v3 release of ComponentOne Reports for WinForms:

• Azure Support

Support for the Azure platform was added.

• Loading Speed

The loading speed for C1Report XML report definition files containing multiple reports with subreports was improved.

• Pre-Built CustomFields

For .NET 4.0 version only: a pre-built version of C1.C1Report.CustomFields.4.dll is now included in the release. It no longer directly references a specific version of the C1Chart assembly (it is used via reflection), so C1.Win.C1Chart.4.dll can be updated without recompiling CustomFields. See the CustomFields sample for details.

• Size of Generated Reports

The size of reports generated at design time when a report is loaded into the preview control were limited. The following are the control limits:

o C1Report: maximum: 4 pages

o C1RdlReport: maximum: 12 records
