Where is Reporting in 15.1 Platform Installer? Do i really have to keep 14.2 Reporting alongside 15.1 WPF? If so, when is 15.1 Reporting due out?
Just finished a chat session with an Infragistics rep; bottom line: reporting as we know it is not, and will not, be in 15.1. However, the rep eluded to some announcement about this in a week, but couldn't give me details. So either its dead and they delayed telling anyone because A: "look at the shiny new 15.1 update so forget we gutted reporting" .. or B: they have a brand new secret reporting platform.
If its A then my company is screwed and we will be moving to Telerik and Kendo.
If it's B, then they should have announced it earlier, rather then after a big update that doesn't happen to have the reporting tool, thus making us panic a bit.
yeah i got a reply from Support that said it is not a product anymore. they said they will still be doing service releases for it, but since it didn't have one this round or last, i highly doubt that. last was October 2014.
so is ReportPlus for desktop going to then be included in Infragistics Professional ? Or do i have to spring for ReportPlus desktop in addition to what i already have?
Our current plan is to include R+ in Professional, but we haven't made any official announcements yet. In the next couple of months we'll finalize the packaging and I will let you all know.
Will we see an early preview so we can have a look and decide the way forward?
You can grab ReportPlus iOS form the App Store now and see both the viewer / design experience on iOS. For Desktop, we'll have a viewer experience (no report designer) in the summer timeframe and later in the year the Viewer + Designer experience.
How are you as a developer supposed to design the reports until then? Today I create *.igr files that the users can view and export to pdf/excel. I also use custom datasources (POC objects). Is that going to be possible with ReportPlus? Is there going to be a way to create reports based on existing *.igr files?
