VCL FR3 --> .NET FR4

Hi folks,

I have a project that was built in Delphi 7 using (vcl) fr3 for reporting. For various reasons we've had to switch to ms visual studio 2008 for the next release, and I would like to know if I can reuse the old reports. I know that v3-->v4 is no problem, but what happens if I'm also switching platform? There is some code in a few of the reports, so that will have to be ported to c#, no big deal. How about the forms themselves and the data sources?

cheers,
Nelson

    yes you can
    To convert old .fr3 files to a new .frx format, do this:
    - download the latest version of FastReport 4 (you can even use the trial
    version)
    - add the "frxSaveFRX" unit into your uses list
    - run report designer, go "File|Save as...", choose the file type -
    "FastReport.Net file".

    see Alexanders reply to vcl to .net in the .net news group for more info.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
