Dear all FastReport Professionals,

I am .Net developer and I do not try FastReport before, but I get a task to modify the fr3 reports.
I believe it is created by FastReport with Delphi (??¦TfrxReport Version="4.2.25"??¦).
If I going to buy the FastRepot.Net WinFroms version, is it possible to modify the reports and it will work healthy?
(I have no right to access the Delphi source....)

Here is the sample of FastReport .

I would like to be a FastReport Professinal as you are ^^

Thanks for your help.

Albert

    Hello Albert,

    FastReport.Net does not support old .fr3 format directly. However, you may use converter tool that reads .fr3 file and saves it in .frx format:

    http://www.fast-report.com/pbc_download/files/fr3tofrx.exe

    This converter does not perform 100% conversion; you need to change the .frx file. The following items are not converted:
    - script (you need to convert pascal code to c# code)
    - expressions (you need to convert pascal functions like Copy, Pos, ... to C# functions)
    - data fields (add datasources, replace < > with [ ], remove " " around field name)
    - totals (you have to replace aggregate functions like Sum, Min, Max with totals - you need to create the total in the "Data" window)
    - charts and vertical bands are not converted
    - cross-tab is not converted

    Thanks for your reply, Alex.

    If I am going to modify the fr3 report without changing the format, I should use FastReport 4 to ensure the report will work properly in old system.
    Is it correct?
    Did FastReport 4 support fr3 format (??¦TfrxReport Version="4.2.25"??¦)?

    If you want to modify existing .fr3 file, you need to use FastReport 4.

    Hello,

    There is no tool to convert frf to frx. However you can convert frf to fr3, then fr3 to frx. Read this topic:

    It appears that you must use the 'Run-time designer' like the Standard version in order to make this conversions.
    right?

    Hello,

    You may use the conversion tool:
    http://www.fast-report.com/pbc_download/files/fr3tofrx.exe

    You don't need to use any other software in this case.
