I have recently pushed a new My-FyiReporting designer control to master.

It is a winform designer and includes examples of how to host in WPF.

Simple winform example

I have updated my warsetup fork to include a new option to execute an executable once the installation is finished. What I would really like is the ability to setup custom actions through warsetup but this is the next best thing. At least for what I need to do.

It is available in the downloads section and in version 3.14.4 or above.

I have been working on porting the core of My-FyiReporting to Android. I am making good progress. I do not believe there is much at all that needs to be removed or changed in RdlEngine, DataProviders, or RdlCri. This is because instead of rewritting the drawing code I am using a compatibility layer to imitate System.Drawing.

I ran across a great .net project called Eto. It is basically "a cross platform desktop and mobile user interface framework" that is similar to xwt but more mature and supporting more platforms.

I have been testing the winforms and wpf back ends and they seem to work great. It also has a mac and iOS back end that appear to be fully functional. An android back end is planned for the future and I am currently investigating this.

I have been working on MyFyiReporting lately. There is a new wiki page describing how to use barcodes and qr codes (https://github.com/majorsilence/My-FyiReporting/wiki/Barcodes-and-QR-Codes).

I have started putting together some nuget packages for My-FyiReporting. This should make it easier for those that wish to use the viewer or designer in their projects to setup everything.

At the moment I have the x86 package created. It includes .NET 3.5 and 4.0 dlls and will auto setup for your project type. See https://nuget.org/packages/My-FyiReporting.x86.

My-FyiReporting 4.5.2 has been released.

The main new features and bug fixes are:

• RdlReader opens maximized and if only one report opened it opened it opens maximized
• RdlReader can open files with command line arguments, allows dragging report onto reader icon to open report
• RdlReader switched to toolstripmenuitem
• RdlReader now has a toolstrip with open, print, and save as button
• Icons upgraded to newer tango icons where possible
• Some new copy right info added
• Fix missing references

I have decided to fork WarSetup. This is because it has not been updated in several years and was lacking some features that I needed.

I could switch to other software but I like warsetup and would prefer to continue using it. So until the main project starts releasing updates again I will be keeping my fork at https://github.com/majorsilence/WarSetup-Fork.

I have renamed the executable to WarPackager so there is no confusion between the main WarSetup and my fork.

Current added features WarPackager has over the main WarSetup are:

• Wix 3.6 support

There has been a little progress since the last update on My-FyiReporting.

A fix for Issue #15, start the reader program maximized has been committed.

A fix for issue #14 has been committed. if the reader is passed a report file as its first start up parameter will automatically open that report has also been committed.

I have ported the c# xwt samples to vb.net. They are currently hosted at https://github.com/majorsilence/xwt in the SamplesVB folder. I have no idea if they will be accepted into the main code. If they are not I will create a branch in my fork and move the vb.net samples there for anyone that is interested.

The main .net xwt project is https://github.com/mono/xwt.
