Samples

See on GitHub examples for working with the ASP.NET MVC Flash Designer component. All examples are separate projects, grouped into one solution for Visual Studio.

The Flash Designer component (StiMvcDesignerFx) is designed to edit reports in the browser window. You do not need to install the .NET Framework, ActiveX components or any special plug-ins from the client. All you need is a Web browser with Flash support.

With Flash Designer, you can create, edit, save, view and print reports on any computer with any installed operating system, where there is an Internet connection and a Web browser with Flash support.

Flash Designer is divided into two parts - client and server. The client-side is the graphics wrapper of the designer, implemented using the Flash technology. The server-side is the report engine that uses the .NET Framework to render reports. Also, the server-side contains modules that perform the functions of receiving requests, processing them, and then transferring the linked data to the client-side. These two parts are assembled into one library and presented as an ASP.NET MVC component.

In order to use Flash Designer in a Web-project, the installation of the Stimulsoft.Reports.Web NuGet package is required:

  • Select ‘Manage NuGet Packages…’ menu item in the project’s pop-up menu;

  • In the ‘Browse’ tab, type ‘Stimulsoft.Reports.Web’ in the search textbox;

  • Click the Stimulsoft.Report.Web package, select the version of the package and click Install. If the package should be updated, use the Update button.

If, for some reason, that is not possible, the following assemblies should be added to the project:
