It depends on how you present the reports to the end user. If you export the report in PDF (or other format) you can also use the WinForm version, since you only have to use the rendering engine (and obviously the designer to draw the report). If instead you want to encapsulate the interactive Web viewer inside an html panel or asp panel you must use the Web edition even if according to the documentation the WindForms version also has a WebForms viewer (ASP.NET).
Consider that if you only need some image PDFs (not text) of a few pages you can also use the Community version of FastReport.
Alternatively, if you use PDF export and remain in .NET 4.8 you can use the CrystalReport engine without problems (and with a little work also use the ASP.NET viewers of Crystal Report, of which I think someone on the forum posted a wrapper for Wisej.NET)
Otherwise, if you want a complete engine with a complete designer at zero cost, there is always the local engine of SSRS (Reporting Services)
Frankly, I recommend in the order SSRS, CrystalReports. FastReports only if you need to be multiplatform (Windows Linux…)

Another way to do it would be to use pdf.js and to place a Wisej.NET button over the toolbar. You can place a button over (not as a child) the toolbar in the right position and anchor it correctly to make it look like it’s part of the toolbar.

Hi Jean,
it depends on what PDF Viewer you will be using.
I think you can extend pdf.js when you select it as a custom type but this is beyond the scope of Wisej.NET support.
It also seems that DevExtreme (the web version of DevExpress) does not include a PDF viewer yet.
Best regards

Sorry, I hadn’t noticed that there were two Crystal Reports installation files in the “Resources” folder; my apologies.
Hello,
There are no plans to integrate Dockmanager, You should be able to replicate the functionality using docking, anchoring, and splitcontainer
See docs:
Anchoring and Docking: https://docs.wisej.com/docs/concepts/layouts
SplitContainer: https://docs.wisej.com/docs/controls/containers/splitcontainer
Hope this helps,
Julie
Hi Jean,
are your initial issues appearing when you run in Visual Studio or after you have deployed your application?
If it’s in the deployed application please check if web.config is correctly copied to the target folder.
If it’s happening inside Visual Studio try deleting obj and bin folder, restart Visual Studio and try again.
What happens if you remove the new button?
Best regards
Frank
Hi Jean,
did you reinstall the VSIX from here?
There is also a section for missing templates in our documentation:

Hi Jean,
did you create a new application using a Wisej project template or worked on an existing application?
From your description it’s hard to tell what went wrong. We’d need a test case to check it on our end.
Best regards

Here’s a very simple sample that works for me, I was able to click on the calendar dates and see the AlertBox from the WidgetEvent.
Julie
From the example:
public dxCalendar()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.dxCalendar1.Instance.onValueChanged += new WidgetEventHandler(dxCalendar1_WidgetEvent);
}
private void dxCalendar1_WidgetEvent(object sender, WidgetEventArgs e)
{
AlertBox.Show(
$”<b>{e.Type}</b><br/>{JSON.Stringify(e.Data)}”,
MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Application.Play(MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
Clicking a date does not trigger WidgetEvent.
Thanks Julie! I’ll take a look at the examples you provided. I’m experienced in DexExpress but DevExtreme is new to me.
You’ll need the DevExtreme nuget package installed. In Visual Studio, go to “Manage Nuget Packages” and search for Wisej-3-DevExtreme. Once the nuget package is installed, open the designer. In the toolbox, search for “dxCalendar”. You can then drag and drop the dxCalendar from the toolbox into the designer.
For getting it to pay attention when you select a date, attach to the onValueChanged event like so:
dxCalendar1.Instance.onValueChanged += new WidgetEventHandler(dxCalendar1_WidgetEvent);
dxCalendar1_WidgetEvent would look something like this:
private void dxCalendar1_WidgetEvent(object sender, WidgetEventArgs e)
{
AlertBox.Show(
$"{e.Type}
{JSON.Stringify(e.Data)}");
}
Here’s an example from the demobrowser:

Hi William,
we’re an US based company so all our prices are in US $.

Currently the colors in the navigation bar are themed (see NavigationBar.mixin.theme) and in sync between compact and expanded view.
So you either overwrite them in a custom mixin or for testing add this:
Application.Theme.Colors["navbar-background"] = "#FFEF00";
For an example of the Navigationbar mixin see here: https://wisej.com/support/question/navigationbar-mixin-theme-question
Additionally, I’ve added an enhancement request for updating the subitems to use the navbar colors.
I can reproduce. We’ll look into this.
Julie
Thank you, is it possible to set a separate culture for a certain usercontrol or page?
Please refer to our documentation to see how to change the culture of your application:
https://docs.wisej.com/docs/concepts/localization#detecting-switching-browser-language
Best regards
Frank
It’s not a bug.
The issue is that the culture is set for the column and not the entire application. Set the application culture to es-CO and that will fix the issue.
The shared folder is the folder that the user shares with the web application via the Client File System API. This is the folder that the user chooses from the dialog when you call this code:
Directory directory = await ClientFileSystem.ShowDirectoryPickerAsync();
I’ve created an example directory that looks like this:
Example Folder
-folder1
—-file1.txt
—-file2.txt
-folder2
-textfile.txt
To get the relative path, you can use the “Name” property for each of the files and folders, then put it all together. For example here’s how to get the relative path to file1.txt from the root folder (Example Folder):
Directory directory = await ClientFileSystem.ShowDirectoryPickerAsync();
//get all subdirectories, in this case folder1 and folder2
Directory[] subDirectoryArray = await directory.GetDirectoriesAsync("*");
//get folder1-it's the first one in the array
Directory folder1 = subDirectoryArray[0];
//get file1.txt from folder1
File[] fileArray = await folder1.GetFilesAsync("file1.txt");
//get the first (and only) file from the array
File file = fileArray[0];
//Put together the filepath based on the Name property
AlertBox.Show("filepath: "+folder1.Name+"\\"+file.Name);
I’ve attached the sample project and the sample directory.
Download both, and when you run the sample project, after clicking the button, select the sample directory (Example Folder). Doesn’t matter where you put it in your filesystem as the browser will only have access to the files within the sample directory.
