WinForms

• Reporting Enhancements

  Reports for WinForms includes several enhancements including an improved look and feel in the C1ReportDesigner application and in other UI components, improved Crystal Reports import, a non-paginated SSRS viewer (similar to Reports for WinRT), new text search bar as an alternative to the search panel in the C1PrintPreviewControl, and C1Report scripting enhancements (better designer script editor and "global" script module per report).
