I design a UWP application.
In this one I am asked to make many reports that they are invoices or print delivery for example.
These can therefore have different models and these can be fixed or dynamic.
I explore different ideas:
- In the old application in WPF, we used an old version of DevExpress but it's really not easy to make reports simply and scalable ways easily
- There are indeed things like Telerik, ComponentOne but it's really expensive for what it does and I can not find an open source component.
- I looked to be able to make the models in XAML and be able to print them which would be ideal, however it works well with text but with tables (listbox, listview, datagrid ...) I can not manage the pagination.
Do you have any ideas? I do not know Power Bi Embedded well but maybe be an idea? I would like something scalable and simple to implement and without having to pay exhobirating sums for this kind of component.
use all in one DataGrid for enterprise LOB apps on uwp platform, it offers you editing, filtering and sorting etc as well : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/datagrid
use Print helper to print stuff from your uwp app. : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/helpers/printhelper
Also please do look through other controls and helpers within windows community toolkit you might find some other stuff as well to help and simplify your uwp app developing experience :)

Can anyone tell how to create cascading drop down in the library of share point 2010 without the help of java script and info path designer.i am trying through java script techniques,but its not working properly and i don't want to use info path designer.please help.
Without JavaScript and Infopath, you're into custom server side code. Without jQuery/Ajax then it's going to be a very clunky interface with multiple posts and screen redraws.
You may not be having much success with JavaScript but I can attest to using the SPServices and jQuery to achieve some very competent cascading dropdown solutions in SP207/2010 successfully. Have a look Here, there's plenty of sample code and advice.
I've had decent luck with using a 'custom field type' for such problems, if you need this to all be on an out of the box form. If you don't need this to be on an out of the box form, then it's no different than any other ASP.NET cascading drop down.
I haven't used custom field types a lot, and I've found them a bit awkward to get started with, but they're not really all that complicated once you have the basic template as most of the information is static; you can just take an unrelated example from someone else and change the few bits that apply to you.
You can make a custom form for the content type (if Visual Studio is an option) and do it like in any asp.net applications.
See here an example: http://spcustomforms.codeplex.com/
spcascade.org provides best free solution which support multi level dropdown list with no limits.
It is javascript/jquery based solution with no page refreshes and involves only one look up list for multiple columns.
Saves data in single line text instead of Ids that are used by typical look up columns.
Very easy to use syntax too!

I have a simple solution without any JavaScript code: Cascading Drop Down Lists in SharePoint. Let me know if it solves your problem.
In the example section in extjs4 official site, the source code is clean and direct (on a single page). However the ext designer uses MVC architecture that I am quite confused.
If I want to create UI using extjs 4, for multiple page, am I supposed to create multiple projects in ext designer?
I think these are two seperate questions '1. should I use MVC' and '2. Why does Designer NOT use MVC'.
In my opinion that answer to 1. should be 'yes' unless you project is relatively small and you feel comfy managing the entire codebase in one long file. This quickly becomes unmanagable and there is a lot of searching needed to locate the section you're after.
The answer to 2. is that designer is aimed to provide designers (funnily enough!) who often won't have any coding experience the ability to create prototypes and templates that developers can pick apart and build into applications. At least that was true with designer version 1.
I believe designer 2 is aimed much much at being able to directly port code into applications but if you're talking about version 1 I think you will need to take the code generated by the designer and move it into an MVC style structure in order to build applications which are anything more than a couple of simple pages.
I'm used to winforms development, haven't done any WPF and I'm starting a Silverlight project. I understand xaml and all (and I've got some resources for learning it) but I'm wondering if there's any resources available that shows what controls are used in what kinds of situations.
For instance, if you look at the BusinessApplication template in vs2010, they use a border or a grid in cases where I would think of a panel. Things like that.
I'm looking for more of a 'tips' kind of thing than a tutorial or reference. References normally just say what a control is; not when, where or why you would use a particular control.
These two should help you out...

Does anyone know of any good free libraries providing Windows Forms controls for displaying schedules/timetables in .NET? I'm really looking for something similar to what the guy who asked this question was seeking, with a couple of differences:
I don't need any help organizing the underlying data or generating the schedule (that's all set) -- I just want a clean way of displaying it.
I'm actually looking for a custom control in Windows Forms, not an ASP.NET control.
One thing I've considered doing is just using a TableLayoutPanel control, but ideally I'm looking for something that will be more straightforward code-wise (as in, something actually designed for displaying a timetable) and sharper-looking visually.
How about this control? It is very similar to the calendar in Outlook. It does come with source code, so if it's not quite what you need you could maybe use this as a base for your own implementation.
Download the source code for http://www.monocalendar.com
He built a control (CalWidget) that you can easily recompile in your own project that's pretty nice. I recompiled it in .net 4.0 with little problems.
I have a web app for commercial property management that needs spreadsheet-like functionality for doing budgets. I don't want to use Google Sheets because my users won't necessarily have a Google account.
So is there anything out there that I could use?
I looked and could only find SocialCalc which wasn't quite good enough for me.
Options:
ExtJS Grid Component (Open Source[GPL3] & Commercial License)
Infragistics Grid Component (Commercial License)
TreeGrid (Commercial License, Free Version has maximum of 33 rows)
If you don't mind implementing the logic yourself, the ExtJS grid component is a JavaScript grid component with lots of powerful features, and it is available in both open-source and commercial versions.
I have used dhtmlXGrid successfully. There is an open source version that you can use freely to get your application developed. Assuming everything works out, for $200 you can purchase a license for it and distribute it with your application.
Very easy to use; create an HTML table structure with your data in it and then bind dhtmlXGrid to the table - it automatically turns the table cells into editable fields.
Check it out here: http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid
Again, you will need to implement the spreadsheet logic yourself but dhtmlXGrid makes it straightforward to translate that into an editable column/row display.
There is an excellent grid from Farpoint
They have web and win forms grids available and are not too bad price wise
Infragistics has spreadsheet-type functionality in their data grid product
You may want to give a try to treegrid # www.coqsoft.com .
try telerik radgrid. It is a pretty decent .net user control which can easily render an XML datasource for user editting. Its also fully Ajax enabled to avoid delays when entering volumes of data.
