We’re making huge strides 🙂 Two weeks ago we used our corporate time machine to get back to 2000 and recently we had a trip to 2008… Well probably I’m not an expert in literary techniques so let me simply announce that we have just released Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 1.3.0 and it now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 code name Katmai! We tested it on the recently published CTP 3 available to download here. So now the product is fully … Continue Reading

This is a full-scale release that can be particularly useful for the people who needs exporting reports to the DOC, RTF or WordML formats on the 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. Also, we have added a separate assembly that supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 code name Katmai.

What’s new:

• Added the support of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 “Katmai” Reporting Services. We have tested the product on the CTP 3.
• The MSI installer’s behaviour was slightly changed. Now it installs the rendering

Currently, Aspose.Words Documentation includes a description of all the exciting Aspose.Words feature in a single table. This is historical. Aspose.Words 1.0 was released in 2003 with a pretty small set of features and using a simple table to describe it all was sufficient. After that, due to rapidly rising popularity we’ve been so busy on Aspose.Words development that some essential areas such as marketing documentation (for example Feature Overview) suffered from the lack of our attention.

We are currently working to update Aspose.Words marketing documentation … Continue Reading

This is a minor release containing a fix for the MSI installer.

What’s fixed:

• MSI installer requires .NET Framework 1.1 to run.

Now the installer supports any version of .NET Framework installed on the target machine.

Apart of this fix, the release includes minor memory optimizations and code refactorings that do not affect the functionality of the product.

The answer is simple: love it! Love it, work on it, enjoy every single line of code you add. Sorry these are the only ways I know so probably I could never write a book with such a title 🙂

Yes, it’s been exactly three weeks since we released Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 1.1 and today we have published 1.2. The reason of such quick version change is that we have added a very important feature and significantly improved product functionality; … Continue Reading

We have decided to jump from 1.1 to 1.2 without publishing any minor hotfixes mainly because we added a very important and expected feature. Aspose.Words for Reporting Services now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2000! That was briskly demanded by many users and we just could not leave their requests without attention. Note both deployment options (MSI installer and zip package) now include two assemblies, one for Reporting Services 2000 and the other for Reporting Services 2005. MSI installer will ask you what assembly … Continue Reading
