Stacked DataBar, Patch Codes & Improved Support for MS SQL Server 2012

What’s new in this release?

We are happy to announce the new release of Aspose.BarCode for Reporting Services 6.7.0. This release brings important changes in perspective of new symbologies support, full support of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and other updates regarding Visual Studio 2012. We have also fixed a few internal errors. These errors were impacting the barcode visibility on the report server. We have added support of stacked codes those are part of DataBar symbologies. DataBar stacked is a variation of the RSS-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the normal symbol would be too wide for the application. DataBar expanded stacked barcode can grow vertically, it can encode a large amount of data in small space. DataBar omnidirectional stacked is perfectly suitable for POS (point of sale) applications. Patch codes are a set of 6 distinct barcode patterns (1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and T) that are typically used as document separators when scanning. For Microsoft SQL Server 2012, we have provided two assemblies. First “Design Version” works only with designers (Visual Studio or BIDS). This assembly is located in the Bin\SSRS2012\DesignVersion directory. Second “RunTimeVersion” works only with Server. This assembly is located in the Bin\SSRS2012\RunTimeVersion directory. We’ve updated manual installation docs as well. Toolbox in Visual Studio 2012 can’t detect any report component, but we can work with a report with Barcode component in Visual Studio 2012 without problem. The main problem is, how to put Barcode component to report and there are two ways. First Create a report in Visual Studio 2010 and next open this report in Visual Studio 2012 and work with report and 2ndly add Barcode component to report manually in code. For this need open report code (View Code) and put into <ReportItems> element.     after this we can switch to “View Designer” and work with barcode component. This new release also includes a fix of caption text alignment.  The alignment settings were not working perfectly. Below is the list of new and improved features added in this new release
  • Added full support for SQL Server 2012
