Models

The new model Lasernet engine contains the Lasernet runtime and the installer for the Lasernet Form Editor.

Entering an older license code will activate Lasernet Enterprise 7.1. Similarly, entering a license code from 6.x will also activate the Enterprise version of Lasernet.

All older license codes are compatible with 7.1.

Lasernet FO Connector 7.1 integrates the Lasernet runtime engine (Embedded) and the Lasernet Form Editor within Lasernet FO Connector. It can run in a hybrid fashion, in which some reports are processed via the Embedded runtime engine, while other reports are processed via the Lasernet server.

Lasernet Enterprise supports the Embedded/runtime engine and Lasernet server, while Lasernet Professional only uses the Embedded engine/runtime.

Depending on the workload and/or complexity of the report, some reports can take advantage of the built-in runtime engine, while others are executed via a Lasernet server.

Lasernet FO Connector 7.1 contains the following versions:

  • Lasernet Essentials: Activated with no license code. It can be used immediately, and all features can be accessed either within the workspace or when previewing a document through Lasernet.

  • Lasernet Professional: Activated via a valid license code. All features can be accessed via the workspace.

  • Lasernet Advanced/Enterprise: Activated via a valid license code. All features can be accessed either via the workspace or via the modules (Lasernet).

Lasernet FO Connector 7.1 contains the following models, including the model for integration with D365CE (Dataverse) and the models for the Lasernet Print buttons:

Note

The class LACSrsPrintDestinationSettings_Extension is now named SrsPrintDestinationSettings_LAC_Extension.

If errors related to LACSrsPrintDestinationSettings_Extension occur, some objects or models may not be checked in. Another possible problem is that not all models have been built.

Ensure the following new objects/dll files are added to TFS in case you are not just installing/deploying the AOT package:

  • LACSupport.dll.config

  • XmlDiffPatch.dll

  • XmlDiffPath.View.dll

null

The following is the complete list of objects that are not automatically added.
