Throwback: WeAreDevelopers
World Congress 2025

From the idyllic Lake Constance to the capital on the Spree: this year, we had our own booth at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress – and not only did we have a good mood in our luggage, but also our “next big thing”: List & Label Cross Platform.

We’re evolving: List & Label Cross Platform

List & Label Cross Platform for Linux and more

Maybe you’ve already seen it on our social networks, our website, or in our livestream: at combit, we’re currently working on a new, forward-looking offshoot of List & Label—a cross-platform reporting solution that will primarily run on Linux. Internally, we call this project List & Label Cross Platform (LL-CP). It is aimed primarily at developers looking for a stable, high-performance, and modern reporting solution.

New Service Pack 29.004 for List & Label and the Report Server

The List & Label Service Pack 29.004 is here – with support for Windows Server 2025 and Embarcadero RAD Studio 12.2. Additionally, there are many new improvements, for example, in CSV export, printing, and Report Server performance. In the area of security, there is a new .NET update.

Reporting in Your Applications with Embarcadero RAD Studio

List & Label is a reporting component that integrates with applications to provide them with rich reporting capabilities. It allows developers to create sophisticated reports based on data from any source. Easy data binding for your own VCL applications is provided by List & Label’s FireDAC component, which supports numerous data sources such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, SQLite, DB2, MySQL and PostgreSQL, as well as many other databases and formats. The control over the data for reporting always remains with the application itself.

InMemoryDataProviderWrapper: Data Provider on Steroids

The features of different data providers vary widely. Depending on the data source, sorting, native aggregate functions or filters at database level may be available directly. Or not. For example, none of this is available in file-based formats such as JSON or XML, or even in “web” formats such as REST. These are typically read “front to back” and therefore cannot offer sorting or native aggregation. With List & Label 29, we have something new to offer.
