## Differences between the .NET and .NET Framework designers' functionality

This section explains the differences between both versions of Standalone Report Designer - for .NET Framework and .NET 8. Although lots of code was shared between the versions, the .NET induced some changes that are listed below.
This section explains the differences between both versions of Standalone Report Designer - for .NET Framework and .NET 10. Although lots of code was shared between the versions, the .NET induced some changes that are listed below.

* __Open, Design, and Preview Coded Reports__ - Starting with the [2025 Q3](https://www.telerik.com/support/whats-new/reporting/release-history/progress-telerik-reporting-2025-q3-19-2-25-813) release, the Standalone Report Designer for .NET can open, design, and preview coded reports. This is the recommended designer for editing coded(type) reports that are part of [.NET-based](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/) solutions - [Coded Reports in the Standalone Report Designer for .NET]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-designer-tools/desktop-designers/standalone-report-designer/srd-net-working-with-type-report-definitions%}).
* __Preview and Export using Skia Graphics Engine__ - The Standalone Report Designer for .NET can switch between GDI+ and Skia graphics engines when previewing, printing, and exporting reports. This functionality, introduced with 2024 Q3 (18.2.24.806), is useful for report authors who design their reports on Windows machines but the target platform for their application is Linux or macOS, where the Skia library is used for processing and rendering. Since Skia does not support EMF format (vector drawing for image rendering), the previewed image may look blurry when zoomed in or out. Switching the state is applied to the Print Preview, Print, and Export functionalities. It affects all reports currently loaded in the Standalone Report Designer for .NET.
