Release UL_2014.01.10: VBSample CustomDesigner does not work

[StepTK]

Hello,

the Silverlight VB.NET sample "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stimulsoft Reports.Ultimate 2013.3\Samples\Silverlight\VB.Net\Pure\CustomDesigner\"
does not work anymore in prerelease "Release UL_2014.01.10" (release 2013.3 does not work as well).

Compile error:
interface method "Public Property Designer As Stimulsoft.Report.SLDesign.StiSLDesignerControl Implements Stimulsoft.Report.SLDesign.IStiSLDesignerMenu.Designer"
does not exist anymore and 1-2 other compile errors.

After correcting the compile errors i get the following exception during startup initialization:
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
LineNumber=9
LinePosition=47
Message=The invocation of the constructor on type 'Stimulsoft.Report.SLDesign.StiSLDesignerControl' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception. [Line: 9 Position: 47]

Hello,

Sorry for the delay with responce.
In this sample, now you need add the following code in CustomMenu class:

Code: Select all

public CustomMenu(StiSLDesignerControl designer)
{
            InitializeComponent();
            this.designer = designer;
}

Thank you.

Hello Aleksey,

i have just installed the new version 2014.3:
The constructor of hte CustomMenu is not called anymore (it was working in the older version).
The properties
StiOptions.Silverlight.Designer.UseCustomMenu = True
StiOptions.Silverlight.Designer.CustomMenuType = GetType(CustomMenu)
are marked as obsolete. How do I instantiate the CustomMenu in the new version!?

Thank You

Hello,

We made many changes in the themes in last versions. Unfortunately, in the new version it is not available.
On current moment, it is possible only from source code.

Thank you.
