'0' is not a valid value for property 'ColumnSpan'.

[ProIT]

Hi there

When you create a new virtual machine in azure and try to run the wpf designer (Designer.Wpf.exe) from the current stimulsoft download (stimulsoft-reports-2017.2.3-Pack\Designers\.NET) you get
the following exception immediately:
----------------------------
[General Info]

Application: Stimulsoft Reports

[Exception Info]
Message: '0' is not a valid value for property 'ColumnSpan'.

It seems like you set somewhere in the function Stimulsoft.Report.WpfDesign.StiWpfPropertiesPanelServiceInit(StiWpfDesignerControl designer) the column span property (ColumnSpanProperty) to 0.

If you would like I can organize a team viewer session to have a look at the virtual machine.

DesignerV2.Wpf.exe and Designer.WinForms.exe work without any issue.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

We have found that issue occurs in specific systems.
We have added additional checks. Will be available in the next release.

Also, if you need it immediately, please send us a request on support@stimulsoft.com

Hi

Great, thank you. As a workaround we switched to DesignerV2.Wpf. Therefore we can wait for the next release.

Have a nice day
