Hello everyone,

I'm creating report template in Asp.NetCore application but it throws System.Windows.Forms dll missing exception when I'm trying compile the report.
Can you please help?<

Hello,

In our report generator for .NET Core, compilation is not used, interpretation mode is used, and the specified references to the Windows libraries are added for compatibility with the .NET version.

Thank you.

Thank you @Lech Kulikowski
I'm making an auto layout tool. E.g convert html file (just: parent div, table, field set,...) into report template using .NetCore. Is it possible or I need to use .Net version?
Do you have any more complex example for it? (the provided one on GIT Hub just load template file in to the designer)

Regards

p.s: here is one error when I'm trying to add a StiText to StiPanel (there is no Databand yet, just first simple steps). I believe I missed some property settings but cannot find any document about it and it is too greedy to request help for all of these rather than look at example or guide line document

Code: Select all

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I found the reason for above exception. It is because the order of adding component

I. Wrong:
0. Create Root panel (and add to page)
1. Create panel 1
2. Create TextField
3. Add TextField to panel 1
4. Add panel 1 to Root panel

II. Correct order
0. Create Root panel (and add to page)
1. Create panel 1
2. Add panel 1 to Root panel (important order)
3. Create TextField
4. Add TextField to panel 1
