Error - Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiResource'.

[quantruong]

Hi Stimulsoft,

I got an error that was happend on Azure Function ( console app ). The error message is :

Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiResource'.

The problem happend when load a report by Binary

Code: Select all

using (var report = new StiReport())
            {
                if (reportTemplate != null)
                    report.Load(reportTemplate); // Error here
                    }

It will load success on Web (MVC) environtment but when we call it from a Azure Function, it will load fail with above error messsage. The report template is the same for both.
Are there any constrain to load in another environment ?

I attached the report template.
Please note that it and all another report load successful on web but none for azure function ( console app ) with the sameway using.

Thank you

Hello,

Could you try to load an empty report?

Thank you.

I saw in the report template include some reference but my console app doesn't. Is it cause the problem ?

using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using Stimulsoft.Controls;
using Stimulsoft.Base.Drawing;
using Stimulsoft.Report;
using Stimulsoft.Report.Dialogs;
using Stimulsoft.Report.Components;

Please let me know if you need more information

Hello.

Sorry, we can't reproduce the issue.
Could you upgrade to our latest build?
