Documentation missing: image caching etc.

patwolf · Post by **patwolf** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:21 pm

Hi,

it seems like there are quite a few functions which aren't mentioned in the documentation:
e.g.
StiOptions.Engine.ImageCache.Enabled = true;
StiOptions.Engine.ImageCache.CachePath = "image.cache";

StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.LimitForStartUsingCache property .
StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.CachePath

Where would I find out how to use them please?

Also:
* What is the difference between Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.CachePath and report.ReportCachePath?
* Is cache path a relative path? like "cache.image" or an absolute path "c:\temp\cache.image"?
* When should I use image cache and when report cache?

Thanks,
Patrick

ImageCache is intended for caching of the images with size which exceeds 1 Mb.

ReportCache is a cache on hard drive which allows you to build reports with high memory consumption. Sometimes there is not enough memory even for loading all the rendered report at the same time and only part of the report can be loaded at once.

Also:
* What is the difference between Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.CachePath and report.ReportCachePath?

report.ReportCachePath is intended for internal use only. Please do not use it.

* Is cache path a relative path? like "cache.image" or an absolute path "c:\temp\cache.image"?

It is an absolute path.

* When should I use image cache and when report cache?

Image cache is necessary for caching big size images and report cache is intended for caching of whole pages.

Thank you.

Hi Edward,

thanks for your helpful reply. If I may add a suggestion... keeping the documentation in the forum can be confusing and time consuming for many users so maybe setting up a wiki would be the most helpful approach to have uptodate documentation with samples, videos etc.

I can highly recommend this wiki: http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/Min ... i/Download

All the best,
Patrick

$window.Stimulsoft.StiOptions.Engine.ImageCache.Enabled = true;

But at execution time, its giving me error as "message": "Cannot set property 'Enabled' of undefined"

So anybody can help me out here?
