Hello,

Rendrering of report produces "Out of memory exception" In new project.

Please try to set the ReportCacheMode property to the "On" for the report.

Thank you.

It's magic - it works! Thank You, Aleksey!

Thank you.

I found one more issue in this thing. If we will have enough data in report, it crashes during export into PDF or XLS format. Do you have some magic for this situation?
PS: at this time we're using Stimulsoft version 2015.1

I have some updates on this situation

1. I'm receiving this problem when I'm running report from my program. Exception occuring on line:
reportCtrl.ExportDocument(StiExportFormat.Pdf, SaveAs);
where reportCtrl is instance of StiReport. This object was used for report processing. This instruction was executed previously:
reportCtrl.Render();

2. If I'm opening template inside my program and showing it with reportCtrl.Show(); -> I can run my report without any problems. When I'm trying to save rendered report into PDF file from StimulSoft designer -> I'm getting exception 'Out of memory'

3. If I'm opening Stimulsoft Designer in standalone mode (not inside my app), I don't have any problems with saving rendered report with same data!

Hello,

Could you send us a sample which reproduces the issue for analysis?

Thank you.

[VaDRo]

Ok, Lech, thank you for your support. I found solution by myself

For guys that will be trying to find solution for the same situation. You should add this code before rendering report from template:

reportCtrl.ReportCacheMode = StiReportCacheMode.On;
StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.AmountOfProcessedPagesForStartGCCollect = 2; // default - 20
StiOptions.Engine.ReportCache.AmountOfQuickAccessPages = 5; // default - 50
