Compile report in Asp.Net Mvc Core

[alireza_s_84]

Hi
We use below code to compile report at runtime:

Code: Select all

report = new StiReport();
var data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Reports/WeaponStatus.mrt"));
report.Load(data);
report.ReferencedAssemblies = new List<string>(report.ReferencedAssemblies)
    .Where(x => !x.Equals("System.Windows.Forms.Dll"))
    .ToArray();

report.Script = report.Script.Replace("using System.Windows.Forms;", "");
Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
report.Compile(compiledReportFile);

but at last line when call report.Compile get this exception:

System.NotSupportedException

Hello,

The compilation is not supported in the NET Core version.

Thank you.

[keivan]

When do you add this feature ???

[Lech Kulikowski]

Hello,

There is the task in our to-do list, but I can not say when it will be added.

Thank you.

[Ryan Robar]

Can you give an update on when the ability to compile reports will be available in .Net Core?

[Lech Kulikowski]

Hello,

Unfortunately, we can not say when it will be implemented.

Thank you.

[Ryan Robar]

I see that your latest releases have added support for .Net Core 3.0. Does that include support for compiling reports?

[Andrew]

Hello,

No, it does not contain the compiling.

Thank you.

[Ryan Robar]

Is there any plan to add this feature to .Net Core in the future? If so, when? We would like to use Stimulsoft Reports as a replacement for our existing reporting solution, but I think it might be too difficult to do without the ability to compile code into the report.
It's especially frustrating because using your tools to convert our existing reports into Stimulsoft generates C# code in the report which I then have to find ways to remove so we can actually use it.
