SaveToByteArray differs

[xss]

hi guys,

i just discovered a small inconsistency. i load a report template (.mrt) from a file. now when i call SaveToByteArray() it gives me an byte array with 22767 bytes at 1st call. at 2nd call - u can make it just one statement after - i get an byte array with 22663 bytes?

thanks in advance.

greets xss

Hi

Please show your code and let us know the version of the report engine you used.

Thank you.

[xss]

once again i forgot to post the version. it's 2009.3.600.0

Code: Select all

using (Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport())
{
string filePath = @"D:\Report.mrt";
report.Load(filePath);
byte[] reportData = report.SaveToByteArray(); // here i get 22700 bytes for example
reportData = report.SaveToByteArray(); // and here 22650
}

additionally i set this global statics:

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Dictionary.UseNullableDateTime = true;
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Dictionary.UseNullableTimeSpan = true;
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Designer.SaveReportWhenDontAskSaveReport = false;
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Configuration.SearchLocalizationFromRegistry = false;
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Dictionary.AutoSynchronize = Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiAutoSynchronizeMode.None;
Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Engine.DefaultEngineVersion = Stimulsoft.Report.Engine.StiEngineVersion.EngineV2;
Stimulsoft.Report.Print.StiPrintProvider.UseEXDialog = true;

and some user defined funtions.

best regards

Hi

The difference is in ReportFile property.
This property keeps the last path was used for saving or loading report.
When you write or load report from stream, that property is set to null, because the stream can not be connected with a file.

Thank you.
