Understanding RegBusinessObject

[Tobias]

Hi!

Lets say I have a simple invoice:

Code: Select all

public class Invoice
{
    public string ReceiptNumber { get; set; }
    public DateTime Time { get; set; }
    public CustomerData Customer { get; set; }
    public EmployeeData Employee { get; set; }
    public IList Items { get; set; }
    public IList VatTotals { get; set; }
    public IList Payments { get; set; }
}

If I do:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Dictionary.BusinessObjects.MaxLevel = 100;
_stiReport.RegBusinessObject("Invoice", "Invoice", _invoice);

... I only see the ReceiptNumber and Time property in the designer - no Items list and no nested CustomerData.
So should I use RegData() instead, getting "ugly" databands? As far as I understood from another thread,
RegBusinessObject would also not give me sortable data bands.

So I was wandering, what RegBusinessObject should be used for.

Thx! So there's no way to do this in code? And lists in my business object are not sortable/filterable?

Hello,

You can do this from code with help of SynchronizeBusinessObjects(int maxLevel) method of report dictionary. This method available in latest prerelease builds of our product.

> And lists in my business object are not sortable/filterable?

At this moment this features is not available.

Thank you.
