Few problems

Post by Stéphane »

Hello,

I'm trying this new interesting product. I encountered a few problems (for the moment, I didn't succeed in to preview my own report - a simple report with a TitleHeaderBand and no data :angry: ).

Some problems encountered with the designer :
- The preview doesn't seem to work in the designer (you can try it in your demo).
- I couldn't see my dataSources in the dictionary window (I do a RegData, then a Dictionary.Synchronize but I don't see anything. Apparently, there is the same problem in your demo).
- When you open a context menu, you can't close it (to close it, you must choose a menu item).
- Sometimes (and I don't know why), Silverlight ask me to access to my clipboard (I didn't copy anything !).
- Some crashes... (NullReferenceException not catched).
- One time, the left toolbar disappeared (I couldn't reproduce this problem).

Although I like the Stimulsoft products, I must say it looks like a beta version for the moment....

Hello,

Thank you for your opinion. As i understand you have check Silverlight only version. I agree that we need some additional time to make it more fine, but task is very complex.

Some problems encountered with the designer :
- The preview doesn't seem to work in the designer (you can try it in your demo).
Its correct. Version with preview will be available in one month.
- I couldn't see my dataSources in the dictionary window (I do a RegData, then a Dictionary.Synchronize but I don't see anything. Apparently, there is the same problem in your demo).
You need use business objects in Silverlight only version. At this moment RegData methods presents, but we plan hide it in future, because we can't provide fully cleared way to use it. You can check following video sample:

- When you open a context menu, you can't close it (to close it, you must choose a menu item).
Knowed problem. Patch will be available in two weeks.
- Sometimes (and I don't know why), Silverlight ask me to access to my clipboard (I didn't copy anything !).
Clipboard operations required security settings. You don't use it, but report designer check content of it. This is why Silverlight show this exceptions.
- Some crashes... (NullReferenceException not catched).
Please if possible post full error stack for this problem. We will fix it shortly.
- One time, the left toolbar disappeared (I couldn't reproduce this problem).
Knowed problem. Will be fixed shortly.

Thank you.
