Thank You

For partial trust mode you need doing following steps:
1. Set the static property StiOptions.Engine.FullTrust to false
2. You must use your report only as C# of VB class.
3. Get the last build of StimulReport

In partial trust mode the print to pdf and saving to pdf is not accessible, because pdf require a full trust mode(export call a much WinAPI functions)

Thank you.

I already set StiOptions.Engine.FullTrust to false in page load event.
I use the report as C# class file.
I use StimulReport.Net 2007.08.13 D2005 version.

The report is working fine when it contains data alone. But when using graph or image inside the report, it throws the following error.

The path is not of a legal form

In stimulsoft report where did u write the generated graph image? is this problem related to the path of the image? The path has any special characters?

My Code

StiReport report = new Report(); // Report class file
StiWebViewer1.Report = report;


Thanks

Please send *.cs file of your report to for analysis.

Thank you.

I have the same problem with stimul report in web application. This error occur while rendering report, that contains rotated text. If I export it to pdf file it work correctly. What should I do with rotated text in html page?

[Vital]

This problem occurs in version 2007.3 or earlier? Some time ago we have this problem, but it have been fixed.

Thank you.
