StiDesigner, where is it?

HI Stimulsoft!
Our old Programmer, Marco, used many versions of StimulReports. After cleaning an reinstalling our Development Machine i had to make the decision to use the new Version (and only this Version) of StimulReports.

Here some Code:
using Stimulsoft.Base;
using Stimulsoft.Report;
using Stimulsoft.Report.Components;
using Stimulsoft.Report.Design;
using Stimulsoft.Report.Print;
...
public WGPReport()
{
StiDesigner.SavingReport += new StiSavingObjectEventHandler(StiDesigner_SavingReport);
}

this is the "old version"... The Compiler tells me, that he can't find "StiDesigner"... I didn't changed the Code... How to solve this problem? I searched with the Object-Browser.... nothing found... there only "IStiDesigner" and so on.
I was really shocked that the layout of your assemblies was reorganized.... This was not the only problem, but i solved the other ones...

greetz,
Jens

Hello,

I think you must add a reference to Stimulsoft.Report.Design.dll (it's a new dll).

Cordially,
Kakone.

Cool

The Stimulsoft.Report.Design.dll wasn't in my install-dir. So i copied the files from SR_2008.06.08_R2005_EngineV2.zip in my install-dir and i had the Stimulsoft.Report.Design.dll. I ran the installer.exe but the installer installed all but except of Stimulsoft.Report.Designer.dll and Stimulsoft.Report.Win.dll. So I tried to install the Dll's manually with the installutil. It didn't work. I set the dll's trusted but at the install of the Design.dll the installer told me, that an dependency is missing. The report.win.dll can't be installed, too, because there is no public installer with RunInstallerAttribute.Yes.

What to do now? Thanks,

Jens

Wait a response from a Stimulsoft member

You can try dragging the dlls to the C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder to register them in the GAC manually.

As for the reorganization of the assemblies, I believe the latest pre-release builds have a new Reporting Engine built into them. In another post it mentioned that the engine is still in beta testing (however I consider all pre-release builds as beta) so you might want to consider using an older pre-release without the new Engine incorporated into the dlls or the Final build of 2008.1

Personnaly, when I add the references to the Stimulsoft dll, I don't use the dll versions into the GAC (in fact, I don't have Stimulsoft librairies into the GAC).
I browse the files, I set Copy Local property to true and Specific Version property to false. So, finally, the Stimulsoft librairies are in the same directory of my application and there is no problem. I don't need to use the installer.

This will be corrected in the next prerelease build.

I set the dll's trusted but at the install of the Design.dll the installer told me, that an dependency is missing. The report.win.dll can't be installed, too, because there is no public installer with RunInstallerAttribute.Yes.

Just drag that assemblies to the Windows Directory\Assemblies as Brendan suggested, it worked.

Thank you.
