Method : [FormatError] Input string was not in a correct format.

Hi,

While rendering a page of my report in the standalone designer (page 321 in this case) I get the following error message:

Method : [FormatError]
Input string was not in a correct format.

Are there any tips how to debug this please? Considering that it only appears after a few hundred pages it doesn't seem so easy to track down.

Thanks a lot,
Patrick

Hello, Patrick.

This error is connected in the most cases with a Formating procedure. Did you use a custom format strings?

Please check it.

If still no luck, please send test project to support[at]stimulsoft.com, we will try to help you with it.

Thank you.

Hi,

Ok I got the stack trace and it looks like a faulty image or a null image caused the exception as I use images from the database:
at Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiImage.GetImageFromDataColumn()
at Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiImage.GetImageFromSource()

This shouldn't really cause the report to stop printing though but it should rather skip the faulty image and continue. This happens in V1 & V2 by the way

Thanks,
Patrick
