Problems with ICollection<MyType> in Report Designer

[chriga]

Hi,

I'm using Business Objects as Data in my report. When I'm adding an ICollection with user defined type (ICollection<MyType>) as column in the Report Designer, I get the following error in Report Checker:

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Invalid token '`' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards,
Chris

Hello.

Thank you.

Hi,
thank you for your reply.

I'm using v2012.3. Unfortunately synchronizing doesn't help. The type that is shown in the designer for that column is (maybe this is important?)

Code: Select all

System.Collections.ICollection'1[MyNamespace.MyType]

For the sake of completeness, I should mention that this is not the only error message. There are 14 error messages after adding that one column. The first message is

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Identifier expected

The second is (appears three times)

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

The previously mentioned error appears three times

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Invalid token '`' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

The following error appears once

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Invalid token '"MyTypes"' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

The following appears twice

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Type or namespace definition, or end-of-file expected

And the last error type appears four times

The error of compilation
The error of compilation is found in the 'Report' report:
Unexpected character '`'

Do you know any other solution for that problem?

Hello,

Please try to use the RegBusinessObject() method for registration your data.

Thank you.

Hi,
when I try to register my data with

Code: Select all

            report.RegBusinessObject("Ent1", new Ent1{MyTypes = myTypes, Desc = new Desc(){Info = "i1"}});

The business Object "Ent1" will created in the report beside the existing DataSource "Ent1". But the columns MyTypes and Desc are missing (see attached screenshot). The error messages still exist.

Hello,

Please try to use the following code:

Code: Select all

report.RegBusinessObject();
report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects(2);

Thank you.

Hi,

there is no RegBusinessObject() method that takes no arguments. Using report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects(2) after the call of RegBusinessObject that I have used, doesn't make a difference.

Hi,
when I call

Code: Select all

            report.RegBusinessObject("Ent1", new Ent1{MyTypes = myTypes, Desc = new Desc(){Info = "i1"}});
            report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects(2);

after loading (report.Load(...)) my report the columns Desc and MyTypes are now in the Business Object. But the error messages are still existing.

Best regards
