Hi Jay,

Please pass variables as follows:

Dim report As StiReport = StiReport3.GetReport()
report.Compile()
report("cmpName") = "Variable Value"

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanx for ur reply Mr Edward.

My report name is rptDailyClaim.mrt, in that i have cross tab, variables.

I use the below code
Dim report As StiReport = StiReport3.GetReport()
report.Compile()
report("cmpName") = "Variable Value"

I have a StiReport component in form and designed the report and saved it as a template rptDailyClaim.mrt.
But the above code generating a new report and didnt load the report rptDailyClaim and also the line report("cmpName") = "Variable Value" throws error like variable not exists

Thanx
Jay

May be you skip Load method?

Thank you.

Hello Jan,

Actually in crystal report, from EXE i can directly run the report without paste it in the deployment path.

Is it possible to do the same with Stimulsoft, because it will be easy to deploy at client's place.

Thank u
Jay

Hi Jay,

If the report did not exist this means that you had to add this variable into Dictionary during design time or the report template was not loaded correctly.

Also there is an ability to make an exe file from the code of your application. For this you can use Compile() method of the StiReport class:

report.Compile("D:\MyReport.exe", Stimulsoft.Base.StiOutputType.WindowsApplication)

Thank you.

I have wrote the code as like

report.Compile("D:\MyReport.exe", Stimulsoft.Base.StiOutputType.StiOutputType.WindowsApplication)

It throws error like Can't open folder for writing.

Please tell whether it is possible or not to run the report from EXE without paste the report in deployment path.

Thank u
Jay
