Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,

We are evaluating your product and got a few questions:

1. Is ist possible to to edit the genereated code in the designer? For example we are using a custom datetime format which we want to format at runtime.
We tried to format it in the ...._GetValue Method but this will be overwritten every time we save the report.

2. When I install the Stimulsoft Reports.NET on my develope PC to include in a application, do I have to install it on every client PC which runs my application (which includes the Reports.NET)?

3. When I click on "Run Query Builder" I get an error (in German language) that there are no ressources for the actual culture or the default culture. I tried with UI language German and English.

Thanks for your reply!

Best regards from Switzerland,
Chris

Hi!


1) You can only edit the source code when you use it in Visual Studio, but youl could use your own custom assembly and use the methods of this assemby in your events (or actually in your whole report).

2) Yes, like all .net asemblies you have to deploy them on the client PC, either in the program directory or in the GAC.

3) I don't know that. Sorry.

Hello,

You can't edit autogenerated code. In this case you need use TextFormat function or use formating directly in expression. For example:

{mydatasource.mycolumn.ToString("MM/YYYY")}

2. When I install the Stimulsoft Reports.NET on my develope PC to include in a application, do I have to install it on every client PC which runs my application (which includes the Reports.NET)?

You need copy Stimulsoft Reports assemblies together with assemblies of your project. Nothing more.

3. When I click on "Run Query Builder" I get an error (in German language) that there are no ressources for the actual culture or the default culture. I tried with UI language German and English.

This is error of 2008.1 release. Please rewodnload it from our website.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response - then all our questions are answered (and the query builder works)!
