This new prerelease build contains new version of the report engine which is now in beta-testing stage as well as the current version which was available until today.
As this is just a beta version, full list of changes will be available a bit later. Build also contains old version of the report engine and that is why all reports created in previous versions of the Stimulsoft Reports.Net will work in the same environment, we believe that it will be without any surprises, but it is still a beta version.
Thank you.

Edward, does the v2 engine load the current reports or do we need to rebuild or convert our reports to run on v2?
I am thinking long term here, not right now.

There is no need of converting of the existing reports. Report engine loads all reports in new and in old format automatically.
Version of the report engine is being detected automatically when the report is being loaded into Designer.
Report object in the Designer has property EngineVersion. This property allows you to enable new features of the EngineV2. Format of the report will be changed automatically after saving it and when it is being loaded next time, it contains information about engine version inside of the report.
Thank you.

I've updated with new dlls 08/06/08 Engine V2. This code throws the error "Cannot find the method 'Stimulsoft.Report.Engine.StiEngineVersion Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.get_EngineVersion()'.":
Code: Select all
Dim rpt As New Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport
MessageBox.Show(rpt.EngineVersion.ToString)

How do i set that an existing report is now in engine v2? In designer i don't see anything that could change engine. I could do this in code:
Code: Select all
rpt.EngineVersion = Stimulsoft.Report.Engine.StiEngineVersion.EngineV2
But i thought it was automatic.

Hello, Fabio.
Yes, the Designer has an option for this.
Click in any place outside the page in the Designer. There is the Report object will be selected in the Property Editor.
Report has this property available for changing.
If you want to move to the EngineV2 than you must set this property in the Designer, otherwise your report would work as before with EngineV1.
Thank you.
