Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,

I need to merge two report definitions, but I don't seem to be finding any solutions.

I can modify a report and add components to it in runtime with no problem, as long as the components are created.
If I add components of one report to another, I always get an exception upon report compilation.

Here's what I've tried:

1. Using sub-reports, adding a page from one report to the Pages collection of another report, and then setting the sub-report to show the added page.

2. Adding components by iterating through them from one report to another.

3. I tried cloning components instead of adding them directly (using "Clone" method), didn't work either.

I pay attention to set Parent and Page properties of the components correctly.
But all the time, I get a "NullReferenceException" with the following stack trace:

What am I doing wrong?

Hello.

Please send the code or simple test application to support[at]stimulsoft.com for analysis. It is difficult to say something without that.

Thank you.
