Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I´m using the controls StiPreviewControl, StiDesignerControl and StiReport in my VB.net 2008 project !

How can I prevent all these controls from loading and saving configuration settings ?
I´ll load and save the settings in my own configuration file and set them by code ...

Currently I use StiOptions.Designer.DontXXX = true ( 4 properties ) but still a file Stimulsoft.Report.settings is generated !?

Hello, Tobi.

But this file contains a lot of other settings and these settings are necessary for work of different parts of visual elements and other settings which could be changed by the end user or from the application.

Thank you.

Is the Stimulsoft.Report.settings file generated from the designer control ?
Currently I´ll limit functionality from designer very much and settings should be handled from
main application...

So is there any change to prevent creation of this file ?

Thank you very much

Hello, Tobi.

Please take a look at 'DesignerManagement' sample application from the standard installation of Stimulsoft Reports.Net. Stimulsoft.Report.settings file will be generated automatically in any case.

Which properties you would like to reset each time the DesignerControl is loaded?

Thank you.
