I've read in developer FAQ this :

How to use custom assemblies in a report?

Make sure the window of properties is visible and selected (press F4 once or twice or select in menu “View” -> “Properties”). In the window of properties select top item in combo box (for example “MyReport: Report”), there will be “Referenced Assemblies“ property, click […] button to edit its value. Add your assemblies and click [OK] button. Now you could use functions from custom assemblies in reports code – in report objects events handlers and etc.

I did the same as above, but I get this error :

[Exception Info]
Message: Referenced assembly 'HijriClass.Dll' not found

Source: Stimulsoft.Report

StackTrace:
at Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.GetReferencedAssemblies()
at Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.Compile(String path, Stream stream, StiOutputType outputType, Boolean autoCreate, Object standaloneReportType)
at Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.Compile()
at Stimulsoft.Report.Design.Controls.StiDesignerPreviewControl.btRefresh_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

----------------------------
[Assemblies]
mscorlib, Version = 2.0.0.0
Stimulsoft.Base, Version = 2009.2.456.0
Stimulsoft.Report, Version = 2009.2.456.0
Stimulsoft.Report.Design, Version = 2009.2.456.0
System.Windows.Forms, Version = 2.0.0.0

I think this subject should be explained in more details (like what path to put dll files, how to use the custom functions...) as there are no enough informatio about this subject.

Thank you in advance....

Hi

We are working on improving of the documentation.

Please place a dll library in the same folder where Stimulsoft libraries reside.

Thank you.
