Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Background
I am using Reports.Web 2009.3 in ASP.NET 3.5; I was using 2009.1 but upgraded to 2009.3 hoping that would fix the issue but it hasn't. I have a ReportViewer.aspx page which I use to display all the reports in my application.

Unfortunately, the reports were originally developed by an external contractor with whom we no longer have any contact, i.e. we've taken over support of this application and we're not familiar with the Stimulsoft Report.Web tool.

Problem
It doesn't matter what report I view, Page 3 is always blank. Looking at the page source, nothing is being rendered for Page 3. It's not that an extra page is being inserted, as I've checked the content that is expected to be appear on Page 3 and it's just not being rendered.

[Update] I've also just noticed that I'm only ever getting a maximum of 4 pages rendered for all my reports!

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a fix? Is there anything I can try to diagnose this issue?

Kind regards,

Phil

I've fixed the issue! Hurrah!

I created a completely blank report from scratch using one of the wizards and that worked fine. Comparing my new report to the faulty ones I eventually noticed that my faulty reports were using EngineV1, compared to EngineV2 in my new report - view the Properties of the Report, and it's under "Engine Version". Changing this setting in my faulty reports appears to have fixed the issue!

As a follow-up, could someone tell me what the difference is between EngineV1 and EngineV2. Will changing this setting be likely to break something in my reports?

Thanks,

Phil

Hello Phil,

EngineV2 - it a second generation of report engine. It more quickly, more flexibility, more stability. If your old reports don't work at EngineV1 or work incorectly you can switch it to EngineV1. If it work fine you can continue use EngiveV1. You can use EngineV2 for all new reports. EngineV2 is not compatible with EngineV1 on 100%.

Thank you.

Hi every body.
I sea allmost all topic in forum and seem int all of them posit that we know what is our tables and columns in dataset of our reportbut allways not thus
1-sometime we may want to edit the report in webdesigner that we dont know any thing about its data set but we sure it works with our data base , so befor call the design() function we pass what data set to our report via regdata(//what_dataset) ??
2- or we may want to set full access to data base to one user to create the every report that need to design well we pass a full data base to designer dictionary and he/she design every report by every columns in every tables or viwes in database and save it , in viwe report mode namely after load our report and we want to pass it to stiwebviewer we pass what data set to it since we cant pass all data base to our report ??!
