Hello,

I'd like to copy the component:

StiReport report;
// [...]
StiComponent originalComponent = report.GetComponentByName("A");
StiComponent newComponent = (StiComponent)originalComponent.Clone(true);
component.Parent.Components.Add(component);

Is there a better (safer, faster...) way than above one?

Hello,

Its a correct code, but you need assign to component new name if you want compile report with cloned components in future.

Thank you.

Thanks.
And once more question: in what conditions StiComponent.Clone(true) can return a null value?

Hello,

This method should nor return null value in any cases.

Thank you.
