Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hey all,

I am trying to use silverlight viewer in client side in order to view a sample report. I followed this tutorial (http://www.stimulsoft.com/livedemos.SL/ ... light.html) and everything works fine. But when i tried to load mrt file using open file dialog, then convert it to byte[] and use "report.load", it doesn't work. I am using business object as data source, but viewer show nothing when i load mrt from outside.

Any ideas please ?

Regards,
Jalal

Hello Jatal,

Please show your code.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.

My code :

var ofd = new OpenFileDialog { Filter = "mrt Files (*.mrt)|*.mrt", Multiselect = false };
if (!((bool)ofd.ShowDialog())) return;


using (FileStream s = ofd.File.OpenRead())
{
mrtDataByte = new byte[s.Length];
s.Read(mrtDataByte, 0, Convert.ToInt32(s.Length));

}

StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load(mrtDataByte);
report.RegBusinessObject("Category1", "Invoice", new invoice() { invoiceNumber = "123", Title = "invoice title" });
report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects();
report.Render();
report.Show();

----> Nothing appeared when i use this code. But if I use report.Design() , then i can see the report ( preview doesn't work in designer since i read that Stimulsoft still working on )

Same problem for me, the viewer shows always a blank page.

Hello,

Unfortunately Silverlight does not support compilation in runtime. We use compilation for create report class in our report engine. This is why sample which provided use reports as source code. But we have on final stage of testing interpretator which will be used in silverlight version of our product. In this case report engine can render report without compilation. Interpretation mode will be available in few weeks.

Thank you.

Bad news...

I think I will wait a moment before using Reports.Silverlight product...
I let you work hard on it :biggrin:

Cordially,
Kakone.

Hello,

On Tuesday the prerelease build will be live. You will be able to download the .mrt file containing the data based on business objects. Also Preview will work in the designer.

Thank you.

Thanks Jan and Aleksey,

Now it works well. I can load mrt file and see it in designer. Moreover i can use viewer to see my rendered report.

Great Job.
