Old Report With MvcDesigner doesn't load

[brianj774]

I have a number of reports for my system, and we've built a hook for a few users to be able to generate new reports or edit old ones with the MvcDesigner.

We also recently switched from an interpreted mode to a pre-compiled mode.

When loading up any of our old reports with the new compiled-mode, all my report elements show up empty(labels, datafields, system functions, etc). If I revert my code to using the older interpreted mode, all goes back to working correctly. All the boxes are PRESENT, they just have no data. If I then save a copy of the report in its current format, and then do I compare against the original template, I find that the only changes are that all the <text> values have been removed, and that the datasource has been modified.

There doesn't appear to be anything in that which would suggest that text only fields would fail (I could see that the dataset ones might have problems).

What can I do to resolve this...?

I gather that its as simple as not being able to use compiled reports with the mvc designer. it needs an MRT file.

Correct?

Hello.

It's forbidden to open compiled report in the Designer. Some expressions are compiled in methods there and so on.

Thank you.

Excellent...Wish I'd thought of that earlier...#feelingSilly
