Combining reports dynamically - print blanks the report

We are working on a complex Letters solution, which is supposed to combine Compiled Template's during processing, to create a single Report for the user.
We plan to allow straight through printing, PDF generation, Previewing, and minor editing.
We are having trouble with the Preview. When I try the 'Print' button from the preview, the combined Report disappears, and we are left with a blank report.
We are using 2013.2.1700.0
Attached is a cut down sample of our project in C# WinForms .Net 4.

Updated to latest version of Stimulsoft.
Retested issue. The bug still exists.
Pressing the 'print' button causes Report to disappear.
I have attached a video (animated GIF) of the issue.

Hello.
You should add two lines of code to your project:
Code: Select all
newreport = new StiReport();
newreport.ReportCacheMode = StiReportCacheMode.On;
newreport.ReportCachePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "StimulsoftReportsCache");
newreport.RenderedPages.CanUseCacheMode = true;
newreport.RenderedPages.CacheMode = true;
newreport.RenderedPages.Clear();
newreport.NeedsCompiling = false; // add
newreport.IsRendered = true; // add
Without this properties the report is compiled and rendered again. In your case this is the empty report.
Thank you.

Sorry, I have one additional question with this code.
How do I get the "Edit Page" button to appear?
I've been trying what was suggested in here, but to no avail.
http://forum.stimulsoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36868
I already have:
report.PreviewSettings = (int)StiPreviewSettings.All;
And I have tried the following in the Form Load event.
StiOptions.Viewer.Windows.ShowPageDesignButton = true;
Has this feature been removed?

I've just tried the Build Stimulsoft Reports.Ultimate 2013.12.30 [2014.1.1803.0]
I still cannot get the "Edit Page" button to appear.
