Design report without dialog form - Image lost

[xss]

Dear sirs,

a few weeks ago we updated to 2014.1.1900 Framework Version 4. Now a strange thing happens. If we design a report without setting dialogForm to true, an embedded image gets lost. I made a sample application to demonstrate this behavior.

Thank you.

Oh dear...I'm sorry, we found the problem. In our code the report was disposed after calling .Design(). So with the dialogForm = true the code execution stopped.

Code: Select all

using (Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport())
{
report.Load(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Demo.mrt"));
report.RegData(GetDemoData());
report.Dictionary.Synchronize();
report.Dictionary.SortItems(Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiSortOrder.Asc);
report.Design(dialogForm);
}

The final question. At which point should we dispose the designed report?

Thank you,
Xss

Hello,

When you do not use report you can dispose it.

Thank you.
