Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

hi edward thanks for response

report.MasterReport = masterReport.SaveToString()

in this line MasterReport is not a property or method in StiReport


so what we have to do?

Please tell me as soon as possible

Report inheritance available only in latest prereliase builds of StimulReport.Net. You can get it at http://stimulsoft.com/DownloadsSR.aspx
Thank you.

Just to make sure I understand the way inheritance works in Reports. If I create my concrete reports from a Master report using the sample code below: -

StiReport masterReport = new StiReport();
masterReport.Load("d:\\master-detail.mrt");

StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.RegData(dataSet);

report.MasterReport = masterReport.SaveToString();
report.Design();


My expecation was that if I design my report and after that go make a change to d:\\master-detail.mrt, the changes will be reflected in the concrete report that I designed using above code. Is that an invalid expecation. The way I tested it was by putting a header band in master-detail.mrt, then designing a report using above code and then executing the report after changing the text in header band in master-detail.mrt. My executed report still shows the old text. Note that we are saving the report layout of the concrete report in String form and then reloading it at a later point for execution.

Thanks in advance.
