Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

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.

The problem is confirmed.

We will inform you when the fix will be available.

Thank you.

Please check the latest build.
If the problem still exists, please use the childreport.UpdateInheritedReport method before rendering.

Thank you.
