Hi,
I'd like to know how to replace business objects in EXISTING report.
The situation is like this: we sometimes customize business objects for our clients (add properties), but once the report is created users don't see subsequent customizations.

This is what i do after i load existing report in the designer:
foreach ( var businessObject in businessObjects )
{
stiDesigner.Report.RegBusinessObject(businessObject.Name, businessObject);
}
stiDesigner.Report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects(10);

The business objects i register are the new ones, but this doesn't change anything in the designer and i still see the old business objects there, the ones that were used when the report was first created.


Thanks,
Oleg.

Hello Oleg,

You need apply your code before loading report in report designer.

Thank you.

Thanks Jan,
But i cannot do that.
Because before i load the report in report designer the stiDesigner.Report property is still null and thus my code will fail.

Hello,

In this case please call following method after updating report dictionary:
Thank you.
