Hi, again.

I am trying to bind to the Report property of an StiSLViewerControl in XAML but it appears that the Report property is not a dependency property.
I'm using MVVM Light to implement my code in the MVVM pattern.

Reports.Ultimate 2011.1 (in the GAC with no other versions)
Silverlight 4

The Exception:

Message=Set property 'Stimulsoft.Report.Viewer.StiSLViewerControl.Report' threw an exception.
Message=Object of type 'System.Windows.Data.Binding' cannot be converted to type 'Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport'.

The Bound Property (in my ViewModel):

Code: Select all

public const string ReportViewPropertyName = "ReportView";
private StiReport _reportView = new StiReport();
public StiReport ReportView
{
    get { return _reportView; }
    set
    {
        if (_reportView == value)
            return;

        _reportView = value;
        RaisePropertyChanged(ReportViewPropertyName);
    }
}

void proxy_GetReportStatisticsCompleted(object sender, GetReportStatisticsCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    StiReport report = new StiReport();
    report.LoadDocument(e.Result);   // e.Result is a byte[ ]

    this.ReportView = report;
}

The XAML (in my View):

The View's DataContext is set to my ViewModel class.

Code: Select all

Thanks,
Scott

Hello,

Now the Report property is not DependencyProperty. In a week or two we will do some improvements in this direction.

Thank you.

Hi Andrew,

Any update on when this problem will be solved?

I'm evaluating the 2011.2 versions of Reports and Reports.Designer for Silverlight and I also get the same results as Scott.

regards Richard
