Runtime Error : The type 'Reports.Report' already contains a definition for 'ParentEntity'

I created a MRT (see below in Code Section) using a dictionary generated from XML (see below in Code Section). I noticed it had two Relations named ParentEntity so I modified the following:
Changed in the designer:
public Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiDataRelation ParentEntity;
to
public Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiDataRelation ParentEntity1;
and
public Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiDataRelation ParentEntity;
to
public Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiDataRelation ParentEntity2;
In the report design I now do not have a conflict of names but …. when I attempt run the report during runtime though our application and I get the following error message:
The type 'Reports.Report' already contains a definition for 'ParentEntity'.
I thought this issue was fixed …. See related issue:
Stimulsoft Forum » Stimulsoft Reports product line » Stimulsoft Reports.Net » Issue with word "Parent" ... compile error (already contains a definition)
Can you please verify if this is still a bug or what can I do to fix it without changing the XML sent at runtime?
XML is attached
MRT is Attached

Hello,
We couldn't reproduce this bug. Could you send us a step-by-step guide how to reproduce the issue?
Thank you.

Hello Aleksey,
It would take time to extract how we compile and run it but in general
We compile and run the report within a Windows Environment with the application being Winforms coded in C#?
How did you check the see if it worked or not ?
Below is one path we have in the code to compile and run which has the problem
Code: Select all
.....
using (StiReport report = new StiReport())
{
try
{
report.Load(reportFile);
report.DataSources.Clear();
report.Dictionary.Databases.Clear();
report.Dictionary.ImportXMLSchema(data);
report.RegData(data);
Stimulsoft.Report.Export.StiPdfExportSettings settings = new Stimulsoft.Report.Export.StiPdfExportSettings();
settings.Compressed = true;
settings.EmbeddedFonts = false;
report.Render(false); // Exception occurs when executing this line
.....
.....
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
.....
}
}
Note
- MRT is in the reportFile string
- data is a System.Data.DataSet built from the XML
- catch catches the error when executing : report.Render(false);

Hello,
When you create relations names of the the following construction are assigned to them
"Parent" + "TableName (parent DataSource)"
in your case, a table has a prefixed "Parent" because of what it turns that there are 2 items with the same names. To solve this problem, you can rename your relation:
ParentEntity1 and ParentEntity2.
Thank you.

Thanks Aleksev,
I believe I understand what the problem is but need to know how to fix it under the following circumstances:
( 1 ) I cannot modify the XML as it is used elsewhere and the dataset is dynamically generated from the XML
( 2 ) If I just modify the MRT (renamed the relation) in the designer it works OK only in the designer but NOT when run in our windows application. I think code is regenerated within the MRT at runtime.
Questions:
( A ) Given these options is it still possible to rename the relation ..... if so how ?
( B ) Shouldn't Stimulsoft generate an appropriate name that is unique as I am only supplying the data, stimulsoft is creating the relations ? (i.e. it should not matter what names are used in the data) ?
thanks
