Hello,

Sorry, maybe we did not exactly understand your question. Could you explain your task in more details?

Thank you.

hi,

we are executing a datatable using our existing database connection in our solution. something like

DataTable demo = new DataTable();
demo = repository.GetDataTable();

and then we want to design report using that datatabel. example

var report: StiReport = new StiReport();
report.regData(demo);
report.dictionary.synchronize();
report.design();

and once we have save this report in the server.will it execute report later on? without binding datatable again to the report.

is there a sample for this ?

tnx

Hello,

You can describe on the save report event and save report in the database as string (report.SaveToString()) or array of byte (report.SaveToByteArray()).
And then load report from the database.

Thank you.

No i have already saved the report. overriding the report designers save event.
My question was, i am saving lot of reports in to the database.and users running them by retrieving from database. all the reports has designed using regdata(datatable) code.(as i have mentioned above).
when users running the report there is no data.
do we have to set the datatable again ? using regdata command ? once we retrieve them from database and running?

hope u have got my question clearly

Hello,

Yes, if you use RegData(datatable) method, then you can use it again when load report from your database.

Thank you.
