Big Problem with Report.Show

[EDV Gradl]

When I do this:

Stimulreport MyReport = new Stimulreport();
// Somehow load and compile the report
MyReport.Show(true);
MyReport.Show(true);

The first time the report is show as a dialog windows, the second time nothing happens.

Could you please correct this?

Thanks, Marco!

We can't reproduce this problem. Can you create small test application for us?

Thank you.

[EDV Gradl]

Vital, your are right. The problem is a bit different.

Try this code:

StiReport MyReport = new StiReport();
MyReport.LoadDocument("File1.mdc");
MyReport.Show(true);
MyReport.LoadDocument("File2.mdc");
MyReport.Show(true);

Only the first report is shown, the second ignored.

The application is on its way.

I had the same problem. I don't know if it's the best answer but I call MyReport.ResetRenderedState() method before the Show method and it works.

Thanks for the tip, but it does not work for my. The second report is still not shown. I already tried the build from today - same result.

Problem fixed.
Thank you.

Problem fixed. New problem.

When I first load a report

I use

MyReport.Compile(Stream),

thus saving the complied report in a stream

When printing again, I load the report from the stream
with GetReportFromAssembly , thus saving the compile time.


Now when I use the compiled report from the stream and set a variable like

MyReport["MyVar"] = 100

the variable is not set at all.

It only works the first time. Seems to be the same problem I reported earlier with IsVariableExist

It worked till yesterday.

Thanks for the help

Our error. Solved.

Thank you for your bug report.

Just to be on the safe side. This does not work as well:

StiReport MyReport = new Stireport();
MyReport.Load(@"C:\Myreport.mdc");
MyReport.Compile();
MyReport["MyVar"] = 1; // Value is set
MyReport.Render(false);
MyReport.Show(true);
MyReport["MyVar"] = 2 // Valus is not set

Would be nice, if this could work in the build from today, because my customer become kind of angry.

Please use the following code to initialize variable MyVar in the Compiled report.

Code: Select all

StiReport MyReport = new Stireport();
MyReport.Load(@"C:\Myreport.mrt");
..
MyReport.RegData(...);
..
MyReport.Compile();
MyReport.CompiledReport["MyVar"] = 1; 
MyReport.Render(false);
MyReport.Show(true);
MyReport.CompiledReport["MyVar"] = 2;
MyReport.Render(false);
MyReport.Show(true);

In the build from May, 17 your code will work as

Code: Select all

MyReport["MyVar"] = 2; 

correctly.

Thank you.
