Hello Team,

I have a report generated from the designer . I am saving it as a blob in Silverlight client. Then I am passing that to server (.net)to load that blob into another instance of report, at the time of loading I am getting an exception as below. I tried searching for StiMarginsTypeConverter but have not got any results. we are using
stimulsoft report 2014.3.0.0. Please help!

Silverlight 5.1.50901.0,

var Blob =generatedReport.SaveToByteArray(); // in silverlight
var report = new StiReport(); // in dotNet
report.Load(Blob); // in dotNet

Exception:

Hello,

Please send us a sample project which reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

The issue is not consistently reproducible.
But based on the stack trace it seems something related to margin and its value is passed as null.
I will still try to create a sample project and comeback to you...

Thanks

Hello.

Do you use the same versions of our product for Silverlight and .Net?
There could be changes in the file format.

Thank you.

Ohh good point actually the Server has 2015.3.0.0 version and Client has 2016.1.19.0 version.
Do you think this could be the issue and should i make them same as 2016.1.19.0?

Hello.

Yes, exactly. we are trying to keep compatibility with reports created in old versions of our product.
But we don't guarantee that the reports created in the newer version will be opened by older product.

Thank you.

Thank you so much HighAley!!! just one more thing to ask for, could please route me to an appropriate link that will take me to .NET Stimulsoft Server Report dlls which are compatible with Silverlight version 2016.1.19.0?
