Hello.

Where I can find a list of supported data types in reports.
Currently I am trying to create a custom function with a dictionary argument (.net core, dictionary<string, string>) but in designer it appears with parameter type object instead of dictionary<string, string>.

Could you please provide me a simple example how I can operate with dictionary data type in reports?

Hello,

Please try to register it as business objects:
report.RegBusinessObject(object);
report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects();

Thank you.

I see from reflection information that the "object" has an underlying type of StiBusinessObject. So what I've done is declare an input parameter of the same type and then a simple cast of parameter's BusinessObjectValue property:
Was (dictionary displayed as "object" in designer):

Code: Select all

public static string GetDictionaryValue(IDictionary<string, string> fields, string key)
{
       	???
}

Changed to:

Code: Select all

public static string GetDictionaryValue(StiReportNS.Dictionary.StiBusinessObject fields, string key)
{
       	var dictionary = fields.BusinessObjectValue as IDictionary<string, string>;
	...
	var value = dictionary[key];
	...
}

Thanks.
