Charts using Business Objects

[charlvdb]

Hi

My data sources are all Business Objects.

I'm trying to create a chart and I'm unable to do so as dragging the value to the chart ends up turning my mouse into a "no access" or "disabled" icon.

1. Is it possible to use charts with business objects as the datasource?
2. I will be creating dashboards using business objects as well, is this possible too?

Please see attached my MRT

Hello,

Business objects are not supported in dashboards.

Thank you.

Thanks, will add as Dataset and use report.RegData() instead to assign. Will update ticket later

Dashboard and Chart

Hi Lech

Please see my code below, I get a blank page when viewing a dashboard through the StiBlazorViewer. I have added the expected columns as a dataset and was able to build a chart on a dashboard.
I only have a dashboard on the MRT, when adding a databand on a separate page, then there is results for the databand, but dashboard remains blank/empty with the same columns used.

I have a dashboard page with 1 chart on the MRT at the moment. I'm expecting the chart to display, but its always empty when added onto the dashboard. However, it does display when not placed on a dashboard.

Code: Select all

//var report = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();  // I have tried this way as well.
var report = new StiReport();
report.LoadFromString(assembly.ReadResource("POC.mrt"));
report.RegData("PayoutDashboardReportData", payout);
report.Dictionary.Synchronize();
await report.RenderAsync();
 
return report.SaveDocumentToByteArray();

Hello,

In your code, you register data in the empty report, and then render it.

You need to add the Load method for loading the report template.

Thank you.

report.LoadFromString(assembly.ReadResource("POC.mrt")); is being done before registering, updated the initial post.

Hello,

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

Thank you.

Hi Lech

I managed to get it working on one of the sample projects provided by Stimulsoft. I will update the forum thread later should there be anything else.
I suspect it could be an issue on my side with the viewer and how we loading the MRT.
