We are using report.Render() to render the report, and report.Show() to show the report.

public bool WeSaveTheReport;

StiDesigner.LoadingDesigner +=new EventHandler(StiDesigner_LoadingDesigner);
StiDesigner.SavingReport += new EventHandler(StiDesigner_SavingReport);

public void StiDesigner_LoadingDesigner(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      // Ask the user about later saving and store the result in WeSaveTheReport variable.
     StiDesigner.DontAskSaveReport = !WeSaveTheReport;
}

public void StiDesigner_SavingReport(object sender,StiSavingObjectEventArgs e)
{
   //Here the code for saving report, because StiDesigner.DontAskSaveReport does not prevent saving of the modified report.
  
  e.Processed = true;
}

Edward wrote:When the Designer is Loaded for designing a report the static event StiDesigner.LoadingDesigner is fired. But in that case the designer is not visible on screen while the event is occurring. Anyway you can ask the user in that moment is he going to save a report or not after the report will be designed.

Here the code sample of such assignment:

Code: Select all

public bool WeSaveTheReport;

StiDesigner.LoadingDesigner +=new EventHandler(StiDesigner_LoadingDesigner);
StiDesigner.SavingReport += new EventHandler(StiDesigner_SavingReport);

public void StiDesigner_LoadingDesigner(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      // Ask the user about later saving and store the result in WeSaveTheReport variable.
     StiDesigner.DontAskSaveReport = !WeSaveTheReport;
}

public void StiDesigner_SavingReport(object sender,StiSavingObjectEventArgs e)
{
   //Here the code for saving report, because StiDesigner.DontAskSaveReport does not prevent saving of the modified report.
  
  e.Processed = true;
}

Please note that static events should be assigned only once in your application.

Thank you.

   if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to store rendered report", "Form Closing Event", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question,
MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1) == DialogResult.Yes)
  {
     report.SaveDocument("D:\\MyReport.mdc");
     (sender as Form).FormClosing -= new FormClosingEventHandler(myForm_FormClosing);
  }
}

Thank you.
