Hi Team from Stimulsoft,

I don't understand the difference between

StiReport MyReport = StiReport.GetReportFromAssembly("MFile.dll");

and

StiReport MyReport = StiReport.GetReportFromAssembly("MFile.dll", true);


Could you please explain?

Thanks, Marco

In this case when we load report from assembly for 100 times then the file "MFile.dll" will be loaded exactly 100 times in memory. The file "MFile.dll" could be deleted after that because it wasn't locked.

Calling this method results in locking of the file "MFile.dll" but it will be loaded in memory only once even if the loading procedure is called many times. After that the file cannot be deleted until the Application domen is loaded in memory. Only after releasing the domen from memory the file "MFile.dll" could be deleted.

Thank you.
