Sending email with specified export type and EmailExport.ShowDialog()

Tasos Savva

I have the following code

Config.ReportSettings.ShowProgress = false; 
FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport pdf = new FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport(); 
FastReport.Export.Email.EmailExport email = new FastReport.Export.Email.EmailExport(); 

email.Account.AllowUI = true; 
email.Account.Name = "CompanyName"; 

pdf.AllowModify = false; 
pdf.Compressed = true; 
pdf.EmbeddingFonts = false; 
pdf.Background = false; 
pdf.GradientQuality = FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport.GradientQualityEnum.Low; 
pdf.JpegCompression = true; 
pdf.JpegQuality = 80; 
pdf.PrintOptimized = false; 
pdf.Name = "pdf"; 

email.Export = pdf; 
if (email.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
       email.SendEmail(Report);

I've noticed after several tries that setting

email.Export = pdf

does not have any effect after calling

email.ShowDialog()

Does anyone knows how can I keep the settings that I pass to pdf as the default and let the user change them if needed?

Thanks

using (FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report())
{
    report.Load("");
    report.RegisterData(dataSet);
    report.Prepare();
    using (FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport pdf = new FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport())
    {
        FastReport.Export.Email.EmailExport email = new FastReport.Export.Email.EmailExport();
        email.Account.AllowUI = true;
        email.Account.Address = "sender";
        email.Account.UserName = "";
        email.Account.Password = "";
        email.Account.EnableSSL = true;
        email.Account.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        email.Account.Port = 587;
        email.Subject = "";
        email.MessageBody = "";
        email.Address = "recipient";
        email.Export = pdf;
        if (email.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            email.SendEmail(report);
    }
}

Hello, this will do the same thing, you have just rewrite the code using using.

I need to set pdf properties before calling email.ShowDialog() and use those settings.

just copied my working code.
then you have two options:
1.upgrade to the latest version
2.create your own code, export pdf to stream, email with System.Net.Mail library

I have the latest version. Anyway, the solution came from Anatoly Kukuyuk.

The solution is to show the PDF export settings window:

pdf.ShowDialog();
