VistaDB Connection

Stark

Hi ,Have a good day ...

I want to connect Fast report to VistaDB .... ?

and I have two problems :

1 - I can't see the DataSource Of VistaDB , if I use the Smart tag of report1 in my VS IDE ....
but the Designer.exe .... work fine with it ( it's work as expected )


2 - I can't Understand this line of code :

FastReport.Utils.RegisteredObjects.AddConnection(typeof(VistaDBDataConnection));

What do you mean by VistaDBDataConnection is it VistaDB.Provider.VistaDBConnection ?

THINGS you need to know :
- I didn't install Fastreport on my mahcine from the msi file , I added fastreport.dll manually ... to VS toolbox
- I added the Fastreport.VistaDB.dll to my project references ....
- I deleted the fastreport.config , plus restart my VS .NET IDE about a 15 times ....


any help would be very appreciated

Kind regards ....

Hello,

1) if you want to work with VistaDB in VS design-time, you need to add the connector to the designer plugins, as described in the readme.txt:

wrote:

1) register using the FastReport IDE
- open the report designer;
- go "View|Options..." menu;
- on the "Plugins" tab, add the FastReport.VistaDB.dll;
- restart FastReport. If you are working in the Visual Studio IDE, restart
it as well;

2) no it's FastReport.Data.VistaDBDataConnection

Thank you for your Quick replay ....

I added the plug in and restart the VS IDE , and the Report , (at the first time)

but still no luck , I can design my report and VistaDB connection from designer.exe ...

but not from VS IDE ....



But I can deal with this ....
I desing my report at designer.exe and save it . .
Then I added the saved report to my project as resource string manually ...
then I call report1.loadfromstring (....)

I just wanted to tell that .... thats all ....

no need to bother your self , if it's work ok with you ...

I am fine ...

Thank you , so mcuh
