Export PDF with VB.net

Johnxp

Hi,

I try to run this code in VB.net 2005

Dim export As FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport = New FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport()
report1.Export(export, "storeTransaction_")

It gives me error Object reference set to null!!

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

Did you prepared the report first?

report1.Prepare()
Dim export As FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport = New FastReport.Export.Pdf.PDFExport()
report1.Export(export, "storeTransaction_")

Thank you, Yes, it's working now after adding repot1.Prepare,

but the report dosn't show some data when I export it to PDF (it shows OK when I view the report though)

Any help with that?

Thank you,

AlexTZ

What exactly it doesn't show?

I have some data placed in ShapeObject, all fields and text is not displayed in the PDF file, it's being displayed in the Report Perview though.

Probably your Shape object is in front of the data. Right-click it and select "Send to back" menu item.

Hi,

I removed the ShapeObject around the data/text and the PDF was created OK.

It seems that exporting to PDF has some problems with ShapeObject. Is that confirmed??

Thanks,

Thanks,

Yes, I set the ShapeObject to (send to back) and it works perfect now.

Great feature.

Thanks again,
