Report.AssignAll

jose525

Hi,
how do I create a 100% copy of a loaded report?

My current code looks like this:

template = Report.FromFile(filename);
...
report = new Report();
report.AssignAll(template);
...

it works file - all objects will be copied, but without names.

...
rect = report.FindObject("myDataRectangle");

if (rect == null)
MessageBox.Show("rect is null");
...

Please point me.

Thank you.

again me and I found a solution (maybe it isn't nice, but it works)

public void CopyReport(Base source, Base target)
{
Base targetItem;


target.Assign(source);
target.Name = source.Name;

foreach (Base sourceItem in source.ChildObjects)
{
targetItem = (Base)Activator.CreateInstance(sourceItem.GetType());
targetItem.SetReport(target.Report);

CopyReport(sourceItem, targetItem);

targetItem.SetReport(null);
targetItem.Parent = target;
}
}


It works for me.

Did someone have some other ideas?

Hello,

The easiest way to copy a report instance is the following:

Report report1 = new Report();
report1.Load(...);
Report report2 = new Report();
report2.LoadFromString(report1.SaveToString());

the fastest way is:

Report report1 = new Report();
report1.Load(...);
Report report2 = new Report();
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
  report1.Save(stream);
  stream.Position = 0;
  report2.Load(stream);
}
