Appending fails with Prepare(true)
Hello,
I get a NullReference-Exception when doing this on data where I registered a new DataSource (Business objects):
System.NullReferenceException occurred
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source=FastReport

at FastReport.Report.Prepare(Boolean append)
(v.1.4.3.0)
when I use 1.3.70 then it fails even earlier since the dynamically created .cs file (validated with report.GenerateReportAssembly(filename)) contains errors.
The problem starts when I have different data sources.
Currently I'm doing something like this:
This works for many reports as long as "data" is of the very same type. But with different business objects, it fails.
Is there something I can call for a complete rebuild of internal dictionaries? (Neither report.Refresh() nor report.Dictionary.ClearRegisteredData() does help.)

Comments
The first call to Prepare() must be with append=false. I have tried to reproduce the bug, but it works well for my reports. Could you prepare a demo project for me?
This does not change anything for me. Even appending several reports with Prepare(true) works as long as all data source objects are the same (maybe you already know if the report is prepared at all or not -- maybe by checking PreparedPages against null).
I'll try to extract a sample -- my hope was that the callstack would point you to the source of the NullReferenceException.
