How to design report with DesignerControl?

inetMark · September 2011

I use code like this. But designer will be show empty.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Report report = new Report())
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Form form = new Form();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â DesignerControl designer = new DesignerControl();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â designer.Parent = form;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â designer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.Designer = designer;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.Load(@"D:\MyReport.frx");
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.RegisterData(MyDataTable, "MyTable");
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.Prepare();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.Design();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â form.Show();

Ok, I found problem.

I need do this:

designer.Report = report;

instead of this:

report.Designer = designer;

Why it is in PreviewControl in opposite way that in Design control?

Hello,

Try this:

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Report report = new Report())
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Form form = new Form();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â DesignerControl designer = new DesignerControl();
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â designer.Parent = form;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â designer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.Load(@"D:\MyReport.frx");
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â report.RegisterData(MyDataTable, "MyTable");
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â designer.Report = report;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â form.Show();
