Hi Victor,

This link as a lot of info regarding DX Reports and Strataframe: http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic27535-7-1.aspx


Cheers, Peter

We use Report Sharp-Shooter from Perpetuum Software (http://www.perpetuumsoft.com)

Easy and compatible with StrataFrameBO.

I recommend.

Does anyone have an example of this or any other way of doing Master Detail in XtraReports with the latest version of XtraReports? I tried downloading the SampleReportingApp but I can't seem to view the relevant code/report because of the older version used.

I went ahead and coded it using the 6.3 DevExpress dll's.  If you are using 7.1, you should be able to just replace the defunct references with your own 7.1 dll's.

I didn't go through and thoroughly test it, but it appeared to be working (famous developer last words :-) )

Let me know if you have any problems.

Are you using DevExpress 6.3, or 7.1 ?

Hi,

It would be very helpful if you could send me a quick sample.



Thank you very much.

We used XtraReports exclusively in our application and have several parent-child-grandchild ... reports.

The easiest way I found was by using BusinessBindingSource Objects that instantiated a new BusinessObject of whichever type was needed for that Object, dropping those on the report form, and manipulating them on the Report via the DataSourceRowChanged Event.

Using this approach got us away from having to build datasources from the underlying data.

I can create a quick sample if you want one.

Funny you are asking about this.  We are starting to recommend Report-Shooter from Perpetuum software (http://www.perpetuumsoftware.com).  We will be posting samples and examples of how to integrate SF and have native object model support with the report engine.  Also we will be posting the differences between each of the report engines we tested over the next couple of weeks.  We chose not to use XtraReports because this is more cumbersome with their approach.  Active Reports and Report-Shooter have very clean object models which make it easy to bind to objects supporting the IBindingList interface.

Also, I posted on another thread regarding how we bind to a report with an object model support.  This happened to be in a grid thread, but the logic is the same: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost11505.aspx .

Hi,

Any ideas how to create master-details report using xtrareport and SF BO? How could I bind field to report in design time?



Thank you
