Reports as Assemblies

Stimulsoft Reports reports generation has the unique ability to compile reports to the .Net Framework assembly. Use the **File

Save Report As…** menu for saving a report to the assembly.

For loading a report from the assembly the following code is used:

C#:

StiReport report = StiReport.GetReportFromAssembly("report.dll");

VB.NET:

Dim Report As StiReport = StiReport.GetReportFromAssembly("report.dll")

Reports, which are loaded from assembly, do not require compilation. It is impossible to edit such reports in the report designer.
