Action Event missing

11-26-2009, 10:34 PM
Hi,

One of the post mentioned support for action event in DDR 1.6.1362.0 that enables to intercept the drill thru action. I was given DDR 1.6.1523.0 WRT to an issue with sparkline rendering in word and don't see support for the action event.

Can you please suggest a latest build that supports both the rendering resolution + action event support?

Hello,
In build 1.6.1362.0 or later ReportPreview and WebReportViewer controls have the new Action event which is raised when user performs any kind of action(hyperlink, drillthroughlink, etc.). Also, this build contains the fix for the table+images+Word RE problem.

Hi Sergei,

thanks, the sparklines graphs are displaying correctly in word.

WRT to action event I am using the sample you have on the post and it isn't working. Can you please check again with build 1.6.1523 or is the sample incorrect?

Hello,
Could you please clarify:
You refer to the sample which was posted in this thread, right?
What do you mean by "the sample isn't working"? Could you please explain? Doesn't it compile? Or there are the runtime errors?

Sergey,

yes, the referenced thread is the one I was referring to (http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/125122/ShowPost.aspx).

I used the solution referenced in the thread. I am unable to compile the code specified on the thread. I get the following error
------------
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ActionEventArgs' does not exist in the namespace 'DataDynamics.Reports' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
---------------

I get the following error when I open the designer.

-----------
C:\Users\Vara\narayanan\test\WindowsApplication1\Form1.cs 24 80 WindowsApplication1



One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.

The type 'DataDynamics.Reports.Windows.Forms.ReportPreview' has no event named 'Action'.

thank you for the attention.

Hello,
Build 1.6.1523.0 is the maintenance release which does not include the Action event feature.
In http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/125122/ShowPost.aspx I mentioned build 1.6.1362.0 which is not the maintenance release but rather the interim build.
We can send you the interim build which includes the Action event feature + the image/table/Word fix, but it will be the interim, non-official release. You can use it in the production at your own risk.

Sergey,

Could explain what is a maintenance release and an interim build and the caveats associated with each?

If maintenance release is the official supported version when can we expect a maintenance release with the action event ?

There are three types of releases: Maintenance, interim, and (the non-descript) release.

Maintenance releases are short-cycle releases that are branched off of a stable build/previous maintenance release containing only the fixes/features requested by a user.  Because of the low-number of changes the stability of these builds is higher, and generally recommended for use if the latest release cannot be used.  The maintenance team works separately from the feature team focusing on user issues with a goal of a quick turnaround.

Interim builds come from the mainline of the source tree and contain not only the fixes/features requested but all of the new code that has been worked on since the previous release.  Because of the number of changes involved it is harder to vouch for the stability of these releases and they should only be used in cases where a work around is not available for an issue or a feature was needed.  The feature team works on implementing the larger features as well as fixing the issues that have a broad scope. 

Eventually the line that produces an interim build will eventually become a release once it has been vetted by the team and gone through all of our release testing.   These releases are listed on the download page with the full list of implemented cases.

As to a time-frame on when a release or maintenance release will be available; I don't currently have one.  The team is currently working on several large cases which in the end will improve the performance of the product several times over.  I am currently planning to do a release once we've met our first goal in this endeavor.

Hi James/Sergey,

Can you advise on status of the next maintenance release? If the maintenance release isn't planned in the next month or so. Could you please send an interim build with the export to word/pdf and action event?

thanks
