Get the .trdx location path inside the suctom function dll file

[Janitha]

I have created a custom function for multilingual support. Inside this function I use path of the language files as an variable. But when I call Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() , System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory or other methods to get the report template file location it always returns the path of the 'TelerikReportDesigner.exe' and where the dll file resides (C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q1 2016\Report Designer). But my template file resides on another folder(ex:- E:\Reports\..) How can I get the template file location inside the custom function???

Hello ,

Relative paths are resolved based on the execution folder of the running application. Test specifying the absolute path to the reports -  E:\Reports\...

I cannot specify the absolute path since the path of the .trdx file changes dynamically. I was hoping that there is a way to identify that path as a relative path, not the path of the execution file.

Hi ,

GetCurrentDirectory() method will get the current working directory of the application. You can place the files from E:\Reports\.. location to the drive where the application is running to be able to use the relative path.

You can also map the relative path to base path that is provided via expression e.g. report parameter:

//custom function
public static string GetFullPath(string basePath, string relativePath)
{
    return basePath+relativePath;
}

//usage
"=GetFullPath(Parameters.BasePathParam.Value, '/FileName.ext')";

The report's BasePathParam  parameter can be updated on displaying the report.
