Update from R1 2018 to R3 2020

[Nuno]

Hello,

Today i have made an update from R1 2018 to R3_2020_SP1_14_2_20_1021_DEV and now all my reports does not behave as usual.

For instance, a simple data ItemDataBinding of a PictureBox to populate the phisical path of an image is not working ... 

Same thing to htmltextbox ... it is not puting the value with ItemDataBinding to the report.

Can you help me? What do you need from me to solve my situation?

 

This is my code, that in the version R3 worked:

    Private Sub PictureBox3_ItemDataBinding(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox3.ItemDataBinding

        Dim item As Processing.ReportItemBase = DirectCast(sender, Processing.ReportItemBase)
        If IO.File.Exists(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Images").ToString() & "cabecalho.PNG") Then
            PictureBox3.Value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Images").ToString() & "cabecalho.PNG"
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub HtmlTextBox12_ItemDataBinding(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles HtmlTextBox12.ItemDataBinding

        Dim item As Processing.ReportItemBase = DirectCast(sender, Processing.ReportItemBase)
        If IO.File.Exists(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Images").ToString() & "contrato_header.txt") Then

            Dim fileReader As String
            fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Images").ToString() & "contrato_header.txt")
            HtmlTextBox12.Value = fileReader

        End If
    End Sub

 

Thanks,

Nuno

Hello Nuno,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues after upgrade.

Basically, using the ItemDataBinding event is an approach that we do not recommend. Please, check the Report Events article and  Changes on items in report events are not applied KB article. If it is possible, please test to use Bindings as explained in the KB.

Note that, in such cases when our users want to upgrade from an older version, we advise following How to Upgrade an old project to the latest Telerik Reporting version KB article.

I hope this information helps you. Please, let me know if you need further assistance.
