add custom assembly

Hi,

I tried to add a custom assembly to the report designer.
Here are the screens for the assembly and the custom code to use the assembly.

The namespace of the dll is the same like the name. Classname is Services. The class and the methods are all static.
All I get is a #Error in the textbox I try to call the dll.
Is there something I have to change to get it to work.
Thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick, 
 
Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion components. 
 
We suspect the error occurs because of the custom assembly you have referred is not copied to the installed location of report designer. So, we request you to copy your custom assembly to the installed location of the report designer. If you still face any error then we request you to update the custom assembly with us. It will be helpful for us to validate the problem at our end.

Hi Vinoth,

thanks for your respone, you were right.
Now I´m facing a problem when I try to connect to a windows service from the DLL.
This works via my test application but in the report it says #Error.
Is this not possible to do in a custom DLL when adding them to a report?
Thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Vinoth,

I got it working using test values.
Now I have an error when trying to pass parameters into the code.
This is the expression for the textbox value:

I get the following error:

Here is the code:

I noticed that the method name is not shown in the error message.
Is there something I have to change to get it to work?
Thanks.

Hi Patrick, 
 
We were able to process the code module expression with parameter values at our end and we have prepared a simple report based on this. It can be downloaded from the below location. 
 
 
If you still face any issue then we request you to share the custom assembly and report with us to validate the problem. 
 
Regards, 
Vinoth S.
