What is the replacement object for this in the Report.4 product? It still exists in the Report.2 product, so I don’t know what to do to proceed with a conversion to the .NET 4 product.

"Support for the .NET 4.0 client profile was added to .NET 4.0 builds of Reports for WinForms. HtmlTableFilter is not supported in the .NET 4.0 build. This is a temporary limitation that will be removed in a future build."

This note was in 2010 v2. I know that "temporary" is a subjective term, but is there an actual timeline that I can expect this limitation to be removed, since that was over a year ago, and I’m paying for updates that don’t ever seem to actually get done? This has been the stickler keeping me from being able to fully upgrade to the C1 .NET 4 product all along.

Rendering as HtmlFilter just isn’t an option when Outlook is a target e-mail client. I know that’s not your fault, but given that it IS a common BUSINESS e-mail client, I need the HtmlTableFilter working, and even though it looks like crap, too, at least it’s legible. It’d be nice if they’d just let me send PDF attachments, but no, they want it sent directly as text in their e-mail.

Because we had to support it in our .NET 4.0 version, that specific filter was removed with the intention of rewriting the code without using the offending class. With other more pressing issues taking priority, this has not been done yet. We are currently looking into implementing this, I will update this thread when new info is available. Hope this at least clarifies the situation. Thanks.

I figured that it probably wasn’t implemented because of the client profile when I read the "client profile was added …", having hit exactly the same issue myself on another project (thankfully, all I needed was a couple of simple encoder / decoder methods that were easy to implement myself). :) I was just hoping that there would be a replacement for this, and was wondering what the timeline was to fix it.

I’d be fine running a recompiled assembly that has it in that requires the full .NET 4.0 framework. I’m using the assembly in a service, and so I don’t really mind having to use the full .NET 4.0 framework (I think the service already uses it due to some other things it’s doing).

Hopefully we’ll be able to do and release this as a hotfix reasonably soon – but as I say, I will post a more definite update shortly.

As for using the full framework – for that to work, we would basically need to make a special set of assemblies of .NET 4.0 C1Reports for that in addition to the regular (client profile) set of assemblies – not feasible really, unfortunately.

Thanks.
