The viewer and designer can share one dashboard, toggling between preview and editing by moving the report object between them.

Create both, then swap the report on toggle.
var designer = new Stimulsoft.Designer.StiDesigner(null, "StiDesigner", false);
var viewer = new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewer(new Stimulsoft.Viewer.StiViewerOptions(), "StiViewer", false);

var report = Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport.createNewDashboard();
report.loadFile("../dashboard/Christmas.mrt");
viewer.report = report;

function openInDesigner() { designer.report = viewer.report; }   // show designer
function openInViewer()   { viewer.report = designer.report; }   // show viewer

How it works. The dashboard object is passed between viewer and designer, so edits made in one appear immediately when switching to the other.
