  -- public IAsyncActionWithProgress<double> OpenAsyncEx();
  -- public void Open();
  -- public Task OpenAsync();
  -- public Task OpenAsync(C1DocumentLocation documentLocation);
  Now C1SSRSDocumentSource.Generate() can be used immediately after defining all necessary properties like DocumentLocation, ConnectionOptions etc.

  -- public void Generate();
  -- public IAsyncActionWithProgress<double> GenerateAsyncEx();
  -- public Task GenerateAsync();

  -- public List<ParameterValueError> CheckParameterValues();
  -- public Task<List<ParameterValueError>> CheckParameterValuesAsync();
  -- public IAsyncOperationWithProgress<List<ParameterValueError>, double> CheckParameterValuesAsyncEx();
  Use C1SSRSDocumentSource.ValidateParameters(...) instead. The values of parameters are applied automatically before generating.

  {
  // Summary:
  // The document is ready (not busy).

  // Gets the value indicating whether the current C1DocumentSource busy.
  public bool IsBusy { get; }
  // Summary:
  // Gets a value indicating whether this C1DocumentSource is disposed and can not be longer used.

  -- public Task<List<ParameterValidationError>> ValidateParametersAsync();
  These methods validate the current parameter values and refresh their valid values lists if the values are valid.
