Crystal report viewer 2.0.23 access denied

Post Author: gionnyDeep
CA Forum: General
hi all
I'm using CR viewer 2.0.23 in a java standalone apllication.Actually whe i try to open a CR XI report with CR viewer 2.0.23 i get Access denied.
It look like CR viewer does not fetch login information to database by the report.
I found a work aroud but sometimes works and sometimes does not! I set for each table of my report db login and db password as follow:
DatabaseController dc= rc.getDatabaseController(); Tables tables = dc.getDatabase().getTables(); for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) { ITable table = tables.getTable(i); IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo(); String userName=table.getConnectionInfo().getUserName(); String password=table.getConnectionInfo().getPassword(); connectionInfo.setUserName(userName); connectionInfo.setPassword(password); connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL); table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo); dc.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i)); }
The problem is that it works just with reports created with CR XI.If i use a report created with CR 9 or 10 and i save this report with CR XI.And after that i open my report in CR viewer 2.0.23 sometimes it works sometimese does not.I got Access denied!!!!

You will have to use the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (craxdrt.dll). Before you do however, it may be good to know that CR XI r2 is the last version of CR that includes the craxdrt.dll as this is considered to be a retired technology in CR 2008. This may impact your efforts as the life cycle of the app may be limited(?).
Here is a link to more details of the RDC lifecycle:

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.
When I click on the Crystal Report viewer Internet Explorer Exception occurs
The following add-on was running when this problem occurred:

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you
Don

Crystal report viewer does not observe the PaperSize and PageOrientation setting

Hi:
My application is a 3 tier application, where the WinForm client is connected to the WCF Services hosted in IIS server.
The report is generated on server side using WCF service, and export as.rpt with data, the .rpt file is then sent to the WinForm client, the Crystal Report viewer is used to load the .rpt file for preview and print.
On server side I've Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed and set as default printer. On the client side if the default printer is XPS or Nitro PDF creator, the report can be view and print correctly, report design in landscape will be able to show in the landscape in CR viewer, report design using custom paper size (e.g. Half Letter), CR viewer able to show it in Half Letter.
The problem that I'm facing is when the default printer is set to HP LaserJet P1120 or others (I've tried Epson ESC/P Standard driver), the report is always shown in the portrait, and it will not be able to show in custom paper size either. Here is my code:
     Dim settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
     Dim rep as New ReportDocument
     rep.Load(sOutputFileName)     'The report is download from server and save in sOutputFileName
     SetReportPaperSize(rep, sPaperSizeName, False, settings) ' sPaperSizeName store the name of the custom paper used in the report
     CrViewer.ReportSource = rep
   Public Shared Sub SetReportPaperSize(rep As ReportDocument, paperSizeName As String, isHardCopy As Boolean, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      Dim installedPrinters As Printing.PrinterSettings.StringCollection = Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
      Dim printers As New List(Of String)
      Dim sPrinter As String
      If installedPrinters.Count = 0 Then
         Return
      End If
      SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(rep.PrintOptions, paperSizeName, settings)
      With rep.PrintOptions
         .PrinterName = settings.PrinterName
         .PaperSource = PaperSource.Auto
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length > 0 Then
            .PaperSize = DirectCast(GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName, settings, rep.PrintOptions.PaperSize), CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
         End If
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Sub SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(printOptions As PrintOptions, paperSizeName As String, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      With settings.DefaultPageSettings
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length = 0 Then
            . PaperSize = GetPaperSize (printOptions.PaperSize, settings)
         Else
            For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
               If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
                  .PaperSize = size
                  Exit For
               End If
            Next
         End If
         .Landscape = printOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
         .Margins.Top = printOptions.PageMargins.topMargin
         .Margins.Left = printOptions.PageMargins.leftMargin
         .Margins.Bottom = printOptions.PageMargins.bottomMargin
         .Margins.Right = printOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Function GetPaperSize(paperSizeId As Integer, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings) As Printing.PaperSize
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Printing.PaperSize
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      ' Default paper Size defined in the printer
      result = settings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize
      For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
         If size.RawKind = paperSizeId Then
            result = size
            Exit For
         End If
      Next
      Return result
   End Function
   Public Shared Function GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName As String, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings Optional defaultpaperSizeId As CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize) As Integer
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Integer = defaultpaperSizeId
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(paperSizeName) Then
         For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
            ' Height and Width in Printing.PaperSize is measure in hundredths of an inch
            If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
               result = size.RawKind
               Exit For
            End If
         Next
      End If
      Return result
   End Function
Setting the PrintOptions.PaperSize and PageOrientation seem like no effect on the viewer. My code to load the report to CR viewer is much more complicated than the code I show above, I've a background worker thread to download the report, and when the worker thread finished download the report from the server, it will assign the report to CRViewer. Do the changes in report PrintOption before assign to CRViewe and after assigning to CRViewer make any different?
I'm using VS2010, CR XI R2 (Version 11.5.3700.0). Please Help. Thanks
Regards
JC Voon

Hi JC,
CRXI R2 is a no go with VS 2010, these two are not compatible.
With CR 11.5 use VS 2005.
Or Use VS 2010 and CR for VS 2010 (13.0)
Once you have the supported / compatible conbination of CR and VS, use the In Proc RAS .NET code from below KBA.

Crystal Reports Viewer Control - Visual Studio 2008 WEB Application

My question is this: Has ANYONE on this planet been able to get the ASP .NET CR Viewer control to actually work?
Why does this editor NOT recognize End-of-line or CR characters or any whitespace??
I have developed a Crystal Reports "Viewer" web application in VS2008 using C#.
It's a simple app, in that it's a single page with a treeview control (containing the grouped names of the reports to which the user has access) and the CR Viewer control.
The report files live on a network share, and permissions to them is controlled via a SQL Server database, which, for each report, stores the UserID and Logion for the oracle database, as well as any required parameter values.
The reports themselves are all hititng an Oracle 10g database.
I managed to do this in a Windows desktop applcation using Visual Studio 2005 and VB .net, but now, upon trying to make this a web application in VS2008, I have completely failed. The application works when run locally, but when deployed to the web server, I experience database login prompts when I should not, (the dreaded "Report requires further information" message) even thought the setdatabaselogin has already been set. I have tried saving the reportdocument in viewstate and re-assigning the viewer Datasource property to it, that also fails. However, it only does it on some reports, and not others. (admittedly, the reports may have been created using different CR versions)
The viewer also displays data it should not be displaying when I attempt to scroll, when I do manage to get a report to run.
I am setting parameters dynamically at run time, whose values are stored in the SQL database.
Code Sample:
protected void ShowReport(int ReportID)
 SQLDataPortal2005.Common sql = new SQLDataPortal2005.Common();
 Hashtable outParms = new Hashtable();
 string sAccess;
 IDataReader dr;
 CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rptDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
 System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal;
 sAccess = p.Identity.Name;
 int j = 0;
 int i = -1;
 if (!IsAdmin())
 sql.ExecNonQuery("CrystalReports", outParms, "proc_CRM_Check_Permissions", sAccess, Convert.ToInt32(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value));
 if (outParms["@Allow"].ToString() != "True")
 Response.Redirect("ErrorPage.aspx"); // redirect to error page
 string sPath = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["WareHouse"].ToString();
 sPath = sPath + TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text.Trim() + ".rpt";
 rptDocument.Load(sPath);
 dr = sql.GetDataReader("CrystalReports", "proc_CRM_Get_Report", Convert.ToInt32(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value));
 while (dr.Read() == true)
 j += 1;
 if (j < 2)
 rptDocument.SetDatabaseLogon(dr["DB_Login"].ToString(), dr["DB_Pwd"].ToString(), "PLAW", "LAWDB", true);
 pList = dr["ParmList"].ToString().Split(',');
 dr.Close();
 dr.Dispose();
 if (pList.Length > 0 && pList[0].ToString().Trim() != "")
 foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField x in rptDocument.ParameterFields)
 i++;
 switch (x.ParameterValueType)
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.BooleanParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToBoolean(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.CurrencyParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDouble(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.DateParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.DateTimeParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.NumberParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToInt32(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.StringParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToString(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.TimeParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 Session["CReport"] = rptDocument;
 CRV1.ReportSource = rptDocument;
 CRV1.DisplayGroupTree = false;
 CRV1.HasRefreshButton = true;
 CRV1.ShowFirstPage();
Is there a better/different way of accomplishing this very simply process? All I need this application to do is to view a report, while setting it's parmeters (if required) dynamically at run time. I don't EVER want the user to be prompted for DB LOGIN INFO.

To answer you question; Yes, I suspect that most of the users in this community have managed to successfully create web apps. And this is the tiniest of sampling of the developers out there...
A few suggestions;
1) Keep the posts to under 1200 characters. Otherwise, the formatting is lost which makes it difficult to read.
2) Try out a few sample apps from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
Suggest; csharp_web_simplelogonengine.zip, csharp_web_simplelogonviewer.zip and csharp_web_subreport_logon.zip.
3) Start simple; one table, one field, no subreports. Hard code the database logon parameters. Convince your self that this does work. Increase the complexity - add fields, tables, subreports. Do not mix connection methods (e.g.; if ODBC for main, than ODBC for sub is a good idea, though not a requirement).
4) See the article [Troubleshooting Guide to Database Connectivity Issues with Crystal Reports in Visual Studio .NET Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b0225775-88c4-2c10-bd80-8298769293de].
5) See [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] article.

Crystal Report Viewer Not viwed - Through APP Server Re-Direction

Hello Team
I have a critical problem in my organizaion for viewing the reports.
Configuration that we are using:
1. Windows Server 2008 R2
2. Crystal 13 - Server Trial Version - Expiring on Aug-25th, 2014
3. Used Visual Studio 2010 - .NET
4. IIS 7.0 - configured a Virtual Directory for ASP.NET application
Out Application is using an Oracle APP Server to view the HTML. A button is provided in the HTML to redirect to view the Crystal Report.
when I click on the Hyperlink and the url is directly accessed, then the Report is being shown without any issue.
But ours is a corporate application and we have given a provision of accessign this application when users are outside of network. Hence the Crystal Server is under fire-wall. So, I cannot access it directly with a URL. Hence the app server is configured in such a way that if it find a name like "Reports" in the URL, then it redirects to the actual Web Server and gets back the data to the browser.
for URL redirection, the app server is configured as below
 ProxyPass /crystalreportviewers/ http://<<ServerIP>>/crystalreportviewers/
 ProxyPassReverse /crystalreportviewers/ http://<<ServerIP>>/crystalreportviewers
 ProxyPass /reports10/ http://<<ServerIP>>/reports10/
 ProxyPassReverse /reports10/ http://<<ServerIP>>/reports10
When the user redirects from the APP server using those redirection rules, the pages are being executed but the final crystal report viewer control is not being shown on the browser. I am not sure if we need to perform any other steps to get these thigns done.
Our server is behind fire-wall and whenever I am in network, I used to get the output but when the redirection happens not able to load the Crystal Report Viewer. Not sure, if there are any other security rules that I need to consider to get back the CrystalReportViewer.
Also, there is something called CrystalReportInteractiveViewer prior to Crystal13. Do we have anything as such in Crystal 13 also? Please help me in getting this worked.
Please let me know if I am not clear in my explanation and I can certainly provide you a better information based on your queries.
Thanks

Crystal report viewer from portlet

Hi,
I have a problem with opening Crystal report viewer from portlet. I am using Spring portletMVC but this doesnt matter in this case. After clicking some button a controller process form in method where is access to ActionRequest, ActionResponse. But how can I "redirect" with some parameters to plain JSP page where I can write something like this:
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     viewer.setReportSource(rcd.getReportSource());
     viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out);
     viewer.dispose();
Oh, perharps is understandable, sorry for my English and thanks for helping. Any code of link would be wonderful.

I haven't worked with Crystal Reports in quite awhile, but in the past I've written code to launch Crystal Reports using OLE. If I recall correctly, there existed an ActiveX control that could be embedded into VB forms, and the like. I'm unsure, however, whether they continue to support this mechanism. Given that your requirements do not allow CLIENT_HOST or DDE, however, I am guessing that OLE automation would also be unacceptable.
Have you looked at WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT?

How can I get the View Tab name on the Crystal Report Viewer at runtime?

When a report is displayed in the Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer and the user drills into the report, the drill down view is displayed in a seperate view and is identified via a View tab at the top of the report. I can determine the index of the view tab that is currently selected, but I need to access the text that is on the View tab. The only properties that I've found that pertain to the "view" on the Crystal Report viewer are the ActiveViewIndex and the ViewCount. Unfortunately, neither of these items help me because they are not specific to a certain section of the report. Has anyone had any luck accessing the View Tab properties ? Thanks.

The tabs at the top of the page are nested within some of the viewers controls. Through trial and error you just have to find the right one. In this case the main part of the report is in the first control. This happens to be a TabControl. From there you can loop through the TabPages on the TabControl to grab the names of the tabs.
Here is a quick example of what I did to get the tab text. All this code was in a button click event.
Control oControl = crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0];
TabControl oTabControl = (TabControl)oControl.Controls[0];
foreach (TabPage oTabPage in oTabControl.TabPages)
MessageBox.Show(oTabPage.Text);

Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue. Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports. We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000). The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1. For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes. Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others. If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first. While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test. Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading. I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder. Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime. We never had such issues. Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents. Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method. The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ? Is there a way to speed up things ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference. Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
Thanks again for your time !

Hi, Rocio;
In the future, please submit programming type questions to our SDK Forums.
The component you are looking for is the Crystal Report Viewer Control x, where x is your version of Crystal Reports.
You can also browse to the file, it is crviewer.dll.

Crystal Report Viewer Control 11.5

I have Crystal 2008 but I need to be able to use the Crystal Report Viewer when viewing reports through a website.
I have the activex in my AddOn Manager but when I view the files in my Downloaded files folder the viewer control is not there.
How do I download the CR reports viewer?
thanks

I am giving myself points for stumbling onto the solution to this.
I had basically given up that I would not be able to view my reports on this computer. I tried everything I could think of to either fix or remove the ActiveX control.
I had to do some stuff on Access today and in the Tools menu there is an item called Active X controls.
I clicked on the Crystal Report Active X Controll 11.5 and then clicked on the Unregister button.
I opened the IE add-on manager and the control was nowhere to be seen.
I logged on the site where I need to view the reports and what do you know it asked me to install the
Active X control.
Two IE restarts later I am now able to see my reports.
So if you need to remove an Acitve X control from IE and it won't let you delete try unregistering it in Access.

Crystal Reports Viewer XI R2 Missing icons on toolbar when displayed

I am using Crystal Reports Viewer XI R2 on Windows 2003 Server and trying to deploy to a different server.
I have deployed a new web site from a development server to production. The crystal reports render correctly, but the only problem is that the icons for the viewer show "X". I have tried the following:
Copy the aspnet_client folder (c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client) and all of itu2019s subfolders to the physical root directory of the custom web site.
If the above does not help, ensure that this is in the web.config of the application:
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
</httpHandlers>
Still see "X" in the view tool bar.

Your IIS logs show that the web server can't find the toolbar gif files. The first thing I'd do here is browse to this location using your IIS Manager. Find the next.gif file and right click it and select Browse. This will take your application out of the picture and will tell you if you can see this gif file on its own as processed by IIS.
If that doesn't work you likely have a permissions issue. Look at the security on the toolbar directory and see if the ASPNET or Network Service account have rights to read that directory. Also make sure the group IIS_WPG has access here too. You might even want to run the IIS Managers permissions wizard to clean up file permissions here.
Another thing you could try is creating a Virtual Directory that points to the original aspnet_client directory under C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!

Crystal Reports Viewer 11.5 fails in Vista

We are using the Crystal Reports Viewer (crviewer.dll) version 11.5.10.1263. It works fine in XP but fails with the following error in Vista:
A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in sprdlgs2.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in sprdlgs2.dll
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Sprdlgs2.dll is the DLL that contains the dialog in which the viewer resides. I know that crviewer.dll is registered correctly.
Our product is a C++ MFC multi-document application migrated from Visual Studio 6.0 to the .NET Framework 2.0 with the managed code flag (/clr) on.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter,
As Jason indicated the RDC has not been tested with Vista nor any version of .NET IDE. RDC is COM and Microsoft is moving away from COM and to their Framework which as you said you must also do as we must. Even though MS upgrades their OS's we can't follow for old technolgies, it just becomes too much coding and vertually becomes a new version of CR with the amount of work required. To move CR forward we try to release patches for the current versions that are 100% backward compatable with the current OS's. XI R2 with SP2 now supports Vista through a service patch.
The RDC has not been updated since Version 9 at that time Windows XP and 2000 were the only OS's available and they fully supported COM. It simply becomes to costly to make everything backward compatable. For developers like yourself you can appriciate this, do you still support Windows 3.1? At some point everyone has to cut off backward compatablity.
Moving forward because .NET 2008 is also new, even XI R2 has problems with it, this is due to MS updating their 1.1 Framework to 2.0 and 3.5. they changed things which we had specific dependencies on so now we have to also change, this all takes time to implement.
So this becomes a "best effort support" case since you are doing this on an unsupported platform. I did not see any results of your testing in debug mode on Vista? Install .NET 2008 on a Vista 32 PC and run your app in debug mode, if you use Vista 64 set your compiler to use x86 only. I believe your dll's are wrappers around the crviewer.dll and is likely either a permission issue with our COM(ActiveX) dll's or your dll's. Using regedt32.exe will give you the ability also to change permissions on the viewer and possibly your dll. It may be that Windows is not allowing your exe to access your wrapper as the error suggests in your original post.
Bottom line is, you should upgrade your app to use the .NET assemblies and stop using the RDC. There are lots of samples and fairly easy to migrate what your RDC app is doing to .NET code. Coding won't be one to one but the steps to execute a report and view are the same.
Thanks again
Don
