Error while trying to load Crystal report via Windows service

Question

Hi,
I am trying to generate PDF file using crystal reports. I have developed a console application which works absolutely fine, however when I converted the code to work as windows service (wcf hosted in Windows service), this below error I see from stack trace:
Load report failed.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened()
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename)
at AtDataWindowsService.GetData.generatePDF(DataTable dt)
The code used is:
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType exportFormat;
ReportDocument reportObj = new ReportDocument();
exportFormat = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
//Load the Crystal Report
reportObj.Load("CrystalReport.rpt");
reportObj.SetDataSource(dt);
What might be going wrong here?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Based on your description, I am afraid that the issue is out of support of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest that you can consult your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

  for better solution and support.
