I'm breaking my head with this issue, I have a webapp that has a report using crystal report, in the development pc it works fine, but when copy the same project to another pc, when I load the project (VS 2003) the following msg appears:
One or more projects in solution need to be updated to use Crystal Reports XI Release 2. If you choose "Yes", the update will be applied permanently...
I choose "Yes" and after that I can see that CrystalDecisions.Web reference has the correct version, and location according to the develpment machine, in this case: 11.5.3300.0.
But when run the webapp, I can see when the version and path suddenly changes to: 11.0.3300.0.
And when trying to see the report the following error appears:
Parser Error Message: The base class includes the field 'CrystalReportViewer1', but its type (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer).
the asp.net has the following:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cr" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" %>
How is this possible? what's happening here?
EDIT
This is what I did:
the wrong version (11.0.3300.0) was located at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\managed
and the right version (11.5.3300.0) is located at:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed
So I just deleted the files of the wrong solution, and I made it work in my new computer, no more errors when running the webapp, the report shows fine.
But when try to do the same thing in production server, a different error came out, now an exception:
This report could not be loaded due to the following issue: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CristalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception.
Any idea what could be causing this error now?
Here is the code:
Try
Dim cr As New ReportDocument
cr.Load(strpath)
cr.SetDatabaseLogon("usring", "pwding")
Select Case rt
Case 1
cr.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = "RMA Ticket"
Case 2
cr.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = "Service Ticket"
End Select
'cr.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = tt
cr.SetParameterValue("TicketNo", tn)
'cr.SummaryInfo.ReportComments = comment
CrystalReportViewer1.PrintMode = CrystalDecisions.Web.PrintMode.ActiveX
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr
CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage()
'cr.Close()
'cr.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox1.alert("This report could not be loaded due to the following issue: " & ex.Message)
End Try
