To 1) Yes. The reports are part of an application running successfully since 2004 and were developed under .Net 1.1 using VS2003 and ActiveReports .Net released 2003. Customers were able to choose via pushbutton to view in PDF or in ActiveX format. Application displays buttons to export report as: PDF, XLS, RTF and HTML.
To 2) Upgraded from ActiveReports for .Net 1.1 (not 1.0) to .Net 3.5 - VS2003 to VS2008
To 3) Used today another computer with IE7 and ran application in addition locally on Production Server having Win 2003, IIS6 and IE7.
Development machine is the only machine that can produce a report showing data. All others hang when trying to preview in PDF or get an empty ActiveX viewer window showing toolbar, table of contents panel, etc.
Applications are 100% identical except for the fact that they are compiled for different Framework specs.
The strange thing is that even though there is no data displayed, the export buttons work fine producing a file with the data that should be shown. In VS2003, top right often displays a little animated GIF image to indicate a loading process. This image does not show in the VS2008 compiled application but again, data is available for export using a Session("RepDocument") = rpt.Document
Old application is still installed (in use) and works just fine. Both apps are using the same MS SQL database.
Thanks,
Klaus
