No data in ActiveX and PDF

Giving up - Need advice

I am using ActiveReports for 10 years without any problem. Upgraded recently a VS2003 project to VS2008 and converted reports from .Net 1 to .Net 3. Project uses ActiveX viewer and PDF (no WebViewer) to preview reports. Installed converted project onto production server. Using development machine all reports can be previewed locally and on production server without issues. Using my laptop, report preview (PDF and OCX) on production server do not display data but the empty preview window yet the export functionality works fine creating PDF, XLS, RTF, etc. as expected containing data using the rpt.document created in codebehind by ActiveX viewer.

Customer installed project on his server and is happy with reports yet unable to see data when running reports on our production server. Development machine, laptop and customer (several machines) using: Win XP SP2 and IE6.

Any advice or help is appreciated.

Re: No data in ActiveX and PDF
Hello,

Thank you for your query. I would like to ask a few questions in order to analyse the issue better.

1) Were you able to view the reports with the viewer type selected as ActiveX  or AcrobatReader before upgrading the project to VS2008?

2) You have mentioned that you have upgraded from ActiveReports for .NET 1.0 to ActiveReports for .NET 3.0. Do you have the upgraded dlls in the production server?

3) How is the behaviour when you change the browser from IE6 to something else?

Regards,
Prantik

Re: No data in ActiveX and PDF

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

Attachment: TestActiveXViewer.zip
Hello,

Have you included the arview2.cab in the project? If so what is the codebase property for the Web viewer. Make sure that it is

arview2.cab#Version=-1,-1,-1,-1.

Also make sure that the http handlers are configured properly. Please take a look at this and this link in this regard.

Also, please run the attached sample and check if you are able to view the reports. Can you provide a small sample to replicate the issue for further testing.

Regards,
Prantik
