11-08-2005, 4:18 AM cjorgensen Joined on 09-30-2003 Edmonds, Washington Posts 49 Upgrade reports in a project Ok.  I have looked and can't find the answer.  I just installed VS 2005 PRO and downloaded the latest Beta of .NET for 2005. I load my VS 2003 project and the wizard converts the application for me.  I can compile and run it, and it works great.  Only problem is that the reports don't work.  It seems like it seperates some of the files. What can I do to get my VS 2003 Active Reports 1.0 reports to convert over correctly to the new VS 2005 Active Reports 2.0.

Make sure the references are updated for the active reports. Do you get any exceptions when you run the project? Make sure you have the new viewer control on your form. Also are correct assemblies installed in GAC? (C:\windows\assembly). I have converted so many projects with VS2005 wizards with active reports in it and never had any problems. Can you give me a sample project which had the earlier version of Active reports installed on it. I would try to convert and see what is going on. Rakesh Jani    Report

DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ReportException: Can't load report layout - resource "PermitTraxAdmin.rptCustomData.rpx" is not available (check if renamed, moved, or deleted). at DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport.LoadLayout(Type type, String resourceName) at PermitTraxLogin.rptCustomData.InitializeReport() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\PermitTrax\App_Code\admin\Reports\rptCustomData2.vb:line 74 at PermitTraxLogin.rptCustomData..ctor() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\PermitTrax\App_Code\admin\Reports\rptCustomData2.vb:line 46 at PermitTraxLogin.wfViewReport.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\PermitTrax\Admin\wfViewReport.aspx.vb:line 43 Thanks, Cory Thank you, Cory Jorgensen Bitco Software    Report

These are some steps you need to follow to change your web projects from VS2003 to VS2005. Let me know if you have any difficulties. 1.          Convert the project to a VS 2005 Project 2.          Create an App_Code Folder in the VS 2005 Project 3.          Close the project 4.          Move the reports to the App_Code Folder 5.          Rename the *.cs or *.vb files to *.rpx.cs files or *.rpx.vb 6.          Open the rpx files as xml files 7.          Edit the CodeFile Attribute to *.rpx.cs.

11-08-2005, 1:41 PM rakeshjani Joined on 08-28-2004 Columbus,Ohio Posts 362 Re: Upgrade reports in a project Yes but why are you changing the name of the xml files? You don't need to do this. Just right click on rpx, select the openwith option and open in the xml editor. and change the code base. Rakesh Jani    Report

11-08-2005, 1:45 PM cjorgensen Joined on 09-30-2003 Edmonds, Washington Posts 49 Re: Upgrade reports in a project Ok... I got it to work.  The problem was that my files were like this: report.rpx and report2.vb When I changed report2.vb to report2.rpx.vb it didn't like the fact it didn't have the same name.  So I changed it to report.rpx.vb and now it is associated correctly. Thought I would share if anyone else has this problem. Thanks, Cory Jorgensen Bitco Software Thank you, Cory Jorgensen Bitco Software    Report

11-10-2005, 10:11 PM Perecli Joined on 08-28-2004 Posts 3 Re: Upgrade reports in a project I tried your step by step conversion but still have a problem. In the .vb file there is a reference that can not be resolved. Public Sub InitializeReport() Me .LoadLayout( Me .GetType, "ArgoWeb.BalanceSheet.rpx" ) ... ... End Sub On this LoadLayout call the runtime complains with: Can't load report layout - resource "ArgoWeb.BalanceSheet.rpx" is not available (check if renamed, moved, or deleted). However if I add a new report, there is no LoadLayout but instead there is something like this: Me .XmlLayout = "<?xml version=""1.0"" ...... It looks like the conversion is a lot more complicated than the steps you mentioned. Don't you have some conversion tool for this? I have a lot of reports to convert and I have spent hours on just this one with no solution.    Report

I have moved the .rpx files to the App_Code/Reports folder, changed the file name for the code behind files as per instructions, and changed the CodeFile attribute in the .rpx file. I am still getting this same error message: {ReportName}.rpx is not available (check if renamed, moved, or deleted). Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.    Report
