Further to my last post in here, I've been doing some playing around with various bits of ActiveX and all sorts of other things in an effort to get my app to print nicely rendered text when handed a bunch of HTML. I think I'm pretty close. I managed to get all the bugs I can see ironed out, but now I've got what's either silent failure or a different kind of success than I was expecting.
Bear with me while I try to explain what I've done, it's a little unconventional. To test with I've set up a page on which the page load event sends some HTML to my print routine. My print routine consists of a new class which inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form (I know, but bear with me). This class creates an ActiveX object (the MS DHTML editor control), passes the HTML string to it as its content, and then asks it to print. I found that, while there are all sorts of problems with printing without displaying the print dialog from a web browser control, the DHTML editor doesn't seem to mind and gives exactly the same result.
Anyway, after a lot of messing around with this (as you can imagine, including a windows form in an ASP.NET app caused me a little confusion), I've got to the point where I can load my page, and no errors arise, but I don't get anything out of the printer either. The ActiveX control is being called fine, there are no errors there, but the printout just doesn't arrive. The app has identity impersonate set to true, so I figured it would use the logged on user's default printer, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My next thought was that it might be using the aspnet process's default printer, if such a creature exists, but I don't know how to test for that.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? I feel like I'm really, really close and just need a bit of a nudge.

If it helps at all, I can now discount the notion that it's going to the wrong printer. I set the default printer programmatically and it still doesn't print anything. Any help would be appreciated, particularly from those of you more familiar with COM and ActiveX than I am.

Hello,
I have converted a VS 2003 project that has few Crsytalreports in
it to VS 2005. All the dlls got converted well and my application works well except the
Crystalreports part. I have a sub routine called ExportReport() in a
page called GenerateReport.aspx page. It works fine under VS 2003 which generates the
report in a word or excel etc... based on what user selects. But surprisingly it doesn't work in VS 2005.
The first line I have in ExportReport() sub routine is
Dim myReport as new CrystalReport1
and this works (I mean the I see the CrystalReport1 in the intellisense when I type the "new" key word) perfect in VS 2003. But it doesn't do the same thing in the converted VS 2005 project and I see a blue line underneath.
So as a work around I also tried adding
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
CrystalDecesions.ReportSource
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.Web
references to to my VS 2005 project by right clicking on the project
and by picking the "Add Reference...". option but it doesn't seem
like it hasn't done any thing for me and the IDE (intellisense) still doesn't recognise"CrystalReport1" in my VS
2005.
Have any one run into this kind of conversion from VS 2003 to VS 2005?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
-L

VS2003:Dim myReport as new CrystalReport1
VS2005:Dim myReport as new reportdocument
myreport.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt"))
VS2005 has excel export and word export etc.

Hi Daisy,
Thanks for the reply. Yes your code helped me to move further and I don't see any compile time errors. But at the line
'myReport.Load()
myReport.Load(Server.MapPath("ParishPartIEarlyChildhoodGrade8Report.rpt"))
I am getting an "access denied" exception ... here is the error I am getting
************************************************************************************
?ex
{"Load report failed."}
Data: {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal}
HelpLink: Nothing

I also did run CRRedist2005_x86.msi from the location "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports" . I am not sure I should run it on my development box but I did still I get the same access denied exception.
Any inputs on this?
Thanks,

by right clicking the login control we can select smart tag . In that we can apply security settings On different users and also on folders. Can we also do that programmatically without using that wizard.
thanks in advance.

By programatically do you mean at runtime? You can make the settings manually in the web.config, which is how the Website Configuration utility works.
only two letters away from being an asset

Hi All,
I have a search technique in my page. I use asp.net with vb.net and use access database. My following query does not pack record.
Select cust_order_ship.VAT, cust_order_ship.TAX from cust_order_ship, cust_order where cust_order_ship.order_id = cust_order.order_id and cust_order.order_date >=#11/05/2007# and cust_order.order_date <=#13/05/2007#
while record exist on Date 12/05/2007.
When I give Date start and end date 12/05/07, then it does work.
What can be the problem .
Can any one help me
Thanks in Advance.

This is just a guess, but I think a end date of 13/05/2007 is not valid.
I would try 12/05/2007

Hi
I'm using the following code to try and retrieve the current value of a database field to set that as the initial value of a dropdownlist in an editable datagrid.
Function GetSelectedIndex(StatusID As String) As Integer
'Loop through the DataSet DS
Dim iLoop As Integer
Dim DT As DataTable = DS.Tables("Statusds")
For iLoop = 0 To DT.Rows.Count - 1
If Int32.Parse(StatusID) = Int32.Parse(DT.Rows(iLoop)("StatusID")) Then
Return iLoop
End If
Next iLoop
End Function
I get the following error - 'IndexOutOfRangeException: StatusID'
when I remove the selectedindex function call I can use the list to update the database so seems to be a problem with my coding to retrieve the current value.
The table I'm using has StatusID as the primary key field and 'Status' as the field I'm using for the ddl.
any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Rob

I would guess you are trying to set the SelectedIndex before the dropdown is loaded. You would need to bind the dropdown first and then try to set the SelectedIndex.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I am calling the getselectedindex function after I've populated the dropdown. Not sure where I could be going wrong here!
Rob

|
|
|

Well, if you debug into the code and can see what the Getselectedindex is returning, you should be able to look at the items in the drop down and tell if that index exists. I am guessing that somehow the dropdown still isn't bound so the items don't exist yet.

Hi,
You have declared iloop as Integer. In dot net if we do not initialize the intiger it will take it as -1 as the initial value. So assign it 0 or 1 as
Dim iLoop As Integer = 0
This should work.....

Kaps

Thanks kaps,
Was another small problem I needed to sort but your suggestion got me past the initial error so I've got it all working now!
Much appreciated!

Hi All,
I have a web application that generates crystal reports. Version used is 9.2.3.97. If the end users windows is XP i can export these reports to (pdf, excell, word...) else if windows 2003 i got an error saying:"Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\temp_37248246935.rpt Failed to load report".
Solutions tried so far:
1.What windows are you using? What service pack?
Windows Server 2003 – SP1
2.What upgrades/updates/installations have you conducted lately?
Installed the CR9.2 Redistributable package.
3.Have you conducted any changes on the level of admin group?
No (Added the IUSR_ and IWAM_ users to the admin group… didn’t work.. so I removed them.)
4.Where are you noticing this error, online or offline? If online, is it working offline?
I only load the report within an ASPX page. Can’t test them offline since the data comes from a dataset at runtime.
5.Do you have Crystal reports installed on your machine? If yes, which version?
Yes, Crystal reports 9.2.3.97
6.Was the Crystal reports generating PDF files before? then it suddenly stopped.
No
7.Are you being able to convert the report to any other type other than PDF?
No (tried Excel and Word)
8.Where are you saving the report used in the aspx page?
Not saving it, Using the Response.Write to render it into the page directly. The temporary files are handled by CR. (I believe stored on C:\Windows\Temp)
9.Have you tried to install any hot fixes for Crystal Reports and .NET?
Yes… Installed the Service Pack 3 for Crystal Reports 9.
NB: We only get the problem on Windows Server 2003… the configuration works fine on XP and WS 2000.

I have a requirement to show two instances of the same wizard on 1 page.
The problem I am having is that when I hit the next button on one wizard it validates the step it relates to but then also validates the steps on the other wizard.
One way I thought of to solve this problem is by assigning the controls on each step to their own uniquely numbered validation group. And then wiring the next button on each step to the same validation group.
Is this the best approach ?

As per our requirement i have created a word report with password.
And i am exporting it to the client system.
It works fine in some system. But in some client system the gif images are not correctly loaded.
For all the clients the images are correctly generated at the server(i commented the code of deleting the file at the server).
And it also happened that for some clients where the images were not correctly loaded it began to load when tried another day. And vice versa also happened yet another day. I really don't know why this inconsistancy is happening.
And i was checking out at the clients were Word 2000 was installed. As i was automating Word 2000(Word 9.0.2720) at the server.
Actually while creating the document at the server i am inserting a table containing those gif images, with some formatted headings in it...
And that table is made as a header for the word document...
I just copied the file from the client system where the image is not correctly loaded to the client system where the image is correctly loaded.
Found out that it is correctly loaded.
Again i opened the file through the network from the system where the images are correctly loaded. It was alright. And everything is displayed correctly.
Now feel that it is due to some client side settings at the desktop.
In Word 9.0 what are the sttings to be enforced to load images ?
If any body could tell me that i would be grateful....
And is there any way to enforce that settings while exporting the file to the client... Doubtful of that, as we will have to
change settings of the Word Application at client...but still...

Hi,
I am working on Repeater control in Asp.net 2.0 which has image button within it.
I want to fire image button click event to display the image in a large view.
Can anyone help me
Best Regards,

Hi there;
there is no probs in display of image in large view.
I also used the same earlier.
what i had done is use href where the image is going to display on your render control.
See the code below which i used dynamically, just look it
img = new HtmlImage();
an = new HtmlAnchor();
an.HRef = "Images/" + arr[count];
img.Height = 120;
img.Width = 100;
img.Alt = arr[count];
an.Title = arr[count];
img.Src = "Images/" + arr[count];
}
