Question

Load report failed

Asked by: WalterRautenbach

Hello,

I am receiving a "Load report failed" error when i try viewing reports on my website that contains embedded Crystal reports. When i begun receiving these errors, cleared out the temp folder "C:\WINDOWS\Temp", assigned modify, read write rights to IIS/WPG, set  impersonate="false" in my web config file, and it still didn't help and my code also caters for closing and disposing the report and utilizes the garbage collector. So i restarted IIS, which did do the trick, but is there any other way of prevent this error from occuring again, instead of restarting IIS, since my website utilizes sessions, and session values will be lost.

public ReportDocument myReport;
protected void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        if (myReport!= null)
        {
            myReport.Close();
            myReport.Dispose();
        }
        GC.Collect(); 
}

that is because you have reached maximum limit of report. You can use following code for that. for further explanation, have a look at following links

http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1205

public class ReportFactory
{
      public static Hashtable reportTable = new Hashtable();
     
      public static void CreateReport(string key, string path)
      {
            ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
            report.Load(path);
            reportTable.Add(key, report);
      }
  
      public static void CloseReport(string key)
      {
            ((ReportDocument)reportTable[key]).Close();
            ((ReportDocument)reportTable[key]).Dispose();
            reportTable.Remove(key);
      }
}

Thank you for the comment, what does the "key" reference, i understand the "path" is the path of the .rpt file.

actually that was not a good and full example, let me give you class code which I am using in my production. You can generate one class file for this and use it.

this is what I used in my ASPX page's code behind. Page's init event (not load event)

//class which I just gave
        ReportDocumentFactory reportDocumentFactory;
        //instance of report
        ReportDocument myDocument;
        //my dataset 
        ReportInvoice rptInvoice = new ReportInvoice();
        
        reportDocumentFactory = new ReportDocumentFactory(this.Cache);
        myDocument = null;
 
        string key = (string)ViewState["reportKey"];
 
        if (key != null)
        {
            myDocument = this.reportDocumentFactory.GetValue(key);

Thank you!!!

What is the namespace for ReportDocumentInfo? I am getting the following error '"The type or namespace name 'ReportDocumentInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference" when i try compiling your code.

 

by: RiteshShahPosted on 2009-04-07 at 05:54:56ID: 24086719

no namespace for that. You have to create on separate class for the code I gave you in post id 24085797. I have created ReportDocumentFactory.cs file under my APP_code folder of my website.

 

by: WalterRautenbachPosted on 2009-04-07 at 06:07:25ID: 24086862

i have created a separate class, but i get the following error "The type or namespace name 'ReportDocumentInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference"

 

by: RiteshShahPosted on 2009-04-07 at 06:09:33ID: 24086891

where did you put that class? and what is the name you gave to that class? I would recommend you to put it under app_code folder in root of your web directory. and give it a name ReportDocumentFactory.cs. Once you generate ReportDocumentFactory.cs file, copy my code which is in post # 24085797 and paste it in ReportDocumentFactory.cs

 

by: WalterRautenbachPosted on 2009-04-07 at 06:44:43ID: 24087233

I created the class within the root directory and the class is within the App_Code folder. Is the 'ReportDocumentInfo'  a variable which supposed to be declared with the class? Dictionary<string, string> so I presume 'ReportDocumentInfo'  is a string?

 

by: RiteshShahPosted on 2009-04-07 at 06:52:16ID: 24087322

reportdocumentinfo is another class and again needs to be save under app_code folder with name ReportDocumentInfo.cs

sorry I forget to attach its code before. below given is the code. Moreover, don't put any class under direct root folder

thank you, makes much more sense now. Another thing i want to ask you is, when you instantiate the class ReportDocumentFactory, was it not suppose  to be as follows
ReportDocumentFactory reportDocumentFactory=new ReportDocumentFactory (cache);
since the class ReportDocumentFactory expects an argument.

I have added your code and it is still not functional, therefore i am asking this question.

yes you can do like that also

ReportDocumentFactory reportDocumentFactory = new ReportDocumentFactory(this.Cache);

in aspx code I gave you, I have delare the class first and that instantiated. but you can do it in same line.
