Type initializer exception in DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReports3

Hello Tony,

I am sorry for the late response. I was not at office at previous week. As I said before, it worked fine. Your latest sample project also works fine in here (deployment and development). I enclose the screenshots about my IIS settings. Perhaps, we have different settings in our AppPool?

Regards,
Handy

I'm just following up on my January 20, 2012 response to see if my sample has been tested. Since I sent it, I have dowloaded updates for the WebGrid 7 and it still will not export when deployed in a 64-bit only app pool. It will export on my local machine when running in a 64-bit only app pool, but I don't consider that valid since that is where I have the developer tools.

Is there some IIS 7 setting or other configuration setting that could cause the grid to allow exporting in an app pool that is set to allow 32-bit applications, but not one that is set for only 64-bit?

Hi Handy,

I have reproduced this error by creating a test project and deploying it to Windows Server 2008 R2 in an IIS 7 App Pool that has the Allow 32-bit applications property set to false. It seems that the only time the export works successfully in a 64-bit environment is when it is running on my local machine where I have the developer tools installed. I have included the solution in the attached file. We are going to download the latest evaluation version of the WebGrid to see if it is maybe just an issue with our licensed version 7.

Thank you,

Tony

Hello Tony,

In my last video, it was development. I tried now in deployment and works fine. Since, it is in deployment, you would need to remove all Intersoft assemblies that referred to GAC in your web.config. Then, add those assemblies to your project bin folder.

Handy

Hi Handy,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm doing some more research on this, and was able to get it to work on my Windows 7 64-bit system with my app running in 64-bit mode, but my system is not a deployed system. I am a developer and have the WebGrid developer tools installed locally with the WebGrid dlls in the GAC. Our deployed systems, of course, do not have the developer tools and do not have the dlls in the GAC. They are just in the bin directory of our application.

Is there a requirement that the dlls be in the GAC for a deployed 64-bit system? Was the sample you showed in the video on your development machine, or a deployed system? So far, that is the difference I see on my end. I'm hoping to get my hands on a deployed test system and try a few things like putting the dlls in the GAC to see if that fixes it.

Thanks,

Tony

Hello Tony,

I am sorry for the late reply. Lili was not longer working at Intersoft anymore. Please allow me to help you. Based on the error it seems there are another Active Report besides Intersoft Active Report. Please remove them because Intersoft exporting might be crashed. Please also check GAC (C:\windows\assembly). Please ensure if there are no other Active reportes except, Intersoft. I attached you my video recording. As you can see it works fine in windows server 2008 R2.

Regards,
Handy

I work with Siva and I'm wondering if there is any update on this issue that has been out here since March of 2011. We just encountered this again when our application is running in 64-bit mode with Enable 32-bit applications set to false for the app pool our application is running in. The export capabilities work fine when Enable 32-bit applications is set to true, but not when it is set to false.

Thank you,

Tony

Hello

We have a 64 bit web application running in IIS 7 using the IS Web grid components. The WebGrid is working fine but the export capability of the grid is not working in 64 bit.

It appears the grid is using external components for Export. Are there 64 bit version of dlls for these external components used by the Web grid. The dlls in question are

ActiveReports.dll

ActiveReports.XlSExport.dll

ActiveReports.PdfExport.dll

ActiveReports.HtmlExport.dll

ActiveReports.TextExport.dll

ActiveReports.RtfExport.dll

ActiveReports.TIFFExport.dll

At this point, none of the exports is working in our application. Would you be able to investigate this and get back to us on the possible resolutionf for it.

Thanks

Siva
