VS2010 Crystal Report Crashes System when using 'Set DataSource Location..'

[Former Member]

Runtime ASP.NET 3.5

VS 2010

Under Database Fields (rt click) try Set DataSource Location... causes VS2010 to crash.

This is on an imported report from VS2008. VS2008 has no problem with the report.

Since this is a ASP.NET 3.5 program the internal property field

<ResGenToolArchitecture>Managed32Bit</ResGenToolArchitecture>

has been set in the project in order to allow the code to compile w/out errors.

What is solution for Crystal Report Set DataSource Location?

Hi Ken,

Search first this issue has been reported and Kbased. Rename your c:\temp to c:\mytemp

And be sure to use SP1.

Thanks

Hi Ken,

Here's one link on the issue:

The reason is Old OS's used c:\temp as the default, now you are require to use %user%\temp as your temp folder as well as using the AppData folder for your app. If CR finds c:\temp it uses it and depending on what is in there it can cause Cr to crash, XML files have been know to do this.

Following MS's new rules on users temp folder should make your app Windows Compliant.

Thanks again

Don
