Load Report Failed - Report Application Server Failed error at runtime

[Former Member]

Hello, I'm pretty new to Crystal Reports so please bear with me.

I just installed CR 2008 on my development box, which is running VS2005 .NET 2.0. I changed over all of my assembly references in my web.config to the new version:

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Report, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Viewing.ReportSource, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>

Also the webpage that is displaying the ReportViewer object has this reference as well:

<%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"
    Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>

Now, in my code behind I am simply trying to open a pre-built crystal report that came in the sample pack

When I try and do this in our already built website I get an error:

"Load report failed"

With the inner exception saying:

"The Report Application Server failed"

This same piece of code works perfectly if I build a new website, however when I try and impliment this into our existing code base I get the error shown above. Also the samples I've used all use .NET 3.5 and the website is in 2.0. I'm not sure if that is a factor or not but that is also another piece of information that could be useful.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you're time.

Considering I believe it was ignoring my line breaks and posting everything together earlier when I had my cs file and stack trace on the same post, I will just post those seperately:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;

public partial class Report_Viewer_Crystal_CrystalView : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    private ReportDocument reportDoc;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         if (!IsPostBack) ConfigureCrystalReports();
    }
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
    {
        reportDoc = new ReportDocument();
        reportDoc.Load(@"C:\CorrectFilePath\SampleReport.rpt");
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = reportDoc;
     }
}
