My server has Windows 2003 and runs IIS 6.0 I have a number of websites in asp.net 2.0 that display crystal reports on the web using crystal report viewers. The reports are programmed in CR 11R2.
I recently bought Visual Studio 2008 and CR 2008 and upgraded all of the websites to framework 3.5 and CR 2008. The new crystal report viewer looks a lot nicer than the previous ones but it seems to have some major flaws and this weekend I rolled everything back to the previous version of CR.
Basically there are two problems.
1) When clicking on the export or print buttons in the CR 2008 CrystalReportViewer, a user gets a downloading bar at the top of the page in IE asking them if they want to download the file. After clicking OK, they have to export it again. This happens everytime someone tries downloading a file. THe only way that seems to allow people to get around this is to save the websites as a "trusted site" in IE and then change the download settings. I have clients you don't use IE and their secure browsers don't allow the exports at all. Previously, the files downloaded without any warning and where available on all browsers.
2) It takes a really long time to load the viewer in CR 2008. It can take 10-20 seconds to just load the viewer on a webpage, when before it only took 1 second.
Is there anyway to get around these two apparent shortcomings with the new CR 2008?
Thanks for your help-
