Trying to print an ASP.NET Charting control behind the scenes in my web app. I think it is a permissions issue with the printer as everything is ok up until the point where my code calls:
chart.Printing.Print(false);
bool finished = false;
while (!finished)
{
finished = File.Exists(settings.GetValue("statusfile")); // file which indicates document was printed
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
At this point the page just freezes (or continues to load endlessly - infinite loop!) Understandably this is happening because I am 100% relying on the document being printed. I do intend to add a timeout, however, at the moment I am just trying to figure out why exactly the document is never being set to the printer!
I have given the account (which the AppPool is running under) permissions to all the relevant folders and even the pdf printer itself...Still nothing.
Am I missing something? Is there any issues with printing on the server side via ASP.NET? I have encountered some issues doing this via WindowsServices in the past not sure if it is a similar problem with ASP.NET websites.
Update
I updated the AppPool to give myself (admin) permissions and it is the same issue. So by the looks of things the job is never being sent to the printer. I can't seem to figure out why though...
Probably should have mentioned this in my original post....but I am invoking the printer through a referenced DLL, this code is not being called directly from my application (incase it matters). Also this runs fine on my Development machine which is running Windows 7 IIS7.0 where as the server is running Windows 2003 server with IIS6.0.
Update 2
I removed the while loop and just left in the chart.Printing.Print(false) line and turns out the document IS being sent to the printer. So the issue must be with the settings file not getting written which is why the loop never breaks out!
iam using the ReportViewer Control in Visual Studio 2008 for displaying the report on the page. When iam going to Click on Print button iam getting the below error. Unable to load client print control
I am getting an error : Unable to load Print control with the defalt print option of the report viewer
there is a RSClient.cab which we would need to install to get the print control running in every client but then all the clients in the organization would not have a the admin rights to install it.
I have googled and searched the forums for an answer to this but nothing seems to fit.
I have installed the SP1 release of SQL 2008 Report Viewer Distributable and the SP1 of 2005 as well. My report viewer control is pointing at version 9.0.0.0 in the page references and web.config.
The problem is when clicking on the print icon i get the ActiveX control install prompt, click install it disappears briefly and I then get the "Unable to load client print control error". This is happening on my development machine.
Under the C:WINDOWSDownloaded Program Files folder i have a control with the name {0D221D00-A6ED-477C-8A91-41F3B660A832} I have tried removing this and allowing the ActiveX to install again, but this has made no difference.
I have the "Unable to load print control" on two live web servers so want the control working on my development machine before i tackle the issue on the servers.
I've got a web app developed in VS 2008, using the .net 3.5 framework.Within the app I've got the reportviewer control. It's pointing to a report built in VS 2005 as my server uses SQL Server 2005, and therefore Reporting Services 2005.When I click the print button on the report viewer toolbar I get "Unable to load client print control".When I go to the report directly (http://servername/reports) and click the print button from there it works.I assume that it's to do with the versions I'm using. I do have the report viewer 2008 installed on the server.What's the best way to fix it? I'd rather not develop the app in VS 2005, but will if that's the only way.
after updating sqlserver2005Express to sp3 on our server (IIS and sqlserver2005 on the same machine with windowsserver2003 installed), we now receive the "unable to load client print control" on all clients from our aspx-application, built with vwd2008.It worked fine before the sp3 update. The rsclientprint.cab file resides in ...Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportserverin.I read through hundreds of posts and for my understandig it is important to have the right version of the rsclientprint.cab file. So I (again) updated the reportserver redestributebals2005 and 2008. After that I expected to have a new (version of) rsclientprint.cab file in the .in directory, but this file wasn't installed.
I need to pull data out for a chart and the following is what I have come up with. While it works I know there must be a more elegant way to get the same data in the same format.
give a code snippet which will explain how to use Binary streaming render type in ASP.Net Charting controls using $.ajax call in ASP.Net MVC Framework. ?
As you see above , we have more data in pie chart to plot and hence 3 DOTS appear at right bottom. Hence user cant see all the legends.Is it possible to have.say a tooltip on 3 DOTS so that when an user hovers,he sees entire / remaining legend list?
I am plotting a chart using charting control. The x-values are text values and y values are date values.
If there is same text multiple times, then the plotted chart has multiple bars of same value. I want the values for the same text to be on the same bar.
I am having a simple Azure cloud app(WebRole=ASP.Net MVC) which draws charts using ASP.Net Charting control. Chart RenderType = ImageMap Chart ImageLocation = "/Images/Chart_#SEQ(1000,1)" Number of app instances deployed on Windows Azure = 5 App contains a button which draws charts as per users parameters. When user clicks on this button, MVC action is called which provides necessary ViewData for drawing chart and returns a partial view which after getting rendered sends ImageMap and Image location to client.
When I try to draw charts from IE8 I always get the charts as per my parameters but when I simulataneously try to draw charts on FireFox sometimes I get wrong charts(wrong images). Is is due to roundrobin used - #SEQ(1000,1) or due to mutiple instances of my cloud app?
Now I am printing the data from model in mvc. I am also printing the documents, How I upload file how to print that particular documents which is related that particular user with the other data...
I'm trying to create an Activex control (similar to the Crystal Activex) to Print tag's from a Client side to a Com Port 1. I created a User control I can pass values to it etc, but It won't Print.
I have used calender web user control inside my project where i took textbox,button and calender...but after dragging onto my aspx page..i am unable to access this textbox,calender and button on aspx page..
I have created an image of barcode but it doesn' print properly in a zebra printer which has 203 dpi resolution. It comes in two pages. Barcode works but it prints two sticker one with barcode and one empty sticker.
I have a form with 4 multiline textboxes on it, however when user hits print button it only prints out what is on the screen and not entire contents of the textboxes. I have this javascript I created but it does not seem to be working..still will not print out entire content of texboes. On my Ascx page I am using the <div id="printdiv"> .
I am using MS Chart control (3.5), and have a requirement where I need to display 2 pie charts. The datapoints for the pie charts is set programatically. My doubts are as follows:
1. Can I display both the pie charts in a single chart control and area, or do I have to use two controls? (Currently I am using two controls)
2. How can I maintain the same size for both the pie charts? This is my main concern, since the pie sizes keep changing, depending on the number of datapoints. I tried using custom properties like "MinimumRelativePieSize", but it's not working.
I'm trying to define the parameters of my data source using a stored procedure. My Stored Procedure Syntax is perfect and i'm happy with that, i've just got trouble with connecting my parameters to my controls. I have 19 Parameters, of which i've managed to connect 17 to controls within my ASP.Net form (some to text boxes, some to ddls etc...)
However, i'm trying to connect a particular parameter to a control, but when i drop down my list of controls it's not visible? The control is within a hidden panel so i've un-hidden it and it's still not there. I've even commented out the panel and tried that but i can't find this control! I just cant seem to get this control to appear in the list.
Has any one seen anything like this before at all?
I have designed a report for printing cards and am able to print it on my local machine but when i upload on the server, i can preview the report but when i click print through a pdf its coming out blank.
