Deploy Web Applications | ActiveReports 14 .NET Edition

These assemblies are added automatically when you add controls to forms or report controls to code-based section reports, but Visual Studio does not do this with XML-based (RPX and RDLX) reports.

Follow Microsoft's instructions to install each of the following on your Web server:

The Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.6.2 or higher
ASP.NET version 4.6.2 or higher (must be the same version as the Framework)
ASP.NET Core with .NET Core 2.1 and above.
Internet Information Services (IIS) version 8

Make sure your project is deployed to a virtual directory in IIS.
To map requests from the page with the WebViewer control to your virtual directory, paste the <base> tag with a virtual directory name inside the <head> tag of the page containing the WebViewer control. In this case, all requests to backend assemblies will include the specified virtual directory name. For example,
<head>
<base href="/VirtDirName/">
</head>

Depending on your project, you may need to set permissions to allow ActiveReports access to data or folders.

Some examples of required permissions on the server:

If you are saving files (e.g. PDF or RDF exports) to a folder on Windows machines, the ASPNET user ID needs Write access to that folder.
Windows is user configurable, so use the name assigned to the ASPNET user instead.
If your application reads anything from any folder, assign Read access to it.
If your reports run on any networked data source (e.g. SQL, Access, etc.) assign Read access to it.
If you use CacheToDisk, assign IsolatedStorageFilePermission to it.
