  I went through the update process for ActiveReports from AR version 11 to AR version 17 using the “Convert to ActiveReports 17”. I got some errors, I had to load some different references, etc.

  Now that I’m not getting any errors in Visual Studio 2022 just by loading, cleaning and rebuilding the project, I am getting an error upon trying to view the reports, as noted in the attachment screenshot.

  • This is a web form using aspx.
  • Using WebViewer, version 17.1.2.0
  • Using sectionreports at this time
  • Load the report into the page, putting it in rptMAIN

  if (rptMAIN != null) {
       WebViewer1.Report = rptMAIN;
       WebViewer1.ReportName = "thing";
       rptMAIN.ShowParameterUI = false;
       SetWebViewer1();
       WebViewer1.Visible = true;
  }
  

  
  
  Code for SetWebViewer1:

  protected void SetWebViewer1 () {
  	/* For the Acrobat viewer */
  	WebViewer1.ViewerType = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.ViewerType.AcrobatReader;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.DisplayMode = DisplayMode.None;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.FitWindow = true;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.ImageQuality = ImageQuality.Highest;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.ExportBookmarks = true;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.HideMenubar = false;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.HideToolbar = false;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.HideWindowUI = false;
  	WebViewer1.PdfExportOptions.CenterWindow = false;
  }

  Help?

  Hi Michael,

  The error ‘Bad response export content’ can be thrown due to various reasons, mainly due to missing references in a project.

  We will suggest you uninstall the ‘GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf’ package and then reinstall the same (v17.1.2).

  However, if this does not resolve your issue please try providing a simplified sample that emulates the issue. So we can narrow down the issue.

  Regards,
  
  Anand

  Sorry, I’ve been busy with a number of things and trying different things.

  The uninstall and reinstall of GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.PDF (and all the other pieces that went with it) didn’t help fix the issue.

  I have created a simple web app to test and it doesn’t work there either.

  Here is a link to the 7-zip file:

  Hopefully you can quickly see what stupid thing I did or didn’t do.

  Thanks!

  Hi Michael,

  We could observe you have specified a “Viewer.ReportName” after specifying a “Viewer.Report”, due to which the Viewer searches for a Report with the specified name in your project’s directory instead of using the Code-Based SectionReport that you assigned to the Report property of the Viewer.

  Commenting out the 'Viewer.ReportName" line fixes the issues.

  Please find attached an updated sample for the same.
