ReportProcessor - Render Xps

[Michael Bendtsen]

Hi

I have created my own WCF service which uses the ReportProcessor to render an Xps to be used in the WPF DocumentViewer control. It worked fine when using the ReportProcessor directly from the App. But at soon as I move it to a service it fails.

I have created unit test that proves that the ReportProcessor works fine.

I get the following exception:
Test method Dako.ReportingService.UnitTest.DakoReportServiceTest.TestRenderXpsWithServiceHost threw exception:  System.ServiceModel.FaultException: FixedDocument must contain at least one FixedPage..

And when I look at the Debug trace I see another error:

An error has occured while rendering the report: System.InvalidOperationException: The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this.

I have another test that also calls the service which passes.

What am I doint wrong?

Best regards,

Found a solution. Create a new thread, set the apartment state to STA.
