hello

i am using the reporting successfully but keep getting an error lately.
it is a known error that serialization is not possible in asp state server. i had this error before and fixed it using the forums here with replacing some types that can handle serialization.
but now the same website with same assemblies works on my development machine and on one website of our hosting servers.
but on another website on the same server i am getting the serialization error.

do you have any hint where the problem might be? maybe a rights issue within the os?
or do you have a suggestion how to test where the issue is?

this is crucial because we just started publishing our website for a new customer and now the reporting does not work

any help highly appreciated
regards

Hi Ibrahim Imam,

The easiest way to go would be to check the web.config files and see what differs from the web.config of the website that works properly. Also note that such exception might surface if you try to use objects which do not implement ISerializable for Report Datasource.

Kind regards,

hello

i rechecked everything,  had the exact same config files (except database connection) and version of the website but nothing solved my problem.

now i checked the security configurations of the server again and i found out that the user identity of the web and application pool did not have the sufficient rights for the windows temp folder.
i gave this user now read, read&execute, list folder contents and it works now - maybe that information may help somebody in a similar situation.

regards
