Hello all!

My issue is the following

BC30389: 'C' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'.

Presently using VS.NET 2003 1.1 on Personal IIS Server V5.X attempting using VB.NET over C# for code behind.

Certainly don't like using absolute path. Still when I am constructing the .aspx page in the design view it shows the report fine. When I debug and view the item on the we it will give this error.

When I try placing it in double quotes same thing occurs.

When I try using \\ over \ in the path no better results.

What makes me ill is that when I try non-web vb.NET projects not a single issue.

Any help or insights needed. And yes I started this mess with the ASP Alliance article and some optimism. Still I think they are with the lousy program and even worse documentation.

Knife in the back was finding the examples at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Crystal Reports\Samples\Code and having them work fine.

Why will my simple pulls from a database not work then?

I'm having the same problem. I've tried changing permission on the folder and moving the rpt file to the same directory as the web app. None of this worked. Please help.

 I have found the answer. Try moving the .rpt file to the same directory as the page then use Server.MapPath("FileName.rpt").

You can have the report in whatever directory you choose but just make sure to use server.mappath to indicate the path.

For example if you put the .rpt in a folder named "Reports" in the same directory as the webform.aspx then you would use:

Server.MapPath("Reports") & "\FileName.rpt"

To sum it all up use

ReportSource='<%# Server.MapPath("FileName.rpt") %>'
in the design view

OR use

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Server.MapPath("FileName.rpt")
in the run-time code.
