[Reports.Net 2010.2.800.0] .NET 4 Framework, x64 => A generic error occurred in GDI+

kevin-farrelly · Post by **kevin-farrelly** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:59 am

Hello,

Recently we migrated our application from the .NET 3.5 to the .NET 4 framework. At first everything seemed to work fine, but yesterday we encountered an unexpected exception when trying to print a report.

The exception occurs when the application is run directly from the disk (from the bin folder) and *not* when running the application from Visual Studio 2010 (when the debugger/*.vshost.exe is attached/wrapped to/around it). After some research we decided to create a small demo application to demonstrate the problem. The demo application is added at the end of this message. We noticed the exception only occurs in the executable build with Solution Platform x64 in combination with the .NET 4 Framework, in Framework version 3.5 printing works fine in x64 built applications. The binaries of the different Solution Configuration/Platform combinations are also included in the attached sourcecode. Here is more additional information about the development environment:

Product:
Reports.Net 2010.2.800.0 (trial version)

Environment:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (x64), dutch ( accessed from Windows XP Professional SP3 (x32) clients through remote desktop (mstsc.exe) )

.NET Framework (default localization): version 4

Until this problem is resolved we are unable to do any major releases of our application. Help is much appreciated.
