Unable to load report from file after upgrading to 2010.1.700

[mvines]

I just upgraded to 2010.1.700 of Reports.Net and the Web Designer. When I verified that I had installed the new dlls and updated the config and aspx files appropriately I came across the following exception on StiReport.Load.

Object of type 'Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiWatermark' cannot be converted to type 'Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiWatermark'.

Code: Select all

Stack Trace:

The file does in fact exist, and it did load under 2009.3.600 with the same code.

Code: Select all

StiReport stiReport = new StiReport();
stiReport.Load(fileName); // exception is on this line.

Hello,

This error say that on your computer exist two different versions of same assembly. Please check GAC, Program Files Stimulsoft installation, referenced assemblies, web.config, bin folders.

Thank you.

That was the issue, I probably should have figured that one out on my own.

Thanks for your time Jan
