Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I am trying to create a windows service to export report to pdf files.(StiReport version 2013.2)
This service will create a thread for each export request. inside the thread, we can open report, manipulate data source. But when we call StiReport.Render(false), it throws exception with the following call stacks.

The exact code runs fine in a console application. Can you share some light on this one? I suspect that might has something to do with the privilege of the thread's user, but why would Render() method accessing file/folder?

Thanks.

I think this is a problem on my end. When I created separate app domain for each thread, I did not set domain application base correctly. Once I set the application base to my assembly's directory, render and export works fine.

Thanks.
