xml report, dot net application and java.exe

[takis_karakatsanis]

Hello,

I have designed a report which reads its data from an xml file. Also, I wrote a C# .net application that automatically loads the report and produces a pdf file. The app consists of a single form.

It works as expected and produces the pdf, but then it refuses to close. It launches java.exe as it should (I read elsewhere that Crystal native xml driver is written in Java)... but then neither java.exe nor my app shut down properly. I have to close them by using the task manager.

Any ideas? I am using Crystal Reports XI rel.2 sp4 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, Takis;

Are you using the native XML driver and not the ADO.NET(XML) driver?

There is a known issue with that driver. See the following article:

Thanks Elaine

Yes, I was using the native XML driver. I already switched to ADO.NET(XML) and it works fine.
