The type initializer threw an exception

[Former Member]

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008. Adding the CrystalReportViewer and running the application, my project stops and displays this error:

"The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.ReportSourceFactory' threw an exception."

and I'm not able to understand the problem...

I paste here the details of the error

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled

Hello,

The system removed all the line feeds and carrage returns but it looks like you have a permission issue on the resources.

What verion of the Cr assemblies are you using and which ones are you including in your application?

Thank you

Hi Don,

I'm using Cr Version 12.1.0.892 and regarding the references included in the applications are 12.0.1100.0

Thank you

Hi Paolo,

What operating system are you using, XP, Vista, or ??? and 32 bit of 64 bit?

Can you run Process Monitor ( www.sysinternals.com ) and trace each line to see what resources it's trying to access and getting denied?

Thank you

Don
