Here’s how to configure ActiveReports from Data Dynamics so that it works with your Iron Speed Designer application.
Step 1: Install ActiveReports version 4.2.1.1238 in your machine.
Step 2: ActiveReports version 4.2.1.1238 works only with .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 2.0.
Step 3: Start Iron Speed Designer. Then add an ActiveReports WebViewer control onto your application web page (File, New, Panel...).
Step 4: Use the Configuration Wizard to configure the control (Quick Layout, Panel, Configure...).
Step 5: Add the following to the <httpHandlers> element in your application’s Web.config file in your application. You must do this for every application using an ActiveReports control.
<add verb="*" path="*.ArCacheItem" type="DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.WebCacheAccessHandler, ActiveReports.Web, Version=4.2.1.1238, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add verb="*" path="*.Rpx" type="DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.RpxHandler, ActiveReports.Web, Version=4.2.1.1238, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
<add verb="*" path="*.ActiveReport" type="DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.CompiledReportHandler, ActiveReports.Web, Version=4.2.1.1238, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" />
Step 6: Start the Microsoft IIS web server. Under ‘Default Website’, select your application’s virtual directory.
Step 7: Open the Properties dialog for this virtual directory. On the Home Directory tab, click the Configuration... button.
Step 8: On the Mapping tab, check the Extension column to see whether .ArCacheItem appears.
Step 9: If .ArCacheItem does not appear, click the Add button.
Step 10: Browse to
...\<Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
or
...\<Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
depending on the .NET Framework version used by your application.
Step 11: Look for dynamic link libraries (*.DLL) in the selected .NET Framework folder.
Step 12: Choose aspnet_isapi.dll and click ‘Open’.
Step 13: Enter ".ArCacheItem" in the Extension text box.
Step 14: Select ‘Limit to’ and enter "GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG".
Step 15: Make sure the "Script engine" checkbox is checked and the "Check that file exists" checkbox is unchecked.
Step 16: Click OK.
Note: If the OK button is disabled, press the Tab key several times to enable it. This is a bug in Microsoft Windows.
Step 17: Build and run your application.
