I have an app written in .net v3.5 and Sql Server 2008, but the issue causing problems is that the app uses Crystal Reports to generate PDF invoices. In a shared server, medium trust environment this is not supported at my current hosting company (or at discountasp but for other licensing reasons). A full discussion of the problem is outlined in this SAP forum topic I created: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/thread?forumID=313&threadID=1288786 Does anybody know of a tool I can use in asp.net v3.5 to generate PDF in memory that would be supported in medium trust? Regards, Robert
Full trust is supported in our environment. You only need to update your web.config to specify full trust level. Are you on an IIS7/2008 Server or IIS6/2003 Server? ABCpdf is supported on IIS6/2003 Server but not on IIS7 /2008 Server. DiscountASP.Net ABCpdf Knowledge Base article Web Supergoo ABCpdf site
At discountasp, medium/full trust is not the issue, but rather the licensing fees for Crystal Reports. From Sales: "Unfortunately, we do not support Crystal Reports due to licensing issues and cost (licensing fees begin at $25K per processor). ". On my test servers, I have the solution running perfectly in full trust on IIS6/2003, but I need to deploy it on a commercial server with an economical plan (eg. shared server). This normally means medium trust and for Crystal Reports, this means the ability to put the dll in the GAC, which my hosting company will not do in a shared environment. I have looked briefly at ASPpdf, but it is clearly a Classic ASP product, supposedly supported on the .net platform, but I can't get it to work ("Hello World") on my x64, v3.5 environment. Can you confirm that if I persist that this product will be workable? After 20 support emails and no joy, I'm very skeptical.
Just to clarify, you have not sent 20 emails to our support department without an answer. I assume you are speaking about another host. We cannot say whether or not ABCpdf will be workable for you, since we don't know anything about your application. You could always set up an account with us and test it, without moving your domain from the current host. If you can't work with ABCpdf you can cancel the account within 30 days and get a full refund. If you can get it to do what you need, great, move your domain over and cancel the old host.
The 20 emails were to ASPpdf. The issue is not whether ASPpdf will work on your servers - I assume it does. The issue is that I can't integrate it into my app - doesn't seem to support .net applications. I thought someone on your forum may have some experience in developing ASPpdf solutions in .net to advise me whether it is worth pursuing as a solution.
We didn't install Persits ASPPDF on our servers. We only have ASPUpload, ASPJpeg, and ASPEmail.
