1542084 - ExportToHttpResponse throws exception - Property evaluation failed

• Exporting a report using the Crystal Reports .NET SDK.
• ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType,System.Web.HttpResponse,Boolean,String)
• ExportToHttpResponse throws an exception - 'Property evaluation failed'

• Visual Studio 2008
• Crystal Reports 2008
• Windows XP

Try
	boReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("MyReport.rpt"))
		' this line throws exception
	boReportDocument.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, False, [String].Empty)
Catch ex As Exception
	Dim s As String = ex.Message
End Try

The issue has been identified and logged under Problem Report ID ADAPT00765364.

The error is likely caused because Response.End() is used inside the ExportToHttpResponse() method.

It is a known issue that Reponse.End() causes the thread to abort. This is by design.

See Microsoft KB312629 Article for more info

The following code was used instead of the method ExportToHttpResponse

Try
	boReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("MyReport.rpt"))
	Dim oStream As System.IO.Stream = Nothing
	Dim byteArray As Byte() = Nothing
	oStream = boReportDocument.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat)
	byteArray = New Byte(oStream.Length - 1) {}
	oStream.Read(byteArray, 0, Convert.ToInt32(oStream.Length - 1))
	Response.ClearContent()
	Response.ClearHeaders()
	Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
	Response.BinaryWrite(byteArray)
	Response.Flush()
	Response.Close()
	boReportDocument.Close()
	boReportDocument.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
	Dim s As String = ex.Message
End Try
