2998229 - Temp files, example tmpC78B.tmp, being left behind in a WEB app using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

In my WEB application using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio I am seeing a lot of temp files being left behind.

When I close the browser it does remove the typical CR temp files:

• ~cpe29956_18516_{8207DF6D-827D-41B7-A0BC-132F91B68494}.tmp
• report2 29956_16628_{0EAE3577-1150-4D4A-95F1-BD6CD5719CF2}.rpt
• ~DF8669ECA175A8925B.TMP

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

1. Create a simple WEB app in .NET
2. Open a simple report with saved data, so not log on info is required
3. Run the Web app using IISExpress, default web server in VS.
4. Watch the C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Temp folder and notice the temp file is created, example tmpC78B.tmp
1. NOTE: you may see the files in the System temp folder here: C:\Windows\Temp
5. When the Browser is closed the CR temp files are deleted but this VS temp file is not.

When opening the TMP file this is what you see:

<LoggerInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:visualstudio:tracelog" name="intellitrace_00007504_01d6c4ca122ce039_7e55e721-1f90-43bd-8ca7-544aca313da6" logPath="C:\WINDOWS\Temp\iisexpress.exe_201127_063202_7e55e721-1f90-43bd-8ca7-544aca313da6.iTrace" processId="21644" creationTime="0" sessionId="1" keepAlive="false" collectionPlanPath="">
<ClientInfo id="29956" creationTime="132509611221377081" sessionId="1" name="iisexpress" processBitness="32" clrVersionMajor="4" commandLine="" />
</LoggerInfo>

 Visual Studio option enabled

If you run the App in IIS in Release mode those tmp files are not created.

Or turn intellisense option off as follows:

1. In Visual Studio click on Tools menu bar
2. Options
3. IntelliTrace
4. Check off the box - Enable TelliTrace
