Crystal Reports Images not loading in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I'm using Crystal Reports in a Webform inside of an MVC application. Images in the reports are not being displayed, however, on both the ASP.NET Development Server and IIS 7 (on Win7x64).

I know from a number of other questions similar to this that the CrystalImageHandler HTTP Handler is responsible for rendering the image, but I've tried all of the usual solutions to no avail.

So far, I have

1. Added the following to my appSettings (via http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg26882.html)

   <add key="CrystalImageCleaner-AutoStart" value="true" />

   <add key="CrystalImageCleaner-Sleep" value="60000" />

   <add key="CrystalImageCleaner-Age" value="120000" />

2. Added the following httpHandler to system.web/httpHandlers (via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2253682/crystal-report-viewer-control-isnt-loading-the-images-inside-the-report)

   <add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>

3. Added the following to my Global.asax.cs (via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2006011/crystal-reports-images-and-asp-net-mvc) routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");

and routes.IgnoreRoute("CrystalImageHandler.aspx");

Any ideas as to why the images still 404?

Answer 1

Have you tried adding it to system.webServer/handlers? That should fix it on IIS7 but it is strange it doesn't work on the development server w/o that.
