FAILED TO LOAD CRYSTL32.OCX

Description:
This error is displayed when you have used reports in your projects and your reports are builds in Crystal Reports 8.5.

Reason:
Error is because of Crystal Report Viewer.

Solution:
Install Crystal Report 8.5 and problem solved

BC30560: 'CrystalReportViewer' is ambiguous in the namespace 'CrystalDecisions.Web'.

---

This error drove me crazy but I found the fix if anyone is interested:

On the HTML Behind the Form there are duplicate declarations for the Prefix tag:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cr" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" %>

My error was caused by having one for version 10.x and this one for version 9.x
I deleted the one for version 10.x and the error went away.

What is a favicon?

What is a favicon?

Notice the red “Y!” symbol that appears in the left-most area of the address bar in Internet Explorer graphic below. Look familiar? Yep, that’s Yahoo’s favicon. These favicons (favorites icons), sometimes called “bookmark icons,” appear after adding a website with a favicon to the favorites menu in Internet Explorer and certain other browsers.

Favicons also appear in the favorites menu after a page is added. Most anyone who’s roamed the Internet and bookmarked sites of interest has noticed favicons showing up in the favorites menu like this:

They also often appear in the Windows Start menu after installing a program as shown here:

Creating a favicon

A favicon should be 16 X 16 pixels with 16 colors and the file name should be favicon.ico. IconEdit32 is a good freeware program that allows you to create favicons as well as icons of other sizes and color depths. IrfanView is an excellent freeware image viewer that supports the icon (.ico) image format. You can use it to shrink one of your regular images to a 16 X 16 size, then decrease the colors to 16 and save as a “.ico” file. I like to use IrfanView to get an image down to specifications, then edit it with IconEdit32. Remember, if you don’t save it as “favicon.ico,” it won’t work. Also, don’t just shrink an image to icon size and rename it with a “.ico” file extension. That won’t work either because it’s not a real icon file.

Installing a favicon on your website

Simply upload the file, favicon.ico to the root web directory of your hosted website with your favorite FTP program, Microsoft FrontPage, Dreamweaver MX or whatever. Make sure your favicon file is named “favicon.ico.” When someone bookmarks your site with a browser that supports favicons, your favicon will appear. Alternatively, you can use this code between the <\head><\/head>(x)HTML tags:

<\head>
<\link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >
<\link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<\title>abc<\/title>
<\/head>

NOTE: PLEASE REMOVE FORWARD SLASHES (\) FROM HTML TAGS. IF YOU DON'T REMOVE THEM THE CODE WILL NOT WORK.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

Purpose and Description of svchost.exe

File purpose and description:
svchost.exe is a program that would have arrived on your computer the day you purchased it. Always verify the exact disk location as shown below, since many spyware and virus writers attempt to fool you by using similiar or same names but locate the file in other folders. Svchost.exe is a program which is a critical windows program which monitors programs, manages dll's, and controls loading of system processes. You will find multiple occurances of this running. This will always be running and you cannot kill this task. This file is considered safe and is not spyware or virus related, however, make sure the file is not located at c:\svchost.exe, as many viruses and spyware programs have used this name to confuse you, and several viruses put this svchost name in your root directory which is not the proper location for this file. Also pay close attention that svchost is not spelled scvhost, as these are not the same but look so close its hard to notice! (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
svchost.exe

File type:
This is an executable program.

File or folder location:
This program is located in your Windows\system32 folder, as in %SystemRoot% \System32\ svchost.exe

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, svchost.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of svchost.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options.

HTTP REQUEST TAG

By Implementing httpruntime tag I solved a webservice problem. Problem was that a report was not displayed and show me a time out error. By implementing this problem was resolved.

<\httpRuntime> Element

Configures ASP.NET HTTP runtime settings. This section can be declared at the machine, site, application, and subdirectory levels.

<\configuration>
<\system.web>
<\httpRuntime>

            maxRequestLength="size in kbytes"

            executionTimeout="seconds"

            minFreeThreads="number of threads"

            minFreeLocalRequestFreeThreads="number of threads"

            appRequestQueueLimit="number of requests"

            versionHeader="version string"/>

Optional Attributes

Attribute	Option	Description
appRequestQueueLimit		The maximum number of requests that ASP.NET will queue for the application. When there are not enough free threads to process a request, the requests are queued. Incoming requests will be rejected with a "503 - Server Too Busy" error when the queue exceeds the limit specified in this setting.
executionTimeout		Indicates the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET.
enable		Specifies whether the App Domain is enabled. at the current node and at the child node level. The default value is true.
	true	Specifies that the App Domain be enabled.
	false	Specifies that the App Domain be disabled. The application is not loaded in memory and any client request will cause a 404 error to be issued.
idleTimeOut		Specifies the App Domain idle time before it is shut down. The default value is 20 minutes.
enableKernelModeCache		Specifies whether output caching is enabled. At this time, this attribute is only relevant when IIS version 6.0 or later is installed. The output caching configuration and type of request determines whether content can be cached. In order to cache a response, the following criteria need to be met: Caching must be explicitly enabled by a page directive or by the use of the caching API. Caching must have an expiration policy so that the kernel knows when to discard it. Caching cannot have any variable headers or parameters. The request must not require any authentication.
	true	Specifies that caching be enabled.
	false	Specifies that caching be disabled.
maxRequestLength		Indicates the maximum file upload size supported by ASP.NET. This limit can be used to prevent denial of service attacks caused by users posting large files to the server. The size specified is in kilobytes. The default is 4096 KB (4 MB).
minFreeLocalRequestFreeThreads		The minimum number of free threads that ASP.NET keeps available to allow execution of new local requests. This number of threads is kept reserved for requests coming from the local host, in case some requests issue child requests to the local host during their processing. This avoids a possible deadlock with recursive reentry into the Web server.
minFreeThreads		The minimum number of free threads to allow execution of new requests. ASP.NET keeps this many threads free for requests that require additional threads to complete their processing.
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl		Indicates whether client-side redirects are fully qualified (in {HYPERLINK "http://server/path" } form, which is necessary for some mobile controls) or whether relative redirects are instead sent to the client.
	true	Specifies that client-side redirects need to be sent fully qualified. This is achieved by automatically converting all redirects that are not fully qualified to fully qualified form.
	false	Specifies that client-side redirects do not need to be automatically converted to the fully qualified form. false is the default.
versionHeader		Specifies the value of a version header that ASP.NET sends with every response. This attribute is used by Microsoft Visual Studio .NET to determine which version of ASP.NET is in use. It is not necessary for production sites and can be disabled either by removing the attribute from Web.config or Machine.config, or setting the attribute to an empty string (versionHeader="").

Example

The following example specifies HTTP runtime parameters for an ASP.NET application.

Copy Code

<\configuration>

  <\system.web>

     <\httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4000"

        useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
