"craxdrt9.dll" version "9.2.3.1368" errors at runtime with multiple threads with ApartmentState as STA or MTA

I would appreciate any help on the following:

Keep getting the the following error from "Crystal Reports":

- Using "C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Report Designer Component\craxdrt9.dll" version "9.2.3.1368"

Error on using multiple threads with thread.ApartmentState = ApartmentState.STA:

Code extract - C# / .net application:

References: Interop.CRAXDRT.dll

- Thread running the "processReport" method - ApartmentState - tried both STA & MTA
- Problem usually occurs in case of multiple threads or multiple calls within a thread

private static int DATA_INPUT_TYPE_ADO = 3;

private void processReport (
ref IReport iReport, // Report instance
System.Collections.Hashtable collReportDataRs, // Report data
ref bool m_btnCancelPressed // Cancel button
)
{
// Get the database
IDatabase iDatabase = (IDatabase) iReport.Database;

// Get the database tables
IDatabaseTables iDatabaseTables = (IDatabaseTables) iDatabase.Tables;

// Loop through the tables
int iTotalTables = iDatabaseTables.Count;
for ( int iTblCount = 1; iTblCount <= iTotalTables; ++iTblCount )
{
if ( m_btnCancelPressed == true )
return;

// Get table name
IDatabaseTable iDatabaseTable = (IDatabaseTable) iDatabaseTables[iTblCount];

// Get the relevant recordset from the collection passed
System.String bsTableName = iDatabaseTable.Name;

ADODB._Recordset rs = (ADODB._Recordset) collReportDataRs [ bsTableName ];
if ( rs == null )
{
throw new Exception( "Data not found: " + bsTableName );
}

// Set data for this table
iDatabaseTable.SetPrivateData( DATA_INPUT_TYPE_ADO, rs);
}
}Are any of Dlls missing?

"Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."

This is probably a simple wuestion but i would appreciate some help

I am trying to get and insert theuserId into a table called "Orders"

I got the user id as

Dim CustomerId As Object = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey.ToString

The button on click command is

worldshop.ShoppingCart.CreateOrder(CustomerId,...................

The Function Has the parameter for Customer Id as follows

Dim dbParam_CustomerId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_CustomerId.ParameterName = "@.CustomerId"
dbParam_CustomerId.Value = CustomerId
dbParam_CustomerId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String
command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_CustomerId)

When i run this I am getting the error message

"Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier."

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong

many thanks

Martin

What type is CustomerID defined as in the database? It sounds like it is NOT a string, but rather a uniqueidentifier (a GUID).|||

thanks for your reply. i got it sorted out

|||Do you mind sharing with us what your solution was? as I am having the same problem...|||

sorry about the delay in getting back to you

I was having the same problem. I solved it by instantiating the userid as an object

Dim userId As Object = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey

i passed the object to the function as a guid

ByVal userId As Guid
Dim dbParam_userId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_userId.ParameterName = "@.UserId"
dbParam_userId.Value = userId
dbParam_userId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.Guid
command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_userId)

last i put the guid into the database as char 36

@.UserId char (36)
