Hi, You can set your connection string into web.config and fatch from it. Connection string in .NET 2.0 config file In the appSettings location, add a key named whatever you like to reference your connection string to. To read the connection string from code, use the ConfigurationSettings class. string connStr = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("myConnectionString"); Now you have the connection string loaded from web.config into your string variable in code. Connection string in .NET 3.5 (and above) config file Do not use appsettings in web.config. Instead use the connectionStrings section in web.config. To read the connection string into your code, use the ConfigurationManager class. string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

Please check your connection string. If you are connecting database of server itself you have to pass its credentials properly.

Hello Piyush sir, what I am doing is reading rpt data from "D:/Report/Sudent.rpt" and generating new pdf outside that Report folder. My problem is unable to load that rpt file from server.

Piyush Pansuriya · Answer

Hi, As you said you have Report folder into D: drive which contains student.pdf file. So in your path you have to add Report. byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("D:/Report/Student.pdf");

Mandar Shinde · Answer

Here is Following code which I am using in C# :- ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument(); reportDocument.Load( "D:\Report\Sudent.rpt" ); reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon( "root" , "password" , "localhost" , "Student" ); reportDocument.SetParameterValue( "studid" , studID); reportDocument.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "D:/Student.pdf" ); byte [] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes( "D:/Student.pdf" ); result = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes); return result; As I mentioned already that my rpt file is on "D" drive under "Report" folder. Here is my Angular code :- let pdfWindow = window.open( "" ); pdfWindow.document.write( " + encodeURI(data) + "'> " ); In data I am getting which is returning from C# please give me sugesstion related to web.config.

Hello Piyush sir, will you ellaborate more , which changes should be done in web.config. I am just asking you because I am very new to this technology.

You have to configure into appsetting.json or web.config file. While publishing on server, you have to give permission to access that folder to IIS users.
