error: Invalid temp directory in chart handler configuration [c:\TempImageFiles\]

Question

My charts are run fine in my XP VS2008 environment.  But when I deploy to the Window 2003 server, it gave me an error: 

Invalid temp directory in chart handler configuration [c:\TempImageFiles\].

We already installed .net 3.5 SP1 and the new charts controls on the server.  Is there anything else we need to set?

Many thanks

Answer 1

Are you certain your asp.net account can write to that directory? Do you get an exception if you add this to your Page_Load handler?

File.CreateText(@"C:\TempImageFiles\test.txt");

I found a solution in this forum.  I changed the web config as:

From   
<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=c:\TempImageFiles\;" />

To
 <add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;" />


then it work on the IIS server. 

Many thanks for all of the help.
