ReportDocument crRpt;

string reportPath = "";

CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions cr_OutputToFile;

string s_FileSavePath = "";

string s_ReportName = "CertList";

string s_DateTimeStamp = "";

try

 

{

crRpt = new ReportDocument();

cr_OutputToFile = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions();

reportPath = Server.MapPath("Secure\\CIS\\rptMC_CertificationsList.rpt");

s_DateTimeStamp = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Month) + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Day) + Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Year);

s_DateTimeStamp += Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Hour)+Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Minute )+Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today.Second );

s_FileSavePath = Server.MapPath("Docs\\" + s_ReportName + s_DateTimeStamp + ".pdf");

//crRpt.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;

 

// crRpt.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

 

//cr_OutputToFile.DiskFileName = s_FileSavePath;

 

// crRpt.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = cr_OutputToFile;

 

crRpt.Load(reportPath);

crRpt.SetParameterValue("Start_Date", "02/01/2009");

crRpt.SetParameterValue("End_Date", "02/10/2009");

//crRpt.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "ExportedReport");

 

crRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\\report.pdf");

//crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = crRpt;

 

crRpt.Export();

crRpt.Close();

pv_HideButtons();

}

catch (System.Exception ex)

{

System.Console.WriteLine("{0} exception caught here.", ex.GetType().ToString());

System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);

}

finally

{

}

This code works to bring up a report in the report viewer (I have the report hard coded to an xml file) - but I get the following exception on the line: 

crRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\\report.pdf");

                CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
                {
                    CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                    CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
                    CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
                    CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
