ASP.NET ReportViewer Native compiler return value: ‘[BC2001] file’ error

Recently restored one of our servers and I encountered this error while trying to view a report:

An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘[BC2001] file …. 

Solution:

1. Solving this seems so easy, first check the identity of the AppPool where the website is running:

2. From the command prompt type: %windir% and look for the temp folder. Add read/write permission to temp folder of windows to user in step 1.

Note: In other cases  the temp folder is located somewhere else, so to check where it’s located go to System Properties -> Advance -> Environment Variables. In the System Variables look  for the TEMP or TMP:

Asp.NET – ReportViewer Control not working on IIS7

We recently upgrade our webserver from II6.0 to IIS 7.5, everything works fine except the ReportingViewer control that renders the MSSQL Reporting in Asp.NET. It shows a blank page with missing icons in IE 6.0 and displays missing resource on FireFox.

To solve the problem, you need to add a new Manager Handler in IIS Manager.

Steps are as follows:

1. Open IIS -> Go to Sites – > {Your WebSite} -> In the IIS section double click Handler Mappings

Handler Mappings in IIS7

2.  On the Action (Right side) click Add Managed Handler and set the ff. properties to:

Request Path: Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd

Type: Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler

Name: ReportViewerWebControl

Click Ok.

Should be fixed now.
