I'm developing an ASP.NET 4.0 Web Forms application in VS2013 using Windows 8.1 / 64-bit. Crystal Reports runs fine in Debug mode from Visual Studio but when I've tried deploying it on different servers, I'm getting a variety of problems:
- Sometimes the "type initializer" error shown in the title appears.
- Sometimes just a dark gray background appears where the report normally would.
I've read through everything I can find on the Internet and tried several things but cannot get this problem resolved.
Assuming that the app will only ever be deployed to a 64-bit version of Windows, what are the correct steps I should take, both with Visual Studio and with the Merge Modules, to get things running properly?
Hoping someone can help!
