Let's concentrate on the fact that the ASP.NET demo app you provide (the one which the "http://localhost/TeeChartForNET/index.aspx" shortcut points to) does not run properly under IIS 7, on Windows 7, either 32-bit or 64-bit. Can you tell me how to make this demo run properly?

I suspect the problem may be specific to IIS 7, and/or 64-bit Windows 7. I know these are Microsoft products, hence technically not your responsibility, but since IIS is the only way to host ASP.NET applications, and 64-bit Windows 7 is now in widespread use, I suggest it IS your responsibility to help users get past this problem.
Have you had the TeeChartForNET demo application running under IIS 7, on 64-bit Windows 7? HAS ANYONE DONE THIS SUCCESSFULLY? If so, please post a short reply below.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			// Put user code to initialize the page here
			if ((string)Request.Params["SampleID"]=="0")
			{
				string fname = (string)Session["fileName"];
				string path = "http://"+webServer+"port/TeeChartForNET/"+fname;				
				Response.Redirect(path);				
			}
			else
			{
				string DemoID = Request.Params["SampleID"];
				string DemoParentID = Request.Params["ParentID"];

				string strID ="";
				string strParentID="";
				string strTitle="";
				string strSamplePage="";
				//string strSeqOrd="";
				string strParentNodePath="";
				string val="";

        string xmlFile = "http://" + webServer + ":port/TeeChartForNET/SampleList.xml";
        HttpWebRequest rqst = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(xmlFile);
        rqst.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        HttpWebResponse rsp = (HttpWebResponse)rqst.GetResponse();

This is the same answer you have given everyone. I have ensured that IIS_IUSRS has full read/write permissions in the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart for .NET 2011 4.1.2011.07280\Examples\TeeChartForNET folder and all subfolders. As for GetChart.aspx.cs and setting TempChart=Session, I have done this in my own code, and it appears that you have done it for your TeeChartForNET demo. (However I can't tell for sure, since your latest install package includes the useless TeeChartForNET.suo file, but not the corresponding .csproj or .sln files which I would need to actually open your demo project in VS2010.)

1. Added IIS_IUSRS to the access control list for the folder
2. Installed it manually using the "Add Application" function of the IIS Manager

1. All your .aspx files had TempChart set to "HttpHandler"; I replaced this with "Session"
2. Some of your .aspx files had GetChartFile set to just "GetChart.aspx"; I changed this to "/TeeChartForNET/GetChart.aspx"
3. I replaced your Web.config file with the simpler one from your WebSite2 example, adding

   Code: Select all

   <add name="TeeChartConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TeeChartForNET\SampleData\TeeChart.mdb"" providerName="System.Data.OleDb" />
   

   to the <configuration> section
4. I made a copy of your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart for .NET 2011 4.1.2011.07280\Sample data
   folder, changed the name to SampleDataand put it is the TeeChartForNET root folder
5. Added IIS_IUSRS to access control list for the TeeChartForNET folder
6. Put the whole TeeChartForNET folder in C:\inetpub\wwwroot
7. Manually added to IIS 7 using "Add Application" in the IIS Manager, specifying alias as "TeeChartForNET"
