Cant add Crystal References in VS 2008 project

Hi
I have a VS 2008 environment. I have three dll references I want to add to my project and I dont see them in .NET or COM tabs in Add Reference dialog. Weird, I can see them good in other projects (references to GAC assemblies) of an existing project, but once I delete them, I cant add them again because they dont show up in the Add reference. How do I make them show up?
My dev environment is: Windows Server 2008 64bit, VS 2008. If I can add the reference, I am done with my project. Dll's I want to add are:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
CrystalDecisions.Shared
I looked at this link and he didnt explain how he added the references in registry. Does anyone know about this?

I believe you confusion is coming from not understanding how the product works instead of an issue with the product itself.
Your combining Crystal Reports Developer software, crystal runtime distributable, crystal .NET runtime all into one sentence and talking about installation order leads me to believe this is the case.
On your development machine you would have VS.NET installed, it comes with the free version of Crystal included (along with its .NET runtimes). If you want to integrate the stand alone version (say Crystal 2008) and use its .NET runtimes in your app you need to install it after VS is installed to allow it to integrate. VS.NET can't integrate to a product that is already installed as it would never look.
The crystal runtime distributable should never be installed on your development machine. You use the distributable to deploy the Crystal runtimes onto a server where you want to deploy your app. You just need to make sure you are using the runtimes that match the ones you are using in your app.
I hope that clears up some of the confusion.

Cant add Web Reference for web service

Hi all.
I cant seem to add a web reference to an outside web service.
I have tested some code in Visual Studio and it all works fine, but
now Im importing the code into my dreamweaver website.
I have went to "Window" menu and then "Components", and along
the right hand side the components tab opens. It has a drop down
list with "Web Services" in it. Underneath it, it says press the
"+" button to add the service. But there is no plus button! I have
looked at manuals, and it does show a "+" sign beside the drop down
box, but its not on my Dreamweaver!
I am using dreamweaver 8. This is a full product as it is at
my work.
Any help would be great.
Thanks, Paul.

Hi all.
Further to my previous post, I have noticed that my
colleagues install of dreamweaver seems to have this "+" sign in
the components panel, so I have tried to add the web service to the
page using his machine.
But I now come up with a different problem! I click on the
"Add using WSDL" from the drop down lost at top, but when I click
on the drop down for the "Proxy Generator" there is nothing in it.
When I go into the menu to edit the proxy's, I can see the one for
ASP.net VB which is the one I would be using, but when I click on
"Done" and go back to the page with the WSDL URL and the proxy,
nothing is showing in the proxy generator!
Can anyone shed light on this?

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

How to add assembly reference in Window Universal App project?

Hello All,
Thanks for reading my question. I'm migrating a Windows Phone project into the new universal environment, but I'm missing a place to add the assembly reference for the code. One instance that is, I'm using System.Net.Sockets, but it says "Sockets does
not exists in the namespace 'System.Net' (Are you missing an assembly reference?)". So do the case of Background.
In the old version, I can add the reference from right click on the "References" from the Solution Explorer, but it is not working in the Universal one.
Appreciated all your comment and support.
Vincent

WCF Add Service Reference Not Supported for Windows Phone 8.1 XAML Applications

Windows Phone 8.1 XAML applications does not support the System.ServiceModel namespace, and therefore you are not able to right click references in the project and choose Add Service Reference. The recommended solution is to add a REST endpoint
to your WCF endpoint, and access the WCF application through the REST endpoint using HttpClient.
Bret Bentzinger (MSFT) @awehellyeah

My opinion on this subject is that someone in management needs to get rid of the "Yes Man" and hire someone with a backbone.
A project (such as this one) suffered big time because of your excuse of meeting a deadline. Did nobody do feasibility studies to determine the effects of removing the ServiceModel namespace and how it would break migration? It wasn't removed from the other
project types, so it wasn't a point that it wouldn't fit on the device, so it came down to testing and someone dropped the ball. This is poor management, and deadlines should be extended for critical points within a project. Think about the public relations
that has already been set backwards by this move. I believe that it meets the critical criteria only because you are talking about targeting the mobile devices which consume external data sources as a key component. Lacking the ServiceModel namespace was a
monumental error on the teams part.
This is a perfect case of "we can ship the car", but the wheels will have to wait...they can "Flintstone it" until we get the wheels ready.

Problems consuming a MII web service using 'Add Service Reference' in Visual Studio

I can generate a client proxy when I use 'Add Web Reference' in visual studio, but when I try to use 'Add Service Reference', I get an empty stub. We have a product that generates web service client proxy code in a manner similar to that used by the Microsoft 'Add Service Reference' code. We are usually able to consume ASMX web services as well, but currently are unable to consume the SAP MII web service. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Didi,
I can successfully add a Service Reference and execute an MII transaction with input and output parameters through the Service Reference. This is using MII14 SP5 latest patch, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in C#.
Which version of MII, and which version of VS?
Can you paste the MII url into a browser and get it to return the WSDL?
Regards, Steve

How can I script the "Add Service Reference" process?

I want to write a script (cmd or powershell doesn't matter) that will take an input parameter of a path to a WSDL file and automatically add the web service to my project. Basically I want to duplicate the action of a) right click b) Add Service Reference
c) GO. Is this possible?

Hi MCM14,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
Actually you know that this forum is to discuss the VS IDE, for this issue, if you want to know that whether you could achieve it with Script, I think the Script forum would be better for you.

Installed BOE XI R3.1 Client tools now I cant open crystal reports?

After I unistalled the client tools I cant open Crystal Reports from local drives. I can from BOE, but not local or network drives. Plus all the Icons from these drives have been removed. What did I do wrong?

Need more info and it's not clear what you did or what is left on your PC but typically which ever CR product you still have installed going to the Add/Remove software and doing a Repair install on Crystal Reports Designer should fix the problem.
Thank you

VS 2013 - Add Service Reference - not working

Hi,
I have Service References correctly installed and running under IIS on a Win 8.1 machine.
It is under Default Web Site
On the tree it is named VCIWCFServicesSite
Basic Settings:
Site Name: Default Web Site
Path: /
Alias: VCIWCFServicesSite
Application Pool: DefaultAppPool
With VS 2013, I try to "add service reference"
http://localhost GO
I get:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/'.
The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed.
The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
No surprise: there is no c:\inetpub\wwwroot\_vti_bin directory.
Ok, Now what?

Hi Boyd,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
Since this issue is related to the service references in web site, to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible,
you could ask this question in the ASP.NET forum: http://forums.asp.net. If then, you could get an answer more quickly and professional. Thanks for your cooperation.

Add new action in toolbar of project document

Hello All,
I have checked the toolbar button Actions in Project document and it has only the following options:
Create Auction
Create agreement
Create RFx
I've seen that when you use any of the previous actions for a Project, the new document created have the reference to the previous Project in the document link tab.
I want to create a new action type "Create Project" to create a new project with the reference of the previous Project, but the problem is that we don´t know how to add a new action.
Are you aware on how this could be done? What we have seen is how to create a “ToolbarScript”, but this is not exactly the same.
Best Regards.

Hi Fakouhi,
Thank you for the quick response, unfortunately I couldn’t use your suggestion due I need to create a new project with different “Project Type”,with the duplicate functionality the new Project is created with the same Project Type than the previous Project.
Is not possible create a similar customization like “Create RFx” for add the new action “Create Project” ?
Best Regards,
Fran.

Crystal Reports & Windows Server 2008

Hi everybody,
I installed Crystal Reports 10 under Windows Server 2008 R2 (x86-64). I need this u201Coldu201D version because I still have some .NET application developed with Framework 1.1.
Unfortunately, I receive the following error: u201CSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.u201D
I created a virtual directory (which point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\crystalreportviewers10) and enabled 32-Bit Applications in the Application Pool under IIS 7.
Please notice that with the same configuration, everything works fine under Windows Server 2003.
I eventually tried to install Crystal Reports 2008, but nothing changed.
Did I miss something?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Best regards

Hi Don,
sorry for my late reply.
Unfortunately I don't use Visual Studio. I developed my .NET applications with Borland Developer Studio 2006, which support Framework 1.1 only.
I tried to install the SP3 of Crystal Reports 2008, but no luck.
I have licensed copies both of Crystal Reports 10 and 2008.
Thank you
P.S. if I use the new version (CR 2008 SP3) of:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.Web
I get the following error:
"The base class includes the field 'crystalReportViewer1', but its type (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer)."

You can convert .m4p using iTunes.
Make a playlist of files and burn to "audio CD". Use the new .aiff file in your iMovie Project.

How do I add an existing file to a project?

To add an existing files to a project in JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 I use File/Import and select "Existing Sources". In Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.2 the "Existing Sources" option was substituted by "Create Project from Existing Source". The documentation topic in 10.1.3 âAdding Existing Files to an Existing Project Using the Add Files or Directories Dialogâ indicates File/Open and use a âAdd Files or Directories dialogâ that I can not find.

i.e. you can use the windows explorer to copy C:\src\com\acme\MyClass.java to C:\jdev\mywork\Application1\Project1\src\com\acme\MyClass.java
