Picture not showing in Crystal Report Viewer

We have an asp.net web solution that shows Crystal Reports using the crystal report viewer and also exporting the reports to PDF, Word and Excel The reports are working fine, but when showing the reports in the crystal report viewer the picture in the report is not shown (see crystalviewer.png), but when exporting to PDF, Word, Excel and so on, this picture is shown (PDF.png).
Can you check if this is an error in crystal report ? or is there some kinda security issue?
The report is not attached to this document, because the file type is not allowed.
We have even tried to install the latest version (13.0.9.1312) from your homepage.
This version also has the problem. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 Exporting crystal report
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, False, Page.Title)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report

Please provide more info on:
We use register to this page.
How is that done? Or, what is it that you do in the registry to manage the CR viewer?

Report Document not show on Crystal Report Viewer in C#

My program is modified from VB.NET. Now I struck with Crystal Report that Crystal Report Viewer didn't show Report Document.
Printing code is composed of two forms. One assign parameters and objects need. Other is Crystal Report Viewer form, CrystalReportForm. Last one run report by parameter from the first.
When run this code that it didn't found any error but the problem is no report show on Crystal Report Viewer on second form. It just blank Crystal Report Viewer. There arm't any message response.
Here is my code.
// report caller form.
private void Print()
   CrystalReportForm rptForm = new CrystalReportForm();
   string[] strtbl;
strtbl = new string[1];
   string[] strqry;
strqry = new string[1];
   // prepare var
   string myqry;
   string myrpt;
   // Pass The Table That you used in the crystal Report
strtbl[0] = "r_receipts";
   // Pass the Query
myqry = "SELECT * FROM r_receipts";
myrpt = "rptReceipts.rpt";
strqry[0] = myqry;
   //Pass For Mdi True
rptForm.MdiParent = this.ParentForm;
rptForm.ViewReport(myrpt, strtbl, strqry, "");
   //Parameter Value It is Optional
rptForm.Show();
// Crytal Report Viewer form.
public void ViewReport(string ReportName , string[] TableName, string[] QueryString , string Parameter = "")
   //Me.MdiParent = mainpage;
   if (TableName.Length != QueryString.Length )
   MessageBox.Show("Passed Variable Are Not Correct", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
   return;
   CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
   CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer crv = new CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer();
crv.ActiveViewIndex = 0;
crv.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
crv.ToolPanelView = CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ToolPanelViewType.None;
crv.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
crv.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
crv.Name = "CrystalReportViewer";
   MySqlDataAdapter at =new MySqlDataAdapter();
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   for (int i = 0; i < TableName.Length; i++)
at = GetDataAdeptor(QueryString[i]);
at.Fill(ds, TableName[i]);
   string rptPath = "";
rptPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + ReportName;
rpt.Load(rptPath);
rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
   if (Parameter != "")
rpt.SetParameterValue(0, Parameter);
crv.ReportSource = rpt;
crv.Refresh();
   //CrystalReportViewer.DataBind();
   //Me.Panel1.Controls.Add(CrystalReportViewer);
   Panel panel1 = new Panel();
panel1.Controls.Add(crv);

Hi Bhushan,
It's not yet fixed. My dataset (ds) can't bine to DataGridView as
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds
But it could do like this
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
When I bine to Crystal Report Viewer setdatasource
CrystalReportViewer1.setdatasource = ds.Tables[0];
It still not work, anyway you suggest let me in the right way. I very confuse the thing I fix to bine to DataGridView
Thank,
Chaiwat

Problem showing the crystal report viewer in form after added the component on it

Greetings
I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:
Translated:
Failed to create the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. Error: An exception occurred in the type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.
Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer
It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Report.Show?
How about you try:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your report>
Or:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(<path to your report>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Or, if the report is added to the project:
crReportDocument = New test
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Print Button Not Working if i not inital the Crystal Report Viewer

hiii every body here
i have problem on my web application with framework (4.0)
i use crystal report viewer (crystal report 13) and i installed the engine of crystal report and use dataset as datasource to my report and my report work fine but ....
my problem is :
i cannot export or print my crystal report 13 if i put my code on sub like that :
protected void btn_print_Click ( object sender , EventArgs e )
            SP_testTableAdapter adpter = new SP_testTableAdapter();
            adpter.Fill(ds.SP_test);
            Reports.Learning.CrystalReports.CR_testreport my_report = new Reports.Learning.CrystalReports.CR_testreport();
            my_report.SetDataSource(ds);
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = my_report;
            CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
when i use this i cannot print or export it say to me login to database fail message although i use dataset not direct database connection that mean it not need to give the report source every use of it the connection of my server details like username , password
but if i put this code to my page load the report run and showing and print correctly , i need to can use print,export and every button on reportviewer toolbar
without put the code that display report on page_load i need to put code on button event only and when i click the button it show the report and can print and export , and not need to use sesssion
need help plz ................

An assumption here is that this is a web app. That being the case, you need to worry about post backs when you print or export. E.g.; almost any action the viewer will cause a post back and thus what ever data you sent to the report is now forgotten. Place the report in session and this will eliminate the issue. Search for KBA 1985571. I document the full code needed there.

Vishal,
I would like to let you know of an SBO addon that we have created called CrystalWave. This addon integrates Crystal reports with B1. This might save you a some time trying to recreate the wheel. Please take a look at the following link:
http://www.twbs.com/CrystalWave.html
YOu can download a fully functional copy at http://www.twbs.com/selectcwversion.html
This will work only on the SBODEMO_US company.

Crystal Reports Viewer seems to have data - but it is not showing

I am developing on a Windows 7 box and publishing a VS2010 web application to a Windows 2008 server.
On the server I have installed CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0
Reports are stored in a folder on that server.
When I run the application on my local machine the report displays okay via the Crystal Reports Viewer on a .aspx page.
When I run the application on the server, if I view the source of the page that contains the Crystal Report Viewer - it seems to have fetched the report okay. But it is not showing on the screen. I was thinking this might be because it can't find the 'style.css' file but on both the development machine and server all the various folders and files in and under crystalreportviews13 are present in aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/
When I view the source of the pages that display the report - they seem to be identical both when viewed on my development box and when accessing the app directily on the server. But, on the .aspx page displayed by the server, the page is blank in the browser. Yet, as I say, when you view source all the data is there.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
Edit: In both cases if you View Source the page is showing this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css" />
On my development box this makes sense. The web site in question is below 'Default Web Site' - i.e. it is at the same level in the folder hierearchy as the aspnet_client folder.
But on the server, the site is a subweb below a web site that is level with Default Web Site. So I figure the files are not being found. How can you tell the Crystal Reports Viewer that the files it wants (like style.css) are not where it thinks they are going to be?
So the app is looking for a file at the same level.
But on the server there

Crystal Report Viewer not displaying properly in on loading

I am using Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 10 with IIS 8.5. I configured Crystal reports properly but when I load the webpage the Crystal report viewer doesn't load properly and the toolbar and other options are not showing. Please help. Following is the problem am talking about:

Hi Zaeem,
Windows 10 is not currently supported. We plan to add it to the supported platform in SP 14 which is planned for sometime end May.
I tried it and make sure you are loading the Viewer and Report in the Page_Init section. Also the CrystalReportsViewer folder must be included in the project.
Try searching and you'll find info on this subject.

Crystal report viewer does not observe the PaperSize and PageOrientation setting

Hi:
My application is a 3 tier application, where the WinForm client is connected to the WCF Services hosted in IIS server.
The report is generated on server side using WCF service, and export as.rpt with data, the .rpt file is then sent to the WinForm client, the Crystal Report viewer is used to load the .rpt file for preview and print.
On server side I've Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed and set as default printer. On the client side if the default printer is XPS or Nitro PDF creator, the report can be view and print correctly, report design in landscape will be able to show in the landscape in CR viewer, report design using custom paper size (e.g. Half Letter), CR viewer able to show it in Half Letter.
The problem that I'm facing is when the default printer is set to HP LaserJet P1120 or others (I've tried Epson ESC/P Standard driver), the report is always shown in the portrait, and it will not be able to show in custom paper size either. Here is my code:
     Dim settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
     Dim rep as New ReportDocument
     rep.Load(sOutputFileName)     'The report is download from server and save in sOutputFileName
     SetReportPaperSize(rep, sPaperSizeName, False, settings) ' sPaperSizeName store the name of the custom paper used in the report
     CrViewer.ReportSource = rep
   Public Shared Sub SetReportPaperSize(rep As ReportDocument, paperSizeName As String, isHardCopy As Boolean, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      Dim installedPrinters As Printing.PrinterSettings.StringCollection = Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
      Dim printers As New List(Of String)
      Dim sPrinter As String
      If installedPrinters.Count = 0 Then
         Return
      End If
      SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(rep.PrintOptions, paperSizeName, settings)
      With rep.PrintOptions
         .PrinterName = settings.PrinterName
         .PaperSource = PaperSource.Auto
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length > 0 Then
            .PaperSize = DirectCast(GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName, settings, rep.PrintOptions.PaperSize), CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
         End If
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Sub SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(printOptions As PrintOptions, paperSizeName As String, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      With settings.DefaultPageSettings
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length = 0 Then
            . PaperSize = GetPaperSize (printOptions.PaperSize, settings)
         Else
            For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
               If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
                  .PaperSize = size
                  Exit For
               End If
            Next
         End If
         .Landscape = printOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
         .Margins.Top = printOptions.PageMargins.topMargin
         .Margins.Left = printOptions.PageMargins.leftMargin

      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Printing.PaperSize
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      ' Default paper Size defined in the printer
      result = settings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize
      For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
         If size.RawKind = paperSizeId Then
            result = size
            Exit For
         End If
      Next
      Return result
   End Function
   Public Shared Function GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName As String, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings Optional defaultpaperSizeId As CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize) As Integer
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Integer = defaultpaperSizeId
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(paperSizeName) Then
         For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
            ' Height and Width in Printing.PaperSize is measure in hundredths of an inch
            If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
               result = size.RawKind
               Exit For
            End If
         Next
      End If
      Return result
   End Function
Setting the PrintOptions.PaperSize and PageOrientation seem like no effect on the viewer. My code to load the report to CR viewer is much more complicated than the code I show above, I've a background worker thread to download the report, and when the worker thread finished download the report from the server, it will assign the report to CRViewer. Do the changes in report PrintOption before assign to CRViewe and after assigning to CRViewer make any different?
I'm using VS2010, CR XI R2 (Version 11.5.3700.0). Please Help. Thanks
Regards
JC Voon

Hi JC,
CRXI R2 is a no go with VS 2010, these two are not compatible.
With CR 11.5 use VS 2005.
Or Use VS 2010 and CR for VS 2010 (13.0)
Once you have the supported / compatible conbination of CR and VS, use the In Proc RAS .NET code from below KBA.

Also, see the KBAs returned by below search. The top right corner search box on this page is quite helpful.

Crystal Report Viewer shows blank but exporting shows results

I'm getting a really strange issue when opening a report using the CrystalReportViewer class. The Crystal Report Viewer shows up nicely in my webpage....but the report is completely blank. When I click on the Export button in the Viewer & export to any format, the results show up nicely. Also when I right click on the Viewer page & view source, I can see all my report data there in Javascript....but for some reason it's just not being rendered on the page.
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 & I believe I've added the necessary jars & also included the entire crystalreportviewers folder (with all js files) in my Web folder. Also, I don't see any exceptions in the crystal_exception_log_file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

The same problem to me also.
I was using the crystal report in visual studio 2008, the report was perfectly working. But when we migrated the project into visual studio 2010, the crystal report simply shows the blank report. But the javascript is having the actual data but not only rendered in the screen.
Please anybody have valid solution for this, let us know.
Thanks

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.
