XL Reporter - microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition

Hi,
When I right client a Report Definition and click Edit or Generate Report, I receive a pops up message (title Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition) that "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable disk that is not available'
I did no installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. So, I have no idea where that comes from, unless, it is supposed to be included in XL Reporter installation in order to run with Patch 36.
I am using SAP 2005A SP1 Patch 36, XL Reporter Patch 29. Anyone encounter that?

Additional info, here is prerequisites before installation of XL :
1. Your workstation has a minimum of 256 MB RAM (512 MB is recommended).
2. The processor of your workstation is a Pentium III or higher.
3. You have installed Microsoft Excel on your workstation. The following versions are supported:
Microsoft® Excel 2000 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2002 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2003 (SP 2 or higher is recommended.)
4. You have installed Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft® MDAC 2.7 or higher.
You can download both Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft MDAC 2.7 or higher from www.microsoft.com. For more information on how to check for version information, see SAP Note 903032.

Is there any relation ship between .net framework with VS 2005 ? I think when installing SQL 2005, it is included VS and .net framework.

156" width Crystal Report with Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: kunchesm
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
I have a requirement to design a 156" width report (for exporting to Excel). And naturally i dont have printers to support this huge width reports (as these reports are not used for printing but just for exporting to Excel).
One of the option which i have tried to design these reports is -
- Installed MIcrosoft XPS Document writer and
- Created a new server form (in Printers&Faxes>File>Server Properties) and assigned my custom width & Height for the paper size as per my requirement
- Used this printer and form in my crystal report
Now, my question... is there any better alternative or option to design huge width Crystal reports in Visual studio 2005? Any help in this regard is highly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards

Hi Ganesh,
So it all depends on how you created your WEB Project. If it was a CR Web App then no issues, if it was a WEB Form app then no issues except you need to copy the whole folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\VS2013WebsiteCR\aspnet_client
to your app folder, maybe...
If it was an empty WEB app then it may be an issue with permissions ( more on this soon once we do some testing, R&D may have provided a work around to get IIS Express to work, not sure about using IIS directly.
Also search on Sessions and PostBacks, to get the second page you need to keep the session open/active. If not you may get nothing ot the same page everytime.

UID=sa
PWD=sa
DATABASE=HRISDB
WSID=S-AGD-PAY01\HRSERVER

You know, this forum is for controls, apis, components for the user interface Windows Forms.
Unlucky enough, Microsoft does not support Crystal reports anymore for many years.

I am not really familiar with all of the options for charting and what is or isnt in the bundled version.
You can download the CR XI R2 developer edition eval from the website and see if it gives you the graph options that you want. If it does then I think you can buy it at an upgrade price since you already have the bundled edition.

No images when deploying Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: wcl
CA Forum: Publishing
Developed a ASP.Net web site that uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005, everything works fine locally.
Following instructions from http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#07 a deployment package has been created using CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86 merge module and the website has been installed.
When it is deployed to a remote development server the report images are not displayed. The report navigation works, it is the images that are not found when the report is displayed.
Should the vs2005 key be entered some where on the remote server?

Thnakyou very much for your quick reply.
The directory has not been created by the merge module, which folder should it be created in and what contetants should it have?
<-edit>
an example of an image it can not find is "/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3/images/toolbar/upd.gif", so does the folder '/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3' need setting up?

What is the link for free download of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005?

Hi,
Does any body knows the link for a free download of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005? I need the Visual C++ 8.0 to install EBS R12 for Windows.
I used to have the link now I cannot find it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Amorsolo

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is not available for free download and you will have to purchase the software from the vendor. I believe only the express edition is available for download, but this does not help as you need to have the Standard or the Professional edition to make it working with R12.Hi,
Sorry took me so long to talk to my friends to see if I can borrow MS Visual Studio. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is expensive and my friends don't have it.
Can I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional for this purpose?
When I re-install EBS R12, which is the correct path (below) # 1 or # 2?
1) s_MSDEVdir=C:\Microsoft_Visual_Studio\VC
2) s_MSDEVdir=C:\Microsoft_Visual_Studio\VC\bin
Thanks,

How did you come to the conclusion that it is a problem with the UFL? If it is a problem with the UFL then there is little that we can do to troubleshoot it because the UFL is developed outside of Crystal. The code can do anything. You'd need to follow up with the person who wrote the UFL.
If you are still unsure of the cause, then I suggest you start testing with other reports. Use ones with no database connection as a control group, then use reports that DON'T include the UFL.
After that, you could capture a stack dump of your application and look at the results. See if you can find where a problem library file is. One thing to note, we won't look at your stack dump here. That is beyond the help we offer on forums.
You could also look at restructuring the portion of your application that handles Crystal Reports. Instead of calling Crystal within your application, you could spawn a new process that does your reporting then shuts down. It will help to isolate the reporting to its own application space that is only run when a report is requested. It doesn't sound like reporting is a large portion of this application if you run 20 reports a day and it runs for 10 hours straight.

Barcode export to PDF - Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005

Hi, we have a report that includes a barcode. We can print the report OK, but when we export to PDF the barcode is missing. Is there a work around for this? We have to have the PDF of the report for archive purposes. Thanks!

Crystal Report Dll problem with Visual Studio 2005

I am using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2005. At one time there were two different version of Crystal Decision Dll in Global Assembly Cache (GAC). So I uninstalled both the versions and then only installed 10.2.3600.
I am facing the following error when building my application in visual studio.
The type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\arms website\301a5b02\e03ad7d9\assembly\dl3\c30f5560\00f92427_3857ca01\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DLL'
and
'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\10.2.3600.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'
I have only installed it in .Net Framework. For some reason it appears in the temp folder. I cannot delete it and when I renamed it after the next compile it came back again.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for the tip.
I installed CR XI R2 with SP2 and 2.1
There are few reports in the system they use to run fine but now when I try to run them I get the following error:
Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Failed to open the connection. C:\DOCUME1\SSheikh\LOCALS1\Temp\ZGA370 {71BFCD35-F652-48C8-896D-B93229A4D2C2}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]
I understand that these reports run ok independently and on production machine as well; however when I try to run them from my development machine I get the above error.
I would appreciate help to resolve this. The code of the report is with report developer and I need to know what settings do I need to change where to be able to run the reports. Also I use my machine for deployment of application on the production server.
Thanks.

ODT 11.1.0.6.20 doesn't work under Visual Studio 2005 server explorer

I tried to connect to an Oracle Server by Server Explorer of Visual Studio 2005:
1) In Server Explorer I click with right mouse button on Data Connections and choose Add Connection...
2) I click on Change...
3) I choose Oracle Database in the left list
4) I choose Oracle Data Provider for .NET under the bottom left drop down list called Data provider (I see .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle and .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB too)
5) Instead of the dialog window shown at this link [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/net11gobe/building.net/images/addconn04.gif] I see the dialog window shown at this other link [http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8212/wrongvisualstudio2005se.png]
6) If I try to insert a right connection string or simply click on OK I receive this message box: "An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem."
If I try to redo all the operations I cannot see anymore the Oracle Data Provider for .NET under the bottom left drop down list called Data provider.
My system configuration is:
- Windows XP SP2 32Bit
- Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (I installed all the packages with Instant Client too, the client works I tried with SqlPlus and Sql Navigator 6.1)
- Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
- .NET Framework 2.0.50727
I can use .NET Framework Data Provider without any problems, but I need the new ODT 11.1.0.6.20 because I can insert stored procedures into .NET dataset visual designer and call from a TableAdapter.
I hope someone can help me.
Edited by: user5476796 on 8-mar-2009 12.30

I downloaded ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 recently (two weeks ago).
I forgot to tell you that I have Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect (Italian language) installed too and I installed ODAC for this version too.
In Visual Studio 2003 under Provider Tab of the Database connection I don't see any Oracle Data Provider, the only one I see is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle.

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

Hello,
I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
Crystal Report Viever
Failed to load database information
Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You
Ludek

Hi Ludek,
1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
Thanks,

Fail in installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition in Windows 7

Hi,
I'm new in here. I've just got my Notebook Installed with WIndows 7 Enterprise 32 bit and I would like to install Visual Studio 2005 professional Edition(I've got the installer CD from the MSDN which is purchased in our Company) in my
notebook. There is an issue which often occured, it says:
A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling Setup.
I've look up for the solution try lot of things to resolve the issue but no luck until now.
Any idea or experience to help me?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I also add you the log from dd_vserror80.txt :

Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

Visual Studio 2005, embedded Crystal Report problem

I am very new at .NET, and this is my first post to this forum.
I've created a Crystal Report within a project using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, on a Windows XP machine. I set the report as the ReportSource for a CrystalReportViewer on the main form. I can see data in the report in design view when I right-click on any of the fields and click "Browse Field Data". But when I preview the report, or run it in the application, all I see are the column headings and report title. I am hoping I am leaving out something obvious. I've researched this for two days without success.
The report's detail section is NOT suppressed, btw.
FYI (although I think it might not be relevant, because I don't see the data when I preview it in Visual Studio either) the report is displayed in the application when a button is clicked, as follows:
    Private Sub cmdRunLog_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRunLog.Click

I'm hoping that this is a common problem with an easy answer
Thanks,

I have done both, but I was currently using OLEDB.
I redesigned the report to use a dataset containing the correct data. Now, when I browse the fields, I see nothing. When I preview the report, I see what appears to be dummy data (a list of colors, etc).
But the GOOD news is: When I run the report in the application, I see the correct data!
Thanks! I think I'm good to go now. I will also apply the other suggestions, and try to simplify things.
