Can I get the Version a Crystal Report Was Designed Against

Hi,
I'm working on a web application developed in C# using the Crystal Reports runtime 10.5 that came with Visual Studio.
What I am trying to do is to check the version of a Report File that the application is trying to run before actually running it.
So that a Report written in Crystal Reports 11 can be flagged as being potentially incompatiable (as it may contain new features not supported by the runtime).
Is there any way to get this version number in C# code?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the reply.
In the application I'm working on people can write and upload their own Crystal Reports.  The application then runs these reports for them (also doing other things such as exporting (PDF) and emailing the report).
At the minute, and in past releases the application uses the 10.5.3700.0 runtime.  Everything functions fine in the application.
My only concern is that a user could write a report in Crystal 2008 using functionality that is in Crystal 2008 but not supported by the 10.5.3700.0 runtime.
Therefore when a user uploads a report I was hoping to analyse the rpt file to find out what version they used to design the report.  Then if it is not designed in version 10, inform them that some functionality may not be supported by the current runtime.
I've had a go through code and found a property called MajorVersion which seemed to be just what I wanted, but it was Non-Public so unfortunately this wasn't available to use.
((CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper)((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineObjectBase)(sInfo)).m_rasRptClientDoc).MajorVersion
I was hoping to go for this solution of warning users rather than compiling using the Crystal 2008 runtime, as updating the runtime may incur a cost to current customers who are happy using 10.5.3700.0.
I hope that is a bit clearer.

  • How can I get the second group and report totals in Matrix report?

    Hi,
    I have created a matrix report with 2 break Groups.
    Iam getting columns totals for the first group, but not for the second group and the report totals.
    How can I get the second group and report totals for each month?
    Thanks.
    Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    If you want a total at any group-level, go to the particular group in the data model, insert a summary column in the group, and select
    Reset At > appropriate Group Name
    For report level summaries, you must create the summary column outside of all groups.

  • Where can I find which versions of Crystal Reports are compatible with the Runtimes?

    The Crystal Runtimes run reports authored in Crystal Reports.  Where is it documented which version of Crystal Reports can be used to author reports for which version of the Runtimes?
    If I use the latest Runtimes can I consume reports authored in any version of Crystal Reports, e.g. Crystal Reports version 10?  Or Crystal Reports 2013?

    Latest runtimes is rather vague(?), but yes the runtime for CR 2008 and "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET" will have no issues running reports create in previous versions of CR - all that way back to CR 9.x. After that, it gets more difficult the further back you go.
    As for reports create in CR 2011 and / or CR 2013 no issue in "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", guaranteed. Using those reports in CR 2008 should also not be an issue - e.g. I can't think of any features introduced in CR 2011 / 2013 that would not work in CR 2008.

  • Firefox 5 disabled my mcafee LIVE site advisor...can i get the version 4 reinstalled onto my comp?

    in order for me to run my mcafee LIVE site advisor, i had to switch over to Internet Explorer, which i dont care to use after using Mozilla for a number of years....Mcafee is in process of making this compatible, but, in the meantime....can i get Mozilla version 4 back onto my computer? or has the version been made obsolete?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    Have you considered alternate site reputation tools, such as the WOT add-on?
    Here's the process to roll back to 3.6.18:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Can I get the version info using the SDK?

    Can I get the verion info from the SDK (Web Services SDK or Enterprise SDK)? For instance, for BOE XI R2, I can get some info like this "boexir2", so that I know jar files are for BOE XI R2. If this info can be retrieved, could you please tell me how I should do? Thanks.

    Sure, but the odds are that you'll find the regular non-upgrade boxed version for less than the upgrade price, especially as we get nearer the holidays.

    Thanks Andy,
    I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
    I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...

    I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
    I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
    what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
    then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
    marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
    I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
    copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
    have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
    Everyone else gets it to work.
    It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
    used to it.
    Hope this helps!
    Andy Martini
    PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It
    seems like such a small thing yet you guys have been
    stumped for YEARS on this!

  • Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

    Hi,
    I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
    Regards,
    Sree

    In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.

  • How can I get the Tables in my report to update their field lists?

    I am working with Crystal Reports 2008, and I have a ReportDocument loaded in a .NET project.
    I want to update the field lists of the tables (stored procedures) used in the report.  I am calling "VerifyDatabase()", but this does not update the field lists.  Through the designer, I accomplish this by going to the Database -> Set Datasource Location..., then clicking on the stored procedure (i.e. table) in the report, clicking on the stored procedure under the database in the bottom pane, and then clicking "Update".
    How can I accomplish this in code?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    You have to use RAS and the replace connection method. The Report Engine does not have the ability.
    Search forums for "ReplaceConnection_Click" and you'll find sample code that should work for you.
    Thank you

  • I can't get the version sets to save in the stack!

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0.  I had been editing my photos and saving
    them as a version set.  After about doing 6 photos, all of a sudden
    they won't save in the version set...stacked on top.  The edited version seems to save in a different
    file but not in my organizer.  I didn't think I had changed anything.
    I am using windows XP and the box is checked as to save as version set, and I get all the other screens describing what a version set is, but it isn't  in the organizer when I go back to it.
    Help?

    Unless you have changed the OS the “save as” command should continue to operate..?
    What have you changed recently?

  • How can I get the version of the GPIB driver from Visual Basic ?

    I want to readout from visual Basic which version of GPIB-Driver is installed on the PC. I must change some parameters for my application when GPIB 2.0 runs instead of 1.7.
    Thanks for any solution...

    Hi,
    The driver should create a key in registry depending on the driver version. Check for the existance of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-488.2M\ (In my case I had a folder called 2.00).
    Hope this helps out.

    Hi think, currently you can check, what map data files there's in your device by browsing device in Nokia Ovi Suite. Just click arrow on top of the phone icon and check what map data files there's in the device.
    Unfortunately, we don't have yet functionality to show, what version maps there's in device.
