CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal Reports for VS 2010 in November???

Hey guys,
are you serious??? You told us that the finished version will be released in July!!! We are working with VS 2010 and just because of you guys we are not able to deploy our applications via Click Once. How could it be, that you are that slow? I really have to say, that it was much better, when Crystal Reports was shipped with Visual Studio. Who had the silly idea to change that method?
I think we are not the only company who is waiting for you to at last release the new version and now it''s even later? This is no good avertisment for you and we will change to another reporting as soon as possible...
Thank you for nothing!

Good afternoon.
I can understand the frustration and we definitely realize that our delay is causing some pain for quite a few of our customers and partners. To be blunt, we are just not happy with the size of our runtime size, which is why we have introduced this delay until November. The current runtime size of the release is very high compared to today's runtime, the expectation of the market, and our own standards. As such, we are working to reduce this. In the meantime, we will be deploying a Beta 2 release in August, which will be a full featured release, but will include the larger runtime size. I understand that this is not production grade software as we are labeling it as beta; however, it can be used for developing, testing, and qa'ing your applications. As far as production deployment goes, it will, unfortunately, need to wait for the November release.
I am more than happy to setup a time where we can chat over the phone about the challenges that this is creating for you and your organization. Please feel free to give me a call (678 575 8916).

CRVS2010 Beta - Licensing for "Crystal Reports for VS 2010"

Hello,
We have Crystal reports 2008 developer license which was upgraded from Crystal reports 11 Developer edition.
We have migrated to VS 2010 and need to use "Crystal Reports for VS 2010". But we only need to use the runtime version of it and are not using the crystal reports designer. Do we need to purchase/upgrade the license? If yes, then could you please let us know the details?
Thanks,
Gulab.

CRVS 2010 being a Beta, I am not sure that the licensing details have been worked out yet. However, going by past versions;
Runtime is free for win apps
Runtime is free for web apps - as long as these are used internally. See [SAP Crystal Reports Licensing Information|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/licensing/index.epx] for more details.
The above 2 I suspect will be carried over to CRVS 2010 - no guarantees, but this would make sense.
Runtime for web apps deployed to 3rd parties does require extra licensing. The licensing for versions of CR that bundled with .NET 2006 and .NET 2008 are described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789
I'll check with Program Management if all of the above applies and confirm once I get an answer.

Crystal Report for VS 2010 - The report page doesn't show in IIS

Hi all, I get a problem with Crystal Report for VS 2010 (version 13).
My website is built using VS 2010 (asp.net 4.0) and Crystal Report v13.
It work okay when I run it in the VS 2010. But when I host my site in the IIS 7, when going to the page that contain the Report, the report show nothing.
The page is blank except my button I've created to export the Report.
The weird thing is when I click the my button (export to pdf), it doest export the correct pdf.
Note that this happens in my development machine: windows 7 32bit.
I've spent a day figure out problem but still haven't found the problem.
Hope you can help me.

Let's start with the viewer. Sounds like the viewer directory is not configured correctly. Use [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article as a guide on how to do this.
I still do not have info on the following:
it means even though the crystal report viewer doesn't show, i still can export it's content to pdf.
With all due respect, think of it this way;
You're the mechanic. I'm a guy with a car. I text you; I'm sitting in my car. It will not get me to point A. Fix it.
In a nut shell, that is what you are asking me to do with the export. The more detail you provide, the better. See if you can provide the info re export I requested in my previous post.

Auto execution of Crystal Reports for VS 2010 report

I'm very new to crystal and I've been searching for some time and can't seem to find a solution to this. I installed Crystal Reports for VS 2010 and can run a report without any issues. What I would like to do is basically compile and EXE that when I execute it, it will refresh a report and export it in whatever format and location I specify, without showing any GUI. This seems like it should be an easy thing to accomplish, but I have had no luck yet.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Just don't load the report into crystalReportviewer1 and simply export to what ever format you need.
Your users will need the CR runtime if they want to run your app. If you export to PDF or some other format then they can view the report only. Just share or e-mail the report folder.

CRVS2010 Beta - Problems with printing Crystal Reports for VS 2010

Good afternoon,
We have the following problem, we used the version of Crystal Reports that came integrated with visual studio for several years. But we are migrating to the version of Visual Studio 2010, and we are using the version of Crystal Reports for this same version, running on screen is correct, and run all the reports, but in print there is a failure we could not solve. Our customers use printers dot matrix as the "Epson LX300 +", but when you print the report leaves the impression defective in the previous version of Visual Studio 2005 "The impression is quite clear, we have attempted to overcome this problem with the options of PrintMode with activex and pdf in the CrystalReportViewer, and RenderingDPI option with multiple values. Obviously when using other types of printers such as laser or inkjet printing is perfect, but due to cost our customers use the printers mentioned. The server where the application is Windows server 2008 and client computers are windows xp, windows 7, windows vista. As network hardware and printers are working properly, and from other applications and from the other server with versions of Crystal Reports If anyone knows how to solve this problem I would like to receive support and ideas.
Thanks

I have a question about printing reports. We are using VS2008 and the CR reportviewer with printmode = ActiveX. Many of our users absolutely hate the number of steps they must go through and the time it takes to print a Crystal Report when printmode = PDF. In our environment several times per day, we need to produce hard copies of reports for legal reasons. Making the users first render the report, then had it off to Adobe to print simply takes too much time which is why we are using the ActiveX print control.
We recently started looking at VS2010 and discovered the issue with the unbundling of Crystal Reports. We have not downloaded CR for VS2010 yet.
My question is this: for VS2010, what happened to the ActiveX print control? I read somewhere that it was going to become some WPF-type thing but there weren't many details about that. So when a user clicks on the print button in the Crystal Report Viewer intended for VS2010, what can they expect? Can they still print straight to a printer (is there something that gives them this capabitliy like the Active X print control did?), or has that capability been deprecated and they have to go through PDF? Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal Report Viewer 2010

Hi,
I'm using Crystal report 2010 with VS 2010, and i have 2 web projects, the first is the one that my organization works with and the second is a dummy one - this is for test only -, my problem is when dealing with charts or pictures, every thing OK in the second project, but in the first one charts and pictures are displayed very will in crystal report designer, and preview, but nothing is displayed at run time. the environment of the 2 projects are identical (the same referenced DLLs, and from the same location "Local Folder", the same binding method "Objects", the same registered and add "Keys, and Assemblies" in the web.config).
please, does any body has an idea where is the mistaken part, or where I'm i suppose to search about the malfunctioning configuration, or ...... etc.
Thanks a lot.

hi guys
i was comparing the source code of 2 web pages one from each project - the working and malfunction one -, this led me to check Temp folders, and what i found was so strange
first of all, "full control" permission is granted for all possible users, Guest, Anonymous, IIS, and ASPnet user on Temp Folders.
the strange part is as following,
of course there 2 temporary folders for the 2 apps, the one of the working app did not contain any kind of files, on the other hand the one belongs to the malfunction app contain 2 .png files one for the chart, and another one for the picture, in addition, chart image is the same as the one displayed in the preview mode in design time, i mean that the created chart image did not respect report source data - the created one is of a vertical line, but according to supplied date the line should be horizontal, and i insure that data was supplied (from debugging, there are 246 object in the supplied object list, on the other hand if no data was supplied, this should not affect picture display) -, in despite of that nothing is displayed at run time but the red "X" mark.
so I'm wondering, why nothing is displayed in despite of the creation of temp pictures?, and also how the working app displays the correct chart & picture in despite of creation of no templates?
another question, in many forums, and also in the page source there are a mention of "aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/crystalreportviewers14" folder and its existence in the app root, while this folders exists only in the wwwroot folder , and no physical existence for that folder in any of the 2 apps root, specially that I'm running my apps from the Visual Studio Development Server, not from the IIS, so, where can i find this folder, to grant appropriate permissions on it .
i wanted also to inform Don that both apps and their class library projects target complete 3.5 .Net Framework, and also not the client one.
now, I'm in doubt about the creation of a project before and after crystal report 4 visual studio 2010 installation, so I'm about to establish a new web app, and copy all of the malfunction one to avoid this problem, but i hope to know the cause of this problem.
Thanks a lot

Crystal Reports for VS 2010 Keeps asking to convert how to stop it?

I have converted a Web Application from VS2008 to VS2010. I downloaded and installed the VS2010 Visual Studio version and the conversion seems to have gone alright and after the conversion a dialog box came up to ask if I wanted to convert Crystal reports from a previous version to 2010. I said yes and everything seems to work including the reports in the converted site.
However, now every time I open the solution in VS2010 the same dialog box pops up asking me if I want to convert the Crystal Reports to version 2010. I saw an other similar question by a user but the answers he got were not applicable to my sutuation.
The environment we have is TFS 2010 based and I created a new branch of the solution in quetsion and did the conversion using VS2010 as described above.
It may be that I have to make some manula changes to some files to set a flag that the reports are already converted? I may have to do this manually?
So the question is how do I get rid of / disable the dialog box asking me to convert each time.
P.S. I saw references to a beta version on Crystal Reports for VS2010 I have never had this on my computer. However, I do have both VS2008 and Crystral Reports 2008 and VS2010 and Crystal Reports 2010 loaded on my computer and I will need both installed for the time being until conversion to VS2010 is complete.

All I need to know is what it is that the CR for 2010 software looks at to determine that an upgrade is required.
- Not as simple as that. There are all kinds of variables that may cause the issue; from runtime, to references to web.config to VS2010 and so on...
1) make sure the config file has only assemblies of version 13.x referenced.
2) download the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility and see if your project is loading any older versions of CR runtime
3) uninstall CRVS2010, do a repair on VS2010, reinstall CRVS2010

Hi Misha,
Can I ask why you want to install CR for VS 2010, which requires VS 2010 to be installed, silently? It's a plug-in for Visual Studio, it's not the runtime for a deployment package.
If you are asking how to deploy the runtime with your app then search here. Lots of info and links to download the 32 and 64 bit MSI packages.
ALSO - this is still beta... DO not deploy this to a production server. Wait a week or so and the final build will be available for production servers.
Thank you

Crystal Reports for VS 2010 corrupts "some" Thai chars on PDF Export

Any Thai character that contains a symbol above it (like an umlat in English) gets corrupted when exporting a report to PDF, yet the same report can be exported to Excel or Word without any issue.
See the following character - once with a symbol above one without:
ล้ ล
The PDF file will not display the first character - instead it displays the second character overlayed on a box (like you get when the font does not contain the required character)
If I create a text field in the Crystal designer, it does the same thing - but when I right click and edit, it displays correctly - until I click out of the field when the problem returns. So this suggests the problem is before the PDF export and maybe with the designer - but then why does it work if i export to Word?
I have tried may different fonts - including those specifically recommended and used by the Thais, but all have the same issue.
My work around at the moment is to use Word instead of PDF, as I do not believe there is a configuration change I can make that will resolve the issue, but would love to hear otherwise.
I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 version 13 running on Windows 7 x64. I have a beta 2 download of v14, but it requires a key code which i do not have, so as yet ahave been unable to verify if this issue is resolved in that version.
if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know
Cheers
Jed

Thanks Don,
(Good to know that version 13 I am running is the correct one)
I have tried many UTF-8 fonts, with largely similar results, but this testing here is with Cordia New - a font largely aimed at Thai Language and the one our Thai customers always use.
I have confirmed that right click and export from the IDE still shows the box on certain characters - but note that the box does not replace these characters (as would be the case if they were missing) but rather overlays them - which is why my subject includes the word 'corrupt'
All testing so far in on my Windows 7 development machine - so no user issues are involved
The code if fairly simple at this stage - define and load a data set - then link it to the report and use the built in export to disk functions:
                OutboundSummary rpt = new OutboundSummary();
                rpt.SetDataSource(outboundSummary);
                string tempDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP") + "
                string filename = tempDir + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss");
                rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename + ".pdf");
                rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, filename + ".doc");
If anyone wanted to verify, here is a piece of Thai text that will show the problem
ผลรวมแฟกซ์ที่ยังอยู่ในคิว
To better illustrate the problem, the attached image will help
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/hweh42.jpg[/IMG]
I am coming to the conclusion that perhaps these characters are not single characters - at least do not appear as such with each font - and perhaps Windows does some magic to make them appear correctly. I can see that Word automatically converts them to a suitable font - i.e. a mixed language text file imports into word with different fonts for different languages - and you cannot change the font to one that does not support the language. I can specify Arial from Crystal which does not contain thai characters at all - but export to word and they show correctly.
Crystal spits the data out and Word converts it correctly, but acrobat does not - so maybe it is their fault?
I have all language packs on my machine - and doing Chinese next suggests that even if I find a thai font that worked, it would not work in chinese, so am thinking word or rtf might be the winner.
Cheers
Jed

CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal reports and VS2010

I wanted to ask you whether is it possible in any case to use crystal reports 10/11 with visual studio 2010. Is the only option to upgrade to crystal reports for vs2010?
As I tried both versions I'm getting red cross on all of my crystal reports, and the crystal viewer could not be of course edited from vs2010 because there is no such component in the toolbox.

Hello,
Yes, no other versions of CR are supported in VS 2010 and currently there are no plans to support anything other than CR 2010 in VS 2010. They may work but if any issues we can't escalate them to R&D.
CR4VS2010 is beta, so do not distribute to a production system if you plan to upgrade your app. And it is currently only supported on Clean PC's, no other versions of CR installed.
Thank you

Unicode with Crystal Report for VS 2010

Dear,
Please help me, I have a big problem with Khmer Unicode to preview in Crystal Report IV 4.0 for Visual Studio 2010.
(I mean that it shows incorrect fonts), but when I use VS 2008, I always use CRAXTTRD.dll to render Khmer Unicode font, and In the new version of Crystal Report in VS 2010, I don't know how to find CRAXTTRD.dll to privewer reports.
so what can I do, please give the resolve for me, help.
Thanks in advanced, and I looking for your reply.

OK, once again, you cannot use that dll in VS 2008 or VS 2010. End of story.
Use our .NET Assemblies and RAS to replace the RDC.

"Load report failed" after upgrading to Crystal Report for VS 2010

I switched to Visual Studio 2010 few months ago. Today, I needed to update my Crystal Report reports, so I installed the Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010 on my local server. I updated my reports and it works fine on my local server.
On my remote server, I installed the Crystal Report runtime engine for Framework 4.0 (note that my project use the framework 3.5) and published my project. But now I got the following error when I want to create a report "Load report failed". I double-checked the path of my report and its permissions (note that it was working before the update).
Am I missing a step ?
Thanks for your help.

Googling 'FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS' I came up with the following:
http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic21378.html
So, no, that does not appear to be the issue.
However my assertion - given that the correct dlls are loading - is still that either the report is not there (do you see it loaded in Process Monitor?) or the process has no access to either the actual rpt or the temp files that the print engine creates. Those really are the only reasons for report load errors.
This being a web app, try a simple win app - as a test. All you need is the viewer and CrystalreportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report> (use a saved data report). Compile, throw the exe on the server. Run. What happens there?

Crystal Reports for VS 2010 "Recent Pages" history is erased in IE 8

Hi,
         We have a reporting application developed in Asp.Net 4.0 and Crystal Reports for VS2010. When application displays a report and user tries to navigate report pages, for some reason in IE 8 the "Recent Pages" history only keeps 2 most recent pages of the report. The rest of the pages are gone from the "Recent Pages" history in IE 8.
        The "Recent Pages" history is only being erased when navigating report pages using Crystal Reports viewer for VS2010. When I navigate to other pages of the application or any other website, those pages are kept in "Recent History".
        For example if a report contains 10 pages and user goes from page 1 to page 5, only page 5 and page 4 are in "Recent Pages" history of the browser.
        When I run the application in Google Chrome the "Recent Pages" history is not erased and I can navigate to the pages using "Back" and "Forward" buttons of the browser.
When the application is using Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and .Net 2.0, multiple pages are kept in IE 8 "Recent Pages" history not just the last 2 most recently visited.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Vlad.

OK. Threw a report into a web app and ran it. The only way I can reproduce the behavior is as follows:
Run a report (mine has 7 pages)
Page through to page 5
Go to recent history - I see all pages there from 1 to 5
Click on page 1
I get page 1 (but the page counter on the viewer remains as 5 of 5 )
Page through to page 7 using the forward page button of the viewer
Now I get the last 2 pages only
Is this the behavior you are seeing?
