CRVS2010 beta - Why to use useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPol

In .NET 4.0, while using Crystal Report 2010 we need to specify useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy attibute in
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
because those Crystal Report dll's properties showing Runtime Version as v2.0.50727.
But why Crystal Report 2010 DLL's are showing v2.0.50727 instead of v4.0?
I dont want to use useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy attibute to run my application.
Can SAP will provide the compaitable version of Crystal Report for .NET 4.0?

I would like an update on this issue.
In other posts SAP representatives have put forward that this won't be addressed in the RTM, stating that this is a 'Microsoft issue'.
Re: CRVS2010 Beta - file not found error crdb_adoplus.dll
CRVS2010 Beta - crdb_adoplus.dll not found
In this thread it sounds like there is something actually being done.
Using the useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=true is very impactful and effectively discards most of the effort put into the CLR 4.0.

CRVS2010 Beta - Can't use the the Runtime for VS 2010 Beta

Hi,
I changed my web.config as described in the PDF but I'm always getting this error message:
Assembly 'my Assembly' uses 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=14.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304'
What's wrong?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Guys,
Are you using the VS 2010 CR for VS2010 plug in and if so is this a Beta issue?
Or are you using a previous versions of CR runtime in VS 210 issue?
If it is a VS 2010 and CR plug issue then the subject line needs to be changed to follow the rule for posting beta questions to:
CRVS2010 Beta - Can't use the the Runtime for VS 2010 Beta
If it's a migration of existing CR 2008 or previous version of CR application into VS 2010 then it's not supported. CR 2008 and previous versions of CR have not been tested with 4.0 framework and therefore it will not work and no escalation path to make it work at this time, don't upgrade your old projects.
Thank you
Don
Sorry I see Jonathan has already changed the title.

HT5260 Why is it important to be able to work in both iPhoto and Aperture 3? If Aperture 3 is so much better, why use iPhoto?

I have been using iPhoto as well as my iMac for just over 2 years and like iPhot and love my Mac. However, I want a program that is a little better that iPhoto and I thought that Aperture 3 was my next step. After reading a lot of the comments on Aperture 3 I find it a little confusing why one would want to use both programs rather that just upgrading to the better one and using it exclusively. Maybe I'm missing something here, so could someone please clue me in.

here is a link to the trial:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Also have a look at the tutorials and the manual on the Aperture support page.

CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

Hi there - can someone please help?!
I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
I upgraded to VS 2010
I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated
Regards,
Ridwan

Hi Ridwan,
After much testing I have it all working now using CRDB_adoplus.dll as a data source ( XML )
Alter your Config file to look like this:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
Then using the code below, and CR requires the Schema to be able to read the date format.
private void SetToXML_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;

string sqlString = "Select * From Orders";
OleDbConnection oleConn = new OleDbConnection(connString);
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString, oleConn);
//OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter2 = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlString2, oleConn);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable("Orders");
oleAdapter.Fill(dt1);
System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
// We need the schema to get the data formats
ds.WriteXml("c:

CRVS2010 Beta 2 Pie chart legend displaying "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"

Instead of displaying "Total" at the bottom of my pie chart legend I am getting the following text: "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"
The values and percentages calculate correctly, but the label is unusual.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my pie chart. My report was fine before I did my update to CRVS2010 Beta 2. I was using crystal report 11.5.
My report is really simple. I have a resume chart that you can drilldown. Each drilldown show the same chart for the selected
item.
I'm using Windows 7 Professionnel 64 bit in french (canada version).
Visual Studio Version 10.0.30319.1

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - "Database Logon failed" Error, after Upgrade

Hi,
Generally: we are using the Crystal Reports in combination with a DataSet, that is filled during runtime and pushed to the report, using "SetDataSource". The Project is an ASP .NET 3.5 Project, published on our server.
I upgraded my development-machine to CRVS2010 (installed both packages - the CRVS for VS 2010 and the runtime) last week and changed some fields in the Report. The DataSet was left unchanged. Everything is working well on my development-machine, but when I publish the Project to our server, I get an "Databse Logon failed" Error, when I want to create my Report. The CRVS2010 Beta 2 redist Runtime is installed on our server. Here is the code, we use:
// create new Report
var report = new Reports.repMyReport();
// DataSource ds was filled correctly (we checked with export to XML
report.SetDataSource(ds);
// Set several Parameters to Report
report.SetParameterValue("test", "test");
// Export Report to PDF-Format and open in Browser
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "reportName.pdf");
Response.End();
The error I get is:
Database logon failed.

I already tried everything, found googling the web and/or searching this forum:
e.g.: perform "verify Database" on all Reports and map the DataSet.xsd again to the Report
Is that a known issue on the Beta and we should wait for the RC, or does anyone have an idea how to fix that one?
This error is really annoying!
Many thanks for your help.
kind regards
Reinhard

Dear Ludek,
Many thanks for your quick reply. Currently, I have to finish some other things. I will try your ideas next week and give you some feedback then, to keep you informed.

Hi MF,
I had a problem with changing my default temp folders installing another third party program, not any CR stuff.
I changed my temp folders back to the defaults and then it worked. I tried changing the permissions for all users on c:\temp and c:\tmp but that didn't help either for the other program.
Only way it would work was to use the default temp folder structure.
Try changing yours back to c:\User\appdata\local\temp
Clear the temp folder out first and try again.
Something, not sure if it was Windows or anti-virus or the firewall was blocking access. Odd that it gets part way so likely some third party dependency on that file doesn't like or get to your c:\temp folder.
Thanks
Don

Why to use Interface if methods are not implemented??

Hello,
I am having a problem to clearify as, why to use the interfaces which defines only methods and no implementation??
When a class implements an interface the methods are implemented by the class itself, don't you think that the same functionality can be achieved if the class defined the method itself...
The why to use interfaces, just that the same method name can be used by many classes or some other reasons..

did you google on that? There is lots of information I am sure explaining why you code to an interface defined type rather than a class defined type.
However, fundamentally you are correct, classes define their own type. The idea is that you use an interface because it allows you to have more than one implementation. Plus you can more easily change the structure of your program if you later wish if you did not use the class type directly.
You get better answers if you ask in the Patterns forum below.

CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot find documentation on what needs to be installed

My question is very elementary but I do not see anything in the release notes, etc. that tells me which of the 3 install files I need to iinstall or do I need to install all of them.
1 - SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
2 - SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (32-bit)
3 - SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit)
I want access to the WPF component in VS 2010 on a Win 7 64bit machine
Do I install all 3?? In what order? 1 - 2 - 3 as I've shown?
I have Crystal 2008 installed on my machine. Must I uninstall it to use the Crystal VS 2010 beta on that machine.
To date I tried installing just #1 above. I went into my VS 2010 selected the WPF and it blew up VS 2010, I tried doing the same with Winform and it also took out VS 2010.
I have since uninstalled everything. Could someone explain the procedure(s) for making the beta available to VS 2010 with a little more detail.
Thanks

Why even use iphoto?

My first experience with iphoto, it corrupted all of my picture files. Luckily I had them all saved on an external harddrive, so I didn't lose them. But many people don't do that and the risk of them losing all of their picture files using iphoto is high. And yes, I tried all of the things listed to rebuild the file and none of them worked. I spoke with tech support and they confirmed that all of my files were corrupted and useless.
So with the fact that the program is unstable and that it uses a system of "Aliases" that makes it impossible to locate your files outside of iphoto, or make any changes to them outside of iphoto... why even use it? It seems to me like it's set up solely to force the user into using only mac products.
Since it destroyed all of my files, I just keep my photos in folders that I created that make sense to ME and I use the program that came with my digital camera to edit them. If I need to look at them, I can see them in the Preview application.
Is there some other reason I should be using iphoto?

I posted because I have a question: why use iphoto? I want to hear someone tell me exactly why they use it and what they love about the program so I can figure out how I can use it to its fullest potential. Please, someone help me understand.
I'll tell you my story, in case it helps answer this question. Keep in mind that iPhoto has many capabilities, and each person can use it in a different way. Here I describe how I use it, past and present.
Pre iPhoto: After my first child was born I got a digital camera and a hand-me-down Mac. I uploaded photos to the hard drive and moved them around in the Finder. I renamed my files to try to help me remember the subject of the photos, tried to organize folders. I got Photoshop Elements and began editing. Then I had to keep edited photos separate from the unedited photos, to somehow know which was which. Some I downsized and uploaded to a sharing website. I needed to know which photos had been shared, so I kept them in another set of folders. If I printed or used photos in a project, I needed them in folders.
This led to rather a mess of folders, all using space in my hard drive. Say I had a photo, knew it was edited, wanted the original... could I find it? I tried managing the photos by date, but ended up with the same photos in different locations. It was very difficult for me to search the different file structures (all set up by me) and find the best version of a particular photo - I organized and reorganized many times, fighting an uphill battle.
Skip ahead to my next hand-me-down Mac, which had iPhoto. I imported my folders of photos. Now I could see them quickly without opening in Preview. It was easy to determine which were duplicates and keep the best one. I got all my images in one easy place and used it only to view my photos. Not knowing any better, I looked in the iPhoto Library folder and found lots of nested numeric folders. Many were empty. It seemed messy, so I consolidated (OOPS) those nasty folders. When I returned to iPhoto, my photos had been replaced with blank placeholders. This brought me to the Apple Discussions, where I learned the golden rule of iPhoto (and any database application): don't change things through the Finder. I put those folders all back and restored the links to all of the photos. It took some time, but I learned a valuable lesson.
Next Mac, iPhoto 5. I had many more photos in my library, since I didn't have to worry about how to file them. I even found all my old picture CDs and imported them to my library. I organized my Film Rolls and preferred film roll view to any other because it gave me a clear picture of my photo inventory. Need that photo from the baby's 2nd birthday? Just scroll to the roll, since rolls are basically chronological. My library was still relatively small and easily manageable.
Then I began to use Albums, but only for special projects. How do I know which photos were cropped 4 x 6 and printed? Because I collected them in an album. Since albums use practically no disc space, this was a great solution. Want to see the best photos from a special birthday? Smart albums are great. I only had to rate the photos, then set up a smart album based on rating and date. Then I could see my best pics from important events. From that, decide which to edit, print, upload, etc.
I had learned how to use Photoshop Elements 3 and was a much improved photo editor. However, I still used the Elements browser to open photos for editing. I saved my edited versions to folders outside of my library and managed them myself. I began to have that old problem of how to locate the best photo...
Bring in the iLife '06 upgrade. Around the same time I upgraded to Elements 4. I thought Bridge was cool, but I couldn't easily browse my iPhoto Library to open a photo. It was very difficult to predict whether the photo I wanted was in Originals or Modified. I came back to the Discussions and read the advice here: +use iPhoto to open the photos for editing in Elements+. It seemed strange at first, but after adding a keyword to identify photos that I have edited in Elements (means I took more time with them) I adjusted to the new workflow. I could edit my photos, identify the edited versions, and know that my originals were still safe if I should need them. No more stragglers and extra duplicates.
After using the one keyword with success, it occurred to me how useful they can be. I went through my entire library and added keywords to the photos. Want to see all photos of my daughter? Just click her name in the keyword pane, and the library is instantly filtered. If I need both kids in the photo, I just click to add his keyword to the filter. Want to exclude myself? (I usually do) Just Option-click my keyword and photos with me are removed from the sort. Need to filter by a special event? Click the birthday or Christmas keyword. It's amazing how many combinations there are using keywords alone. These days I rarely set up Smart Albums, since I can click on keywords for fast, flexible groupings of photos.
I remember my photos by when they were taken. Mostly. But my library keeps growing, and my memory keeps shrinking (alas). So there's the calendar tool. It filters the library by year, month, week, or date. One choice not enough? Shift-click to select a range or command-click to select non-adjacent items. Here's a really cool one: Option-click in the calendar tool to see that time range for every year in the library. Great for finding annual events, even if they aren't keyworded. *It's just so easy to filter the library in different ways, and it doesn't affect the underlying organization of my library.* That's one of the more fun aspects of iPhoto for me - I feel like I have endless flexibility in how I view and group my photos, yet I always go back to my photo inventory in film roll view.
Although I set up iPhoto to open Elements when I double-click, I can still edit in iPhoto by clicking the full-screen edit mode icon in the lower toolbar. This is convenient for a quick crop to a particular aspect ratio. Sometimes Elements is unable to correct the red-eye in a photo, and iPhoto 6 does it better. Elements only has an auto-correct, and when it fails, it fails. In iPhoto 6 there's a trick that turns the cursor into a circle, which can then be placed over the pupil and sized, to precisely define the area for red-eye correction. iPhoto 7 did one better and made this tool easy to access.
Here's a real example of how iPhoto worked for me. Last week we had a death in the family - an aunt. It was sudden, unexpected, and caught us all off-guard. There wasn't much I could do to comfort the family. But I have pictures in my Mac. I quickly filtered my library to locate all my photos of our aunt. I created an album and moved the worthy pictures into it. From the album, I went through and edited in Photoshop Elements. (That part took the longest.) I cropped them all to print dimensions. I printed the best one at 5 x 7 and placed into a frame as a gift. I selected the entire album for printing, loaded the photo paper in my printer, and cranked out a set of 4 x 6 borderless prints that look as good as drug store prints. I placed the prints in a little album and took it to the memorial service. Her daughter had never seen those photos and was touched, so I gave her the album. After all, to recreate it for my kids I only have to select the iPhoto Album, load my printer, and crank out another set.
Another example: One Spring Break I took my kids on a trip to visit my grandparents. While there, we all went to a museum of log cabins and windmills. I took lots of pictures at the museum, figuring I'd make a scrapbook. When I got home I wanted to share my pictures with my grandparents, but didn't want to have to create 2 scrapbooks. So I made a book in iPhoto which told the story of our day at the museum. I ordered one for us and one for my grandparents. It could have taken me weeks to complete a paper album; I did the iPhoto book in a day or two. They were thrilled to receive it, and they still think I am some sort of computer genius. I keep telling them iPhoto made it easy, but they have a PC and just don't get it. That's okay - it's fun being a genius in their eyes.
I hope my rambling answers your question about why I use iPhoto. I also hope that it is not just an endorsement, but answers some of your +technical questions+ about how to use iPhoto. That is, after all, the purpose of this forum. If you have any questions about how I achieved anything that I described here, by all means ask.
Regards.

In session and call tansaction methods, which is better . why?

hi
in session and call tansaction methods, which is better . why?

see the link:
<a href="http://www.itcserver.com/blog/2006/06/30/batch-input-vs-call-transaction/">batch inpunt VS call transaction</a>
"The most important aspects of the session interface are:
<b>Asynchronous processing</b>
Transfer data for multiple transactions
Synchronous database update. During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
A batch input processing log is generated for each session
Sessions cannot be generated in parallel. The batch input program must not open a session until it has closed the preceding session.
The most important features of CALL TRANSACTION USING are:
<b>Synchronous processing</b>
Transfer of data from an individual transaction each time the statement CALL TRANSACTION USING is called
You can update the database both synchronously and asynchronously. The program specifies the update type.
Separate LUW (Logical Units of Work) for the transaction. The system executes a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
No batch input processing log"
I hope I have been able to help you.
cordial greetings.

Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
backup databases.
Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

CRVS2010 Beta - Sporadic "This field name is not known. Details: errorKind"

I am running CRVS2010 Beta 2 on the VS2010 trial version. I have been converting reports to this new version, but sometimes I get the error:
This field name is not known. Details: errorKind Error in File XX11X1 {1X1111X1-1XX1-1X1X-111X-11111111X11X}.rpt: Error in formula tot-appr: '{@commited0}+{XX11X.AMT1} + {XX11X.AMT2} + {XX11X.AMT3} + {XX11X.AMT4} + {XX11X.AMT_FUT} ' This field name is not known. Details: errorKind
I have done a lot of searching on this forum, Google, and Bing, but it seems everyone who receives this error message has just created the report or moved it to a new database, and the error is caused by a mis-pointed formula. I don't have that problem: in my case, the report usually works.
I have tried querying the Oracle database immediately after receiving this error, and all the fields mentioned do exist, exactly where they ought to. The problem never exists when logging on with my own account, and sometimes works when logging on with other accounts, but I have not figured out a way to predict whether it will work or not.
I have four reports I am running: one always works, two get this sort of error sometimes, and one (which is formatted differently) always shows up without errors, but is sometimes inexplicably blank. I cannot figure out in what way the report that always works is different from the two with this error (aside from obvious issues of layout and querying different tables, I mean).
I'm at a loss for where to look next. I know this information won't be enough as-is, but I hope that your clarifying questions can help me find the error.
Thank you for your consideration.
EDIT: changed database names in case I get in trouble for revealing proprietary information, even though I don't think it's likely

Hello,
Are you using a data Set? I believe the System.Data.OracleClient is the .NET Oracle client but not sure and not sure how reliable it is or what it's based on.
What happens if you create a new report using the DataDirect OLE DB provide or Oracles OLE DB provide or use CR Oracle native driver?
In the Connection Wizard select Oracle, that's the native driver, then when set log on info you just specify the Server name, User and PW, leave the database blank.
Then what API's are you using to connect/set the log on info?
I'm guessing that the error you are getting is likely an indexing problem in the table names etc. but not sure. if you search in this forum on "crlogger.dll" you could enable our database logging component and it may give you more info on what the cause is.
Thank you
Don

Why to Use EJB rather then Direct Connection To Oracle Thru webDynpro?

Hi
Experts,
I want to know that why to use EJB to connect to oracle rather then direct connection via WebDynpro.
Please Give Me References to how to connect to oracle with EJB or WebDynpro.I want to tell you that i know JDBC,JAVA and basic web Dynpro.
Please Reply Me Dear Friends...ASAP.

EJB are better for a project beacuse the application is scalable, have less maintainence and have better performance.
Have you gone throght these:
Connect Oracle 9.2 DB to Web AS 6.40
web dynpro - database connection
web Dynpro application connecting to oracle
