Crystal report with chart und Visual studio 2008

Hi, I have a question.
It is possible to affect a dynamic Title of a chart in Crystal Report.
I want to use the same Report to make different report and I want to know if we can affect the Text property of the Chart with the code-behind from Visual Studio.
Thanks for your response

I don't believe it's possible to programatically change the text boxes of a chart, but you could delete the title and use a formula in it's place.

Visual Studio - Crystal Report: Abnormal Behavior from Crystal Report with Charts

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Report 13 under visual studio 2012 where i build a report that contain pie chart and bar Chart in two different sections in the report header the report get the data from a DataTable.When i display the report in Crystal Report Viewer it is fine and as expected but when printing the report i get the first chart overriding the second chart: here the right report as displayed in CRV:
And here the wrong print out where the pie chart is duplicate and override the bar chart:
I inserted both charts in two sections in Report header and they get the data from the same DataTable. the pie chart: On change of: Discipline show values SumTotals and the Bar Chart On Change of Disciplie show values SumTotals and SumCompleted. I need your help to prevent Pie chart form overriding the bar chart by duplicating itself
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hussein
I moved your post to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio
SCN Space.
First I'd like to make sure you are using Service Pack 8 for CRVS:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
(Note SP 9 should be releasing in a few days - if yo want to wait).
Next, what happens if as a test, you export the report to an rpt file format and then view it in the designer without refreshing?
Is this a web or a win app?

Running version of Crystal Reports bunded in MS Visual Studio on web farm

Hello,
I did a search before posting this and could not find where someone had posted the question previously, but I apologize in advance if it is redundant to something already asked and answered.
I am part of a sysadmin organization, and some of the developers we host on our servers came to us asking to put the free version of the Crystal Reports DLL that comes bundled with Visual Studio on our IIS web farm servers.
We looked at the doco on the MS site regarding this, and in the licensing section we found reference to, as best we can interpret it, not using the free bundled version in a web farm to try to overcome the default 5 user limit. At least that is our understanding of the text we saw at MS' site.
MS refers support questions to Business Objects, thus I am posting this question to find out if it is legitimate or not to use the free Crystal Reports object our developers got from MS on a multiple server IIS web farm.
Basically, we want to stay legitimate as far as software on our servers.
Secondly, as we understand the doco, there is only web forum support for the free tool, so if our developers have a production issue and come to us, our only recourse will be to post a question here?
Thank you in advance for your answers and clarification. Have a great day!

Hello John,
I found this bundled Crystal Reports licensing link on MSDN - [Licensing and support for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789]. As you'll see, this kbase article says that the bundle editions of Crystal Reports are not licensed for use with web farms.
If you have other support issues and you can not find answers on these forums you can purchase a support contract or an individual support case. You can purchase a single case from the [Online Store|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300]. Or in the US you can call the Sales team at 1-800-877-2340, Option 2. They can assist with support contract questions, and I believe they can assist with single case purchase questions.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Crystal Report errors when installing visual studio 2010 app

I'm trying to install a Visual Studio 2010 application on two client's machines and I get a different error on each one. Both errors point to Crystal Reports.
I have a feeling that I'm supposed to install something on the client's machines but I'm not sure what.
The first client's error says that CrystalDecisions.Windows.Form Version 13.0.2000.0 cannot be loaded.
The second client's error says that FlashControlV71. Version 1.0.3187.32366 needs to be installed in the GAC.
What am I supposed to install on the client's machines? Or if that's not the problem, what is causing the errors?
This is my first visual studio app so I'm a complete newbie.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks for your reply. I installed the runtime (x64) and am now getting a new error on the first client's machine. I think it's telling me that I installed the wrong version of the runtime. The client is running x64t Win 7 so I chose the x64 runtime to install.
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception. ---> CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

How to control which Configuration File a package Opens with in MS Visual Studio 2008 ?

When running our jobs, I know which Configuration File is being used, as it's specified in the path.
But when opening SSIS Jobs in MS Visual Studio, lets say there is four different Config files.
How do you control which one is used when you are working with the job in Visual Studio?
For example in the above screen, you can 'Add' or 'Edit' or 'Remove' Configurations but you can seem to say
"Reload this package with x Configuration", or "Select this particular one at the moment" for instance?

The configuration file mentioned last in the above screen is the one loaded last and the values of this file are applied. You can specify the sequence of the file with the arrow buttons on the right in case if you want a different config file to be loaded
in development and then change them back when you are deploying the package as a job.

Crystal Runtime 10.5 for Visual Studio 2008 - viewer/full version support

Hi - can reports developed in VS 2008 (CR basic 10.5) be run externally using a full or viewer version ? If so, is there a restriction on which versions can be used for this (2008 / 11 / 13 etc) and whether the version must be full vs viewer ?
The background is that we have an old asp.net 3.5 system that is being migrated from Windows 2008 / IIS 7 to Windows 2012 / IIS 8 - the app runs fine but it seems the 10.5 runtime is no longer supported. Recompilation using VS 2010 isn't an option so I was looking at client-side solutions if possible to run the reports outside of the .net app - preferably using a free viewer as the reports will not be re-designed.
I'm hoping this is a straightforward question but I've checked a few sites/forums and this isn't very clear. Grateful if someone can advise or point me to a site which clearly covers this.
Thanks.

I don't know if you are looking for a web or win viewer, but as you are mentioning servers, I assume you are looking for some sort of a web viewer(?). And there is no such thing. There is a Windows viewer:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29774.
CR 10.5 is supported - will be until Dec. 31, 2018: SAP Crystal Products - End of Mainstream Maintenance Dates: Current Products
However there are no fixes planned. Additionally CR 10.5 does not support WIN 2012. CR 2008 (v. 12.x) is supported in VS 2008 and when updated to Service Pack 7, you will get support for WIN 2012. See SAP Crystal Reports 2008 SP7 for Windows - Supported Platforms.
So, in a nutshell; upgrade the app to CR 2008, SP 7 and all should be fine.

Using Crystal Reports XI with Visual studio 2008 C#

Hi,
I am trying to add some reports which have been created to a C# web application using the Crystal Reports web viewer in Visual Studio 2008. The reports use SQL authentication instead of integrated authentication.
Everytime the page with the report viewer is loaded, im prompted for my logon details. I dont want the end users to be doing this. How do i integrate the logon details into my application so that it doesnt keep prompting using C#?? Also i have parameters which produce a drop down box of available values...this does not work within the web application but does in Crystal Reports.
Any help would be good with examples in C# please. Ideally i would like to hold the connection info in the web.config however i dont know if this is possible.
Thanks

Hi Vishal,
Here's a link to the platforms for SP5:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/907e6412-a7ac-2b10-23a8-f837fcc78a37
If the link doesn't work then go to this one: Articles
And select the the CR version and look for the specific patch level. If you don't have patches installed I would suggest downloading and installing to get up to SP5.
It does not indicate .NET 2008 so it's not been tested, it may work but if you run into any issues we don't have an escalation path to get it fixed.
Thank you

Looping login screen in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008

Hello,
I am using Visual Studio 2008 with the Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008. Visual Studio and the Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 (x64) are installed on both the development and production boxes. I am using Crystal Reports via Visual Studio and do not have the full blown version of Crystal Reports installed on my machine.
We have used Visual Studio to create an aspx webpage and would like to use Crystal Reports to display a graph. The report displays fine in debug mode, but displays a looping login screen when moved into production on the web server. The web server is using Windows Server 2008 (x64) with IIS 7. We have tried passing the logon parameters to the crystal report during the page init event with the auto-bind feature enabled on the crystal report viewer. A MySQL database provides the data for the report. All ODBC data sources have been configured the same on both machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,
Use a tool called ProcessMonitor from Microsoft and watch what happens when you try to log on.
Also can you verify you created your DSN using the 64 bit ODBC Admin and that you are using a System DSN so IIS can find it.
And that the MySQL ODBC drive is also 64 bit?
If you can read ODBC trace logs you could enable it also and see what error you are getting.
Thank you
Don

Deploying Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I have Windows Forms project using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008
I can't find the merge module to include in the setup project like I used to do in Visual Studio .NET 2003
Everyone seems to say that they don't exist for that version of Crystal Reports
After searching for a long time I found something about a package located at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x86.msi
Tried it and it seems to work.
Do I have to install this to the client computer ? Is that the only way having a "Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008" in the program list of the client computer ?

Hi Victor,
We can download all the runtimes from the following link:

ODAC with Oracle 10g and Visual Studio 2008

Hello-
Is the an ODAC version supporting Oracle 10g with tools for Visual Studio 2008? I've installed the ODAC 11.2 version for VS 2008, however the Oracle data source connection does not display for the Data Entity Model, only the usual SQL Server connections.
Thank you in advance!

Hello again-
First off, thank you for prompt reply. After poring over some of the postings, I'm gaining an understanding of when ODAC and the Entity Designer marriage came together and your answer solidified it.
My situation is I've developed an ODATA service with VS2010, Oracle 11g and ODTwithODAC112030 and everything works fine. I then deploy the service to the company's Windows 2003 server using Oracle 10g. I've also went ahead an installed the ODTwithODAC112030 on the server and copied the tnsnames.ora file into the oracle client's directory associated with the ODAC installation. When I query the Oracle database's metadata in IE, e.g. http://localhost:8050/DataMgmt/$metadata, a listing is displayed as expected; however, when I query a particlar database table listed in the metadata, an error is returned that the request could not be processed. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Failed to Load database information - Crystal report with XML as datasource

Hello Friends:
I am getting the attached error when i try to load the Crystal Report with XML as data source.
I have designed the crystal report with the sample XML provided with XSD schema (PFA I have attached the XML and XSD). It is working as expected on design time. But it is failing when I load it from C# code.
Note: I have referred the following DLLs of version 13.0.2000.0 in my sample application.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
Please let me know what should be done in order to resolve this.
Thank you!

All I know is that you are using 'SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET". No idea what service pack or what version of .NET...
So. make sure you are on SP 9:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Search for KBA 1525432 (search box is in top right corner) and follow the instructions there.
Remove your reference to CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
Add the following references:
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
CrystalDecisions.Web (if web app)
CrystalDecisions.Windows (if win app)
I'd also recommend commenting out the export code for now; one step at a time. Get it to work in the viewer, then move on... No Big Bangs

Can anyone here help please?

Hi Vanna
What would I have to do to get this error? E.g.; I suspect if you try to run any of the example apps from here: Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki, you will not have issues. So, how do I get the error?
Also, make sure you ran the CR install exe, not the MSI when installing SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET.

Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: relliott
CA Forum: .NET
If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008. The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report. This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter. If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded. Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047. These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich Elliott

Hi Bontrager,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
Reference:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
In addition, since this forum is
to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So if you have any issue about the
Crystal Reports, I suggest you can ask the issue to the
SAP Crystal Reports website:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%255bthread
as pvdg42 pervious suggestion, it will be better support.
Thanks for your understanding.
