Crystal Reports Visual Studio 2010 Report Viewer Not Rendering

Hello,
I was able to get Crystal Reports deployed in a web application in VS 2008 OK, but now I am having trouble with CR and VS 2010. For some reason the data and images for the report are being displayed, but the report viewer controls and background are not. I am not getting red Xs, the viewer is just not there. I have tried changing my references, I have installed the CR run time, and all permissions are correct. I am trying to get this up and running on the local machine. Has anyone dealt with this problem before?
thanks.

See if [this|Report Viewer not displaying on deployment server; thread helps.

Group Tree issue when refreshing- Crystal for Visual Studio 2010 WPF Viewer

Hello,
We've run into an issue when refreshing reports with the WPF viewer for Visual Studio 2010. After the report is refreshed, the Group Tree is blank and it should have values. For example, you run a report and see values in the Group Tree. If you refresh the report with the same parameter values the Group Tree is blank.
Has anyone run into this yet?
Thanks,
Tyler

That is correct.
I just did a quick test and was not able to reproduce the issue.
Details of test:
1) Create a new app;
File | New | Project
Visual Basic | reporting -> Crystal Reports WPF Application
2) Add the "Open File" button to the viewer (ShowOpenFileButton off of the WPF viewer properties)
3) Run app
4) Browse to a report that has a number of groups >250
5) Refresh report using the Refresh button on the viewer
I'll work on this a bit later today, see if I can repro it another way. Meanwhile, can you provide mode details (code) on how you repro the issue?

I get below errors u2013
Custom Tool Error : "Code generator 'ReportCodeGenerator' failed. Exception stack = CrystalDecisions.CrystalREports.Engine.LoadSAveReportException.Load Report Failed.
Then I tried to open same report in VS 2005 on Framework 2.0, I can open this report in design mode easily with no errors. In fact I installed Crystal report 9 on my machine and able to open this report in design mode.
Please could you help me, how to resolve this problem. How to refer Crystal 9 version references in VS 2003.

I believe this Crystal Reports managed assemblies are version 9.2.3300.

Crystal Report not listed Add New Item for Visual Studio 2010

I just finished installing cryestal report for visual studio 2010.
During the installation a visual studio error dialog popped up "Operation cannot be completed. Access Denied", the crystal report installation continued and was informed that the installation was successful.
But on opening my visual studio project to add new item, crystal report item is not listed there.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get it listed in the Add New Item dialog for visual studio?

I wonder what file you ran to install CRVS2010? Was it the MSI as opposed to the actual install file?
The link to the correct install is here:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
Is that the file you ran to install CRVS2010? E.g. as opposed to:

Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

Hello,
I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Thank's for your answers
Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
Dim report As New crPickingList
' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
EndIf
This error appears during "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
(I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)
David.

Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports

I converted an application that had been developed in VS2005 so that it would run in VS2010. The application contains several Crystal Reports. Now when I debug the application I can only view some of the reports. With the others I get an exception with the message "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project and try again."
The ones that work and the ones that don't all have the Build Action set to Embedded Resource. I have tried removing a report from the project and then adding it back, but that made no difference. A new report displayed fine.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could cause some of the reports to throw this exception?

OK, here is the link to the thread I am replying to Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports
And here is what I posted to start the thread that I am replying to:

As you can see, I have described the exception that occurs when I try to view some, but not all, or the reports while debugging. I have also tried deleting a report and adding it back in but it made no difference.
Is this enough information?

Crystal Report 13 Visual Studio 2010 SQL Server 2008 R2 ODBC Problem

Hi Everybody,
I am new in Crystal Report.
I developed a web application in Visual Studio 2010, and my Database is SQL Server 2008 R2.
I created reports using Crystal Report 13 in Visual Studio and my Operating System is Windows 7 32-Bit.
I used ODBC Connection System DNS for my application.
It is running fine even after Hosting on my local PC.
But it creates problem when hosted on my Team Leader PC and Test Server.
Their Configurations are same but only difference is "SQL Server 2008" Not R2
The Error I am getting is "Failed to open the connection".
When I Host the same on my another team member PC, I am getting the error like
"Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Database Connector Error: ' [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]' Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. TestVr {CE268132-D2BD-43EC-BE45-0BCD847FBCDA}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]"
I tried various solution to fix this bug.
But i am unable to do this and not getting any idea to fix this issue.
If anyone can guide I will be thankful to him.
All suggestions are appreciable.
Thank you

Most probably the issue is missing database client driver / provider.
Install the driver used to connect the rpt to the db on the server and then create a 32 bit DSN with the same name as the dev machine..
Hope this helps,

Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010

Hello,
Our company is using Crystal Report XIR2. We are going to migrate our applications using Crystal Report to Windows Server 2008 (64-bit), we have to upgrade the Crystal Report too as current version does not support 64-bit version. Which version of Crystal Report will be bundled in Visual Studio 2010? CR 2008 or a newer version?
Many thanks,
Peter

"Unknown". Certainly, at this time the info is not available publicly. It may even be the CR is not part of future builds of .NET (?). On the other hand, going by how these bundles have gone in the past, I'd suspect if there is a CR bundle or an add on of some sort, it will be what ever will be the current version minus 1. Will it be as fully featured as the currently shipping CR 2008? Again, go by past bundles. (E.g.; if there is something like CR 2010 out there, the bundle would probably be some variation of CR 2008). Will it be 64 bit? Again, consider the history; bundles that come with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008.

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime LICENCE

I want to welcome everyone. It's my first post on this forum.
I want to provide my Windows Form application to a client. This application was written in VS 2010 and it uses SAP Crystal Reports for generating simple report.
I've read [Crystal Reports Licensing Explained|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/10cd9e15-120d-2c10-3fb5-be299000b6b7&utm_source=crvs2010&utm_medium=lp&utm_campaign=licensing_explained] pdf and I've learnt that in my case redistribution of software that embeds the Crystal Reports runtime engine is free.
My question is:
Is there something else I must include in my application package for instance a licence file? Or maybe I just have to include SAP CR runtime or ask user to download it from the SAP web site and that's it?
Marcin

Hello Marcin,
Welcome.
Please note that whenever you distribute your application (which uses Crystal reports) to others who may not have Crystal designer product, you need to provide the runtimes along with the application. The runtimes provide the necessary dlls in the machine for running Crystal inside the app.
You can use an exe to install the CR runtimes and then deploy your app. OR you can include the msm files and create a deployment package.
You will get the runtimes for CR4VS2010 [here|/people/coy.yonce/blog/2010/11/12/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio-2010-production-release-now-availableCystlR%2528SAPWeblogs%253ACrystal+Reports%2529].

Image Quality In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

I am using the new production release of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and I am having an issue with image quality when adding an image to a crystal report.
The image itself is a .TIF file, and when opened in Windows, the quality of the image, which is mostly text, is very high. The image was created from a electronic PDF form and I intend to use this as a background for the crystal report, over which I will place data fields.
As soon as the image is added to the report you can see the degradation in quality in the design window and in the preview window within visual studio. The quality remains low when viewing the report in the WPF report viewer and when printing from this control.
I have ensured the "Retain Original Image Color Depth" option is checked but this has made no difference (the image is black and white anyway).
The image in the report has been left at its native size, no resizing at all. The image is 355KB in size if that's relevant.
Is there a reason the image looses quality when added to a report? Is it being compressed? More importantly, is there a way to make the image retain its native quality when adding it to a crystal report?
Thanks in advance.

The following image is the image I am trying to display. Although imageshack has converted it to a png, if you right click and save the image you can open it and zoom in with little image degradation.
http://img132.imageshack.us/i/j301.png
The following is a screen shot of how the tif file looks in the designer when zooming in:
http://img138.imageshack.us/i/j30lowquantity.jpg
The second image has lost its clarity and is unusable when printing.
I hope this helps.

Disabling copy feature in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 SP2

Hi ,
When I tried Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 SP2 , I saw a new feature which allows user to copy content of the report after selecting it. I am using .net 4.0 winform application. I want to suppress this feature. I want the selection of objects in report to work as earlier version. I could hide the copy icon in toolbar . But that doesn't change the way selections happens in the report . Please tell me how to suppress the copy feature completely when we use SP2 ?

Hi Jijo Paul,
We found a hidden method to disable the copy as it used to be. It is hidden meaning it's not supported so if you run into any problems using it or if it gets removed there is nothing we can do for you but give this a try:
// this hides the button and disables the CTRL C command
crystalReportViewer1.ShowCopyButton = false;
crystalReportViewer1.SelectionMode = CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode.None;
Thanks again
Don

Stand Alone Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

I wish to use the stand alone product to edit Crystal Report .rpt files created with Visual Studio 2010
Is CR 2011 stand alone.product the right tool?
Using CR 2008, I receive a warning message if I open a .rpt created al VS 2010.
Likewise, if I import the edited .rpt file to VS, another message pop ups saying that it will be updated to a newer version.
Thank you in advance
Edited by: Roberto Mirelman on Oct 21, 2011 2:59 PM

You are correct.
CR 2011 reports can be run in CR for VS 2010.
Technically you can still use CR 2008 to edit your reports and shouldnt see any problems other than getting the prompt all the time. I am not sure if using CR 2011 will cause prompting as well so you may want to try it our using the trial version first.

Crystal Reports Version for Visual Studio 2010 Fails to Install

Hi -
I am trying to install the CR redistribution package for .Net 4. When I run CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi I get an Error 1904 when it tries to register the commonobjmodel.dll. If I manually register the dll using regsvr32 I get the following message:
"The module 'commonobjmodel.dll' failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored
at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files."
The dll does exist and is in the correct directory. Is there another installer I should be using?
Thanks.
