Get error when passing server name to Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2012

Hello,
I work on Visual Studio 2012 with Crystal Report 13.0.12 (both developer and run-time). When I pass the name of the server to the Crystal Reports, I get an error -- Failed to open the connection. Database Vendor Code 17. I use SQL OLEDB as the provider. It worked before. Not sure what has happened.
Any help is much appreciated!!!

I want to use Crystal Report for a Web Application which has to be hosted in Web servers. Please let me know whether the developer version of Crystal Report Downloaded for development purpose can be used for hosting purpose also?

No images when deploying Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: wcl
CA Forum: Publishing
Developed a ASP.Net web site that uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005, everything works fine locally.
Following instructions from http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#07 a deployment package has been created using CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86 merge module and the website has been installed.
When it is deployed to a remote development server the report images are not displayed. The report navigation works, it is the images that are not found when the report is displayed.
Should the vs2005 key be entered some where on the remote server?

CA Forum: Publishing
Thnakyou very much for your quick reply.
The directory has not been created by the merge module, which folder should it be created in and what contetants should it have?
<-edit>
an example of an image it can not find is "/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3/images/toolbar/upd.gif", so does the folder '/aspnet_client/System_Web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer3' need setting up?

How to get Crystal Reports for Visual studio Download

I'm confused! All the links seem to take me to this page SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
It has lots of fixes and updates but I can't seem to find the actual Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010 download. What am I missing? Am I just blind?
EDIT - I reread the page "All support packs are full builds of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010/2012, thus it is not necessary to update incrementally" Does this mean the update download includes everything I need to integrate CR with my Visual Studio 2010? If so, is it save to install the update over a previously installed version? I have one machine that has both CR for VS 2005 and CR for VS 2010.
thanks for any advise

Does this mean the update download includes everything I need to integrate CR with my Visual Studio 2010?
Yes.
Follow the below procedure to integrate CR for VS 2010 with VS 2010.
from the link http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 download 'Support Pack 10 Install executable' (first row first column).
Make sure you have VS 2010 installed. Now install the above downloaded exe on top of VS 2010.
That is it, above steps should integrate CR with VS 2010.
Even if you have a previous version of CR for VS 2010 installed, iw ould not make a difference as it is not a incremental build but a full build.
I hope this clears the confusion.

Error in upgrade Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 to SP1

During the installation of SP1 of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (RTM was already installed) I got an error message saying:
Error 2753. The file "agent.exe.6ED28686_7B19_420C_B255_5B6C1BD2C705" is not marked for installation.
After a rerun of the setup program (choosing reinstall) the message did not re-appear.
It happens on Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Is this a bug in the installation or an "undocumented feature"?
Regards,
Adri

Hi Adri,
I had that error once and one other poster also had it. Like you I just re-installed and no error on the second round.
I believe it was some Windows Process had the file locked for some reason. It's not a bug or "undocumented feature" it's a Windows OS thingy....
Before uninstalling anything it may be a recommendation to reboot first and not load anything that may be locking dependencies.
How many times have you seen this?
Thank you

JavaScript Error in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2013 - revisited

With the newly-released Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2013, I was receiving the following error:
Unhandled exception at line 37, column 59140 in http://localhost:4486/cfb341e5bcca4ae88166b78e20276d73/browserLink
0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: input#__CRYSTALSTATEctl00$MainContent$CrystalReportViewer1
It turns out that this is related to the Browser Link Visual Studio add-in. You can either ignore the error, or disable Browser Link.

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

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

Hello,
I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
Crystal Report Viever
Failed to load database information
Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You
Ludek

Hi Ludek,
1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
Thanks,

DRIVER=SQL Server
UID=sa
PWD=sa
DATABASE=HRISDB
WSID=S-AGD-PAY01\HRSERVER
APP=Microsoft Data Access Components
SERVER=S-AGD-PAY01\HRSERVER
so it is dynamic bcoz i need change server name sometimes. my question is when same report want show user from their pc then below screen appears:
database login
server Name: C:\program files\HRIS\HRISDB.dsn
Databse: HRISDB
user id:
PassworD:
Integrated Security: it is checked and a finish button.
(i am sorry bcoz screenshort is not attaching so I write above what in the diagloag box for you)
then i need to uncheck the use integrated security and click finish then the reports come. THis is very annoying for my clients.

Unlucky enough, Microsoft does not support Crystal reports anymore for many years.

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and (Wcf) Web Services

I´m evaluating Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010. I want to read data from a (Wcf) Webservice into the predefined Reports and deliver them to the Users in an ASP.NET Application. As far as I see reading Webservices via the XML/Webservice datasource works good in the Crystal Reports 2011 Applications - But I have Problems with the Integration of the XML/Webservice datasource in the CRVS2010 Environment.
I read your Article on sdn: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13732
which helped us to enable the XML Datasource in the CRVS2010 environment on a Machine where Crystal Reports 2011 and VS2010 is installed, but this required copying DLL´s and installing the JRE.
But I´m not able to run the XML/Webservices datasource on a webserver in a ASP.NET Application where Crystal Reports 2011 is not installed (only the runtime) - the above post doesn´t help because the path structure is completely different on my machine. Is there a manual, which helps me to enable the XML datasoucre and the CRVS2010 runtime ?
I´m not sure if reading XML is the best practice for a new Project, especially after reading your article at http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1952093
I´m now evaluating ADO.NET XML as mentioned in your article, but I´m not sure if this is the right decision.
Is there a a new version for Visual Studio 2010 of the u2022csharp_web_adonet.zip example ?
BTW: All examples in the Sample Code for Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010 reference Assemblies in Version 14, which are not present on my machine. I had to find/replave 14 through 13, before they are compilable. Did I made a mistake during installation ?

Hi Henrik,
First of all you didn't make any mistake installing CRVS2010. It has assemblies with version 13.x
Now as far as patches are concerned ensure that you are on SP2. You can get runtime and patch from following:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystal-xcelsius-support?rid=/webcontent/uuid/d01fdad8-44e5-2d10-61ad-9d2d4158f3a8
You can opt for AD.NET as one of the datasource but what is the error/ warning you get when you use Web Serive as datasource?
You can find the latest samples created for CR2008 here

156" width Crystal Report with Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: kunchesm
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
I have a requirement to design a 156" width report (for exporting to Excel). And naturally i dont have printers to support this huge width reports (as these reports are not used for printing but just for exporting to Excel).
One of the option which i have tried to design these reports is -
- Installed MIcrosoft XPS Document writer and
- Created a new server form (in Printers&Faxes>File>Server Properties) and assigned my custom width & Height for the paper size as per my requirement
- Used this printer and form in my crystal report
Now, my question... is there any better alternative or option to design huge width Crystal reports in Visual studio 2005? Any help in this regard is highly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards

Hi Ganesh,
So it all depends on how you created your WEB Project. If it was a CR Web App then no issues, if it was a WEB Form app then no issues except you need to copy the whole folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\VS2013WebsiteCR\aspnet_client
to your app folder, maybe...
If it was an empty WEB app then it may be an issue with permissions ( more on this soon once we do some testing, R&D may have provided a work around to get IIS Express to work, not sure about using IIS directly.
Also search on Sessions and PostBacks, to get the second page you need to keep the session open/active. If not you may get nothing ot the same page everytime.

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

I'm still having problems with this registration issue.
I'm using InstallShield 2011 for the installation setup.
I've included the CRRuntime_13_0.msm file. (That is the only MSM file I included, are the others needed also?)
I've included the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64 and the x86 versions)
I have tried to do a test install on both a 64bit and a 32bit Windows 7 computer and it keeps giving me the crtslv.dll failed to register error on both computers. I thought it might just be due to the 32 bit MSM causing the problem on the 64bit computer, but I can't even get it to install on a 32bit computer. (On the 32bit computer, I even removed the x64 bit version of the MS C++ 2005 Redistributable just to make sure it wasn't causing a problem).
Can anyone give me any more suggestions?
I need our application to be installed on both 32bit and 64bit computers. Is only having the 32bit MSM going to cause me problems? I'm not real familiar with trying to include the runtime exe's instead of the MSM and knowing which one would need to be installed on a particular type computer.

I am not really familiar with all of the options for charting and what is or isnt in the bundled version.
You can download the CR XI R2 developer edition eval from the website and see if it gives you the graph options that you want. If it does then I think you can buy it at an upgrade price since you already have the bundled edition.
