How to get Crystal Reports Editor in Visual Studio 2013 Preview?

In Visual Studio 2005, if I double-click a *.RPT file in Solution Explorer, the file opens in the Crystal Reports editor.
In Visual Studio 2013 Preview, if I double-click a *.RPT file, it opens in Notepad. How do I get it to use the Crystal Reports editor again, please?
Thanks and RICKgards
Rick Raubenheimer

Hi Rick,
Since Visual Studio 2013 is still Preview version, I don't think you can find something like this:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - 2012
Please notice that you will need to install additional packages for latest VS version, such as Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012,
For more details, please reopen a new case on this forum:
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype[thread]
Or contact SAP for support since it is a third party feature to Visual Studio.
Best regards,
Barry Wang

Keycode missing in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I just upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 Professional to Visual Studio 2008 Professional (with SP1 installed also). Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 is listed as installed under the VS Help dialog, but no key code is shown. And when I attempt to open a Crystal Report, I get a dialog saying 'Please wait while Windows configures Crystal Reports Basic', which eventually terminates with an 'Invalid Keycode' message.
I've tried repairing the Visual Studio install, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing. To no avail.
Other facts: My VS 2005 version still works with its version of Crystal Reports. I am running Vista Professional. Looking in the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | VSNET | Keycodes | CR9 NET, I see a Type REG_SZ with a data value in the form xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [6 chars-7 chars-26 chars].
Help! How do I get Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to work?

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your response. I do have versions of Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, and the earlier versions of Crystal Reports worked with these versions. In addition to the registry key I cited earlier (which I now understand is a VS 2003 version), there is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.2 | Crystal Reports | KeyCodes | CR Ent. I see that you are correct, and this corresponds to my VS 2005 installation (which still works). However, there is NO entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.5 (the CR Basic for Visual Studio 2008 path you indicated). There is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Business Objects | 10.5 | Crystal Reports, but it has only keys for ChartSupportPath, CommonFiles, DisablecheckForUpdates, and Path.
The Windows\assembly folder has 25 files that are CrystalDecisions.xxx, version 10.5.3700.0. This is consistent with my seeing 'Crystal Reports' listed as installed in VS 2008 Help. But no KeyCode!
I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of VS 2008, without luck. I can't clean my system of earlier verions of Crystal Reports, because I am still supporting a body of work that I did under VS 2005, and I can't convert all this stuff to 2008 -- at least until I have a fully working VS 2008 suite. After this experience, I fear that if I were to uninstall an earlier version, i might never get it back!
I've spend quite a few hours on this with no luck, so any help would be enormously appreciated.

An error in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Greetings from Peru,
We have a problem with one of the Crystal Reports products weu2019d like you to help us with. We work with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
The error weu2019ve detected is in one of our systemu2019s reports; this report shows data inside frames. When the content to show is larger (in height) than the space left in the page, the container object of the report makes a line break keeping the title and the frame empty at the end of that page, but the information is shown in the next page. What we need is that not empty frame is displayed.
Weu2019ve tried to solve this problem by adjusting the report in different ways (by programming coding), but unfortunately this problem is related to how much data is displayed, because if this data fit in the space left in the page, the line break would not occurs and the data is shown at the end of the same page.
We hope you can help us with this issue. I look forward to your comments.

All I can think of is trying CR 2008 (v.12.x). You can obtain an eval copy from here:

Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 Problem

Dear all,
I encounter a problem after installed the crystal report version for Visual Studio 2010. Once I call
                       ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 0, 0)
The error message prompt:
Report is unavailable(Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name:index)
If I try
                         ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 1, 1)
It can print the 1st page of the report.
I also try to create a simple report. It works.
After installed this version, my reports also encounter the same problem in Visual Studio 2008.
My report has sub-reports. My PC is Windows XP.
Anybody has idea on this issue!?

Now you can set the various printer options using the PrintOutputController. I'm using a UI box to select the printer but your developer should be able to figure this out. If not you can include him in the e-mail, it would be fine to go direct. Of course you will stay in the thread:
     private void btnSetPrinter_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
          System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
          // Use the next line if you need to, you'll ahve to test. Depends on how the reports were saved.
            //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
            //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRPrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;

                    MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                    MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)

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:
[https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
Try to search Business Objects Note regarding this from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-notes]

Deploying crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008 for VB6

My application has a module in .net and other in vb6.
I have a problem on deploying crystal reports in client machines, for module in vb6.
The vb6 application uses crystal viewer control obtained from crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.
What type of deployment should I use?
Currently, I have a setup with prerequisite "crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008".
But I think it misses the dlls crviewer.dll and craxddrt.dll, so I put them in setup and with the register COM options, and it works, but it's not working very well.
When I open a form that uses crystal viewer, the setup (I have created) is lunched and says that have to restart machine. Then it opens the report, but the next time I use the application it does the same thing.

Ok, thank's for the posts, they help so much.
So I'm going to discard vb6 and move to .NET, but... there is a problem:
Many reports have parameters that are asked before showing the report.
The Crystal Viewer that is used in VB6 version isn't the same used in .NET.
The viewer of VB6 asks the parameters in the way we want, however the .NET crystal viewer ask's the parameters in way that we don't like, because we have to do next -> next -> next...
The links above show the diferences:
VB6 -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249249283702618322
.NET -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249246459437178242
There is a way to configure Crystal Viewer, so that parameters asking form will work like the vb6 away?

Customize Styles for Report Wizard in Visual Studio 2013

I'd like to customize the styles defined for the Reporting Wizard in Visual Studio 2013.
There was a writeup for doing so that pointed to editing the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Business Intelligence Wizards\Reports\Styles\en\StyleTemplates.xml
However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Could someone point me to where the style definition is?
Thanks in advance.
Doug.

Hi Doug,
>>However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SSRS?

How do I enable parent paths in Visual Studio 2013?

I am converting a classic ASP site to a Visual Studio 2013 MVC. When I run the ASP code inside of the Visual Studio 2013 debugger I get the following error message. How can I enable parent paths in 2013?
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/prospect/contact/contact_search.asp, line 33
The Include file '../menu_inc/contacts.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I discovered the answer myself. Here is how I did it.
I opened Task Manager and saw that Visual Studio was running processes of IISExpress for the web server functionality.
I clicked on Start and entered IISExpress to find out where it was installed. To my surprise, but an obvious choice, it was located in documents.
I opened the C:\Users\Mike\Documents\IISExpress\config folder then opened Notepad as an administrator. I then opened the applicationhost.config file and under the <system.webServer> element there is an <asp> element. I modified it
to read. <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" enableParentPaths="true">
I then opened by MVC solution and ran the Classic ASP program without any problems. Everything works!

SSRS Report Designer in Visual Studio 2013

Hi all. Does anyone know what I need to install to be able to open rptproj projects in VS2013? I found a page which says it is possible, but it doesn't go on to explain what I need to install to make it happen.
It seems that every version of VS that comes out this is a problem. They never make it clear and you end up spending hours trying to find out how to do it...
Thanks

Hi BuckBuchanan,
If we want to create SQL Server Business intelligence projects on Visual Studio, we need install SSDT-BI for Visual Studio. However, the SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013 has not been release, so we cannot create SQL Server Business intelligence projects on
Visual Studio 2013. The commercial release of SSDT-BI is expected to be based on the newer Visual Studio 2013 in conjunction with the commercial release of the SQL Server 2014. For the detail information about it, please refer to following link.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2013/11/13/microsoft-sql-server-data-tools-update.aspx

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.

Integrating crystal report into the visual studio standard edition IDE

I have visual studio 2005 standard edition. I need to upgrade some asp.net reports that were done using visual studio 2003.
I have just install Crystal Reports XI developer edition version 11.0.0.1282. How can I integrate Crystal into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE?

Hi
I would like to inform you that VS 2005 is only compatible with CR XI R2 and CR 2008.
Have look in supported platform guide:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/bosap-support
You need to upgrade CRXI to CRXIR2 then try to solve this issue.
To download the CR XI R2 follow the instructions given below:-
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
u2022 To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
How do you manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI?
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
==========
WARNING:
This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys.
Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
==========
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
u2022 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
u2022 C:\Program Files\Business Objects
====================
NOTE:
Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
====================
2. Delete the following registry keys:
====================
WARNING:
The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP:
For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
====================
u2022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects
(The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.)
====================
NOTE:
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
After deleting the CR XI from the system install the CR XI R2 full build and provide the same key as you provided in CR XI.
URL to download CR XI R2 is: - http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Click on
Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007
I would suggest to use the latest service pack of CR XI R2 i.e. Service Pack 4.
to download SP4 click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2].
Note:- before installing SP4 - you must have installed CR XI R2 SP2
Hope this helps!!

Crystal Report 10 in Visual Studio 2008

Hello,
Is there a formal process to make Visual Studio 2008 work with Crystal Report version 10? Are there specific files that need to be installed? Any problems to watch for. I currently tried to port Visual Studio 2003 solution that had working Crystal Reports 10 code and I have received some errors relating to ReportDocument (but there could be other). Anyway, maybe there are some basics I am missing.
Thanks.

When I double click on the report (.rpt) file, I am getting Microsoft Windows dialog with the following message:
      Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 has stopped working.
      Windows can try to restart the program.
      --> Restart the program
     --> Debug the Program
When I click Debug the Program, I see following:
   Unhandled exception at 0x18205950 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.
   Top 3 Call Stack lines at this point are:
   18205950()
   CRDesigner.dll!3e043d7a()
   [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for CRDesigner.dll]
   When I click Break in debug window I see:
   No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."
   Windows has triggered a breakpoint in devenv.exe.
   This may be due to a corruption of the heap, which indicates a bug in devenv.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded.
I do not see Crystal Reports 10.xx under reference list. How do I go back to the version of reports originally created in? If I am not able to work the Crystal Reports 2008, I want to go back to 10.xx and drop the idea of considering upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
