How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

  • Alternative to craxddrt dll in crystal report 2008

    Hi,
    I have been using crystal report 8.5 where there was a control called RDC for end users to design the report which uses craxddrt dll. Now we have purchased crystal report 2008 and we have the same requirement but since RDC is not supported now,  could you please guide how to implement the logic of RDC in Crystal report 2008 with Visual Studio 2008?
    Your help will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vibhuti

    Hi, Vibhuti;
    It's not that the RDC is not supported with CR 2008, it does not exist. You will have to use the .NET assemblies.
    See the thread at the top of this forum for some getting started tips:

  • How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

    Hi all,
    Is it possible  to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
    If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
    Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
    The  jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

    I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

    Symptom
    When attempting to start Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
    "Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll".
    Cause :
    The error message occurs because the CommonFiles entry has the wrong path in the registry.
    Resolution :
    CAUTION 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. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    To resolve the error message
    Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
    Type "regedit" in the Open: text field. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears.
    Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCLAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.5Crystal Reports.
    Double-click the CommonFiles string. The Edit String dialog box appears.
    Ensure that the path points to the location of <installation directory>Common3.5 in.
    For example, the default location is the following: C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.5 in.

    Hi Amol,
    Are you able to execute your stored procedure from oracle?.
    - If "Yes" then use  the Crystal Report XIR2 Designer to create the report.
    - Import this report in the Crystal Report For Eclipse Workbench.
    - The latest version for Crystal Report For Eclipse is SP1.
    Please let me know the results.
    Thanks,

  • How to use OLAP cubes in Crystal Reports R2?

    Dear All,
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue: We are trying to link Crystal Reports XI-R2 with an OLAP cube but the login keeps on failing while the same setup/connection works with Excel.
    The OLAP cubes are created through SSAS 2008 and require a windows account for authentication. Because it works via Excel (through pivot table --> external data) the cubes are accessible and the username & password are correctly as well.
    Through the OLAP wizard in Crystal Reports the following message is displayed: "The connection could not be established. The logon attempt failed".
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Please check the trouble shooting guide in this article: /people/reuben.cox/blog/2009/12/10/troubleshooting-olap-connectivity-in-business-objects-products
    If, after performing these tasks, it still doesn't work, please reply back to this thread with more details about what you have tried and what doesn't work.

  • How to get an UFL into Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello,
    I created an UFL in Visual Basic, built .dll, registered it successfuly with RegAsm and added to GAC. Yet I still can't see the functions in Additional Functions.
    DLL source code:
    <Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(True)>
    Public Class Class1
        Public Function UFLTest1() As String
            UFLTest1 = "Hello"
        End Function
        Public Function UFLTest2(ByVal sVal As String) As String
            UFLTest2 = "Hello, " & sVal
        End Function
    End Class
    In VB project properties, Make assembly COM-visible is checked. .NET framework 3.5 has been used. I copied the .dll to directory c:\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\ and registered by RegAsm from there (and added to GAC).
    Any idea what can be wrong ?
    Thanks,
    Jakub

    Ok, solved it.
    If anyone fights with writing UFL, check [Microsoft MSDN|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227603%28v=VS.90%29.aspx] and follow it step by step (and I mean STEP BY STEP, any single checkbox missed and it's not gonna work).

  • Using HTML script in Crystal Reports??

    Can anyone let me know how to use HTML scripts in Crystal Reports?
    I just need to develop report using HTML so that the output of the report will be in RIch text fomat

    Hi,
    You can't design a report using HTML script.  I'm not exactly clear on what you want to do but if you have an HTML app, you have to design the report in Crystal and from your application, call the viewer.  This will allow you to have the report appear in your program. 
    If you are talking about formatting the report, you can set each object as a class in your CSS and call it from your program. 
    I guess a little more information on what you are trying to accomplish may help answer your question more directly.
    Thanks,

  • How to use dynamic parameter when a report is created using Stored Procedures

    Hi all,
    any one have the idea of how to use dynamic parameter in crystal report XI R2
    when report is created using Stored Procedure.
    Regards
    shashi kant chauhan

    Hi
    You can create an SQL command in Database Expert > Expand your datasource > Add command
    Then enter the SQL query that will create the list of values to supply to the user
    eg select field1,field2 from table
    Then edit the parameter of the report.  These will be the SP parameters adn can be seen in field explorer.
    Change the parameter type to Dynamic
    Under the word Value click on Click here to add item
    Scroll down to your Command and select one of the values that you want to appear in the list
    e.g field1
    Then click on the Parameters field - this is essential to create the param
    You can edit other options as required
    That should do it for you.
    I must say that i use CR 2008 connected to Oracle 10g SP, but i reckon this will work for SQL DB and CR XI as well
    Best of luck
