Visual Studio 2005 - Display images in Crystal Report

I have been tyring to import an image from the HD into crystal reports. I have been failing miserably. I have researched the web and the forum and tired the approaches and still no luck.
I do not use a database and am using the crystal report that came with VS 2005 PRO. What version of CR do I have?
I have tried adding OLE object and still did not work.
Please advice!

Hi Jerry,
What is the type of image you are trying to insert in Crystal reports ?
Have you tried using Insert--Image? You have to select the location of the image and place it in your report.
Is the image is located in your HD or pulling from network drive ?
Please try the following :
--Open your image in MS Paint
--Save the image as .bmp in your local HD Drive
--Insert the image directly or insert as OLE object.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Sastry

How can I get Visual Studio 2010 to work with Crystal Reports?

Hi,
My office upgraded to Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 and now I can no longer write front end programs to Crystal Reports version 10. Does anybody know if there is a a workaround? Also, our version of Crystal Reports is 32 bit but the new desktop machine I have is 64 bit so there may be issues accessing the Crystal Reports DLLs which are now located in the Programs (x86) folder.
It's all such a gigantic mess that I don't even know where to begin. Visual Studio 2008 had Crystal Reports in it so it was real easy.
Dave

Try searching first before posting. CR for Visual Studio 2010 download is available on the OverView tab. It's a free install, we don't ship in VS now, it's still a plug in so you can't use VS 2010 Express version, MS doesn't support plugins in Express versions.
Runtime files will be version 13 and should update your app without issues.
Install VS 2010/2012/2013 first and then run the first link in the download page. Don't instlal just the runtime redist MSI, it will not integrate into VS.
Also, set your Project for x86 and not any CPU and use the full .NET Framework and not the client version.

Displaying image in crystal reports

I am storing the logo of my customer in the database(SQL Server 2005) in binary format.I use VS2005 for developing my application.I would like to use the logo from the database in all the crystal reports(which are already connected to concerned stored procedures) i use .
Can anyone tell me how i could accomplish that using c#.Net.
regards,
sunitha

Hi Sunitha,
Try with this code:
Add data into the dataset
ds.DataTable1.AddDataTable1Row(id, GetImageData(ofdImage.FileName), userName)
' GetImageData function
    Private Function GetImageData(ByVal fileName As String) As Byte()
        Dim fs As System.IO.FileStream = New System.IO.FileStream(fileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
        Dim br As System.IO.BinaryReader = New System.IO.BinaryReader(fs)
        Return (br.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32(br.BaseStream.Length)))
    End Function

Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

Images with Crystal Reports

Somebody pls. advise if it's possible to display images with Crystal Reports ?!
I want to generate a Price Catalog with images.   I have uploaded images into the system.
Unfortunately, Oracle Report Builder has let me down.
A short tutorial on how to achieve this will be useful as i am still trying to get acquainted with CR.
Cheers - Mave

Hi..
I saw your snap shot, in your snap shot you are selecting table fields. The option is much before selecting table fields.
Like :
a. Select Standard Report wizard
b. It ask you to connect to your datasource (ODBC / OLE DB /Native)
c.Once you connect to your database you will see below options
   - Your Database Name
      Add Command
      Tables
      Views
      Stored Procedures
Here you need to select Add Command and it will opend a window to type your sql.
Thanks,

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?

Visual Studio 2005, embedded Crystal Report problem

I am very new at .NET, and this is my first post to this forum.
I've created a Crystal Report within a project using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, on a Windows XP machine. I set the report as the ReportSource for a CrystalReportViewer on the main form. I can see data in the report in design view when I right-click on any of the fields and click "Browse Field Data". But when I preview the report, or run it in the application, all I see are the column headings and report title. I am hoping I am leaving out something obvious. I've researched this for two days without success.
The report's detail section is NOT suppressed, btw.
FYI (although I think it might not be relevant, because I don't see the data when I preview it in Visual Studio either) the report is displayed in the application when a button is clicked, as follows:
    Private Sub cmdRunLog_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRunLog.Click
            CrystalReportViewer1.DisplayToolbar = True
            cmdRunLog.Text = "Hide Run Log"
            cmdUpload.Enabled = False
            cmdReports.Enabled = False
            cmdManualRun.Enabled = False
            CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = True
            CrystalReportViewer1.Height = 600
            CrystalReportViewer1.Width = 1000
            CrystalReportViewer1.Left = 10
            Dim strReportSQL As String = "Select * From dbo.PositivePayRunLog"
            Dim DA As New SqlDataAdapter(strReportSQL, conPP)
            Dim DS As New DataSet
            'Variable to assign the report name
            Dim strReportPath As String
            DA.Fill(DS)
            strReportPath = "c:\Positive Pay\PositivePayRunLog.rpt"
            If Not IO.File.Exists(strReportPath) Then
                _ErrorText = "Unable to locate report file: " & strReportPath
                ' Throw (New Exception("Unable to locate report file:" & vbCrLf & strReportPath))
                GoTo cmdRunLog_Click_Error
            End If
            Dim rptDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            rptDocument.Load(strReportPath)
            rptDocument.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))
            rptDocument.Refresh()
            CrystalReportViewer1.ShowRefreshButton = False
            CrystalReportViewer1.ShowCloseButton = False
            CrystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = False
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDocument
end sub
I'm hoping that this is a common problem with an easy answer
Thanks,

I have done both, but I was currently using OLEDB.
I redesigned the report to use a dataset containing the correct data. Now, when I browse the fields, I see nothing. When I preview the report, I see what appears to be dummy data (a list of colors, etc).
But the GOOD news is: When I run the report in the application, I see the correct data!
Thanks! I think I'm good to go now. I will also apply the other suggestions, and try to simplify things.

Hello All,
I have problems in finding solution for the following problems in line graph in crystal reports in visual studio 2005.
1)Cant customize the colour of line in the line graph. (line by series only i wanted not by group)
2)Cant customize the width of line.
3)Cant customize the line style display.
4)Cant customize the trend line or target line.
Can you please help in resolving these problems....
Do i get any extended crystal report software for visual studio 2005 to get all features in crystal reports 10 r 11 versions?
Do you recommend 3dgraphics macros is better and economical to get extended features of crystal reports in visual studio 2005?

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.

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
ksm

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.

Crystal Report Dll problem with Visual Studio 2005

I am using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2005. At one time there were two different version of Crystal Decision Dll in Global Assembly Cache (GAC). So I uninstalled both the versions and then only installed 10.2.3600.
I am facing the following error when building my application in visual studio.
The type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\arms website\301a5b02\e03ad7d9\assembly\dl3\c30f5560\00f92427_3857ca01\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DLL'
and
'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\10.2.3600.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'
I have only installed it in .Net Framework. For some reason it appears in the temp folder. I cannot delete it and when I renamed it after the next compile it came back again.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for the tip.
I installed CR XI R2 with SP2 and 2.1
There are few reports in the system they use to run fine but now when I try to run them I get the following error:
Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Failed to open the connection. C:\DOCUME1\SSheikh\LOCALS1\Temp\ZGA370 {71BFCD35-F652-48C8-896D-B93229A4D2C2}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]
I understand that these reports run ok independently and on production machine as well; however when I try to run them from my development machine I get the above error.
I would appreciate help to resolve this. The code of the report is with report developer and I need to know what settings do I need to change where to be able to run the reports. Also I use my machine for deployment of application on the production server.

Visual Studio 2005 deploy Crystal Report to Windows Server 2008 64-bit

I've read a lot of posts here regarding deploying on a 64-bit server, but I'm still confused.
We use Visual Studio 2005 to develop on a Windows XP machine. We use the built-in version of Crystal that comes with VS2005.
We want to deploy the runtime to a Windows Server 2008 running 64-bit. We want to deploy using the msi runtime components and not the merge modules.
We end up with the message "An error has occurred while attempting to load Crystal Reports".
So, the question is, can we build & deploy a 64-bit version, and if so, what are we doing wrong here ? At first glance, I don't see VS 2005 as listing Windows 2008 as a supported platform, so am I dead in the water right there ? If that's the case .... then what are my options ?
Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated !
Thank You,
Wayne

In a nut shell, the only two 64 bit versions of Crystal Reports are 10.2 (bundles with .NET 2005) and 10.5 (bundles with .NET 2008). All other versions of Crystal Reports are 32 bit only.

XL Reporter - microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition

Hi,
When I right client a Report Definition and click Edit or Generate Report, I receive a pops up message (title Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition) that "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable disk that is not available'
I did no installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. So, I have no idea where that comes from, unless, it is supposed to be included in XL Reporter installation in order to run with Patch 36.
I am using SAP 2005A SP1 Patch 36, XL Reporter Patch 29. Anyone encounter that?

Additional info, here is prerequisites before installation of XL :
1. Your workstation has a minimum of 256 MB RAM (512 MB is recommended).
2. The processor of your workstation is a Pentium III or higher.
3. You have installed Microsoft Excel on your workstation. The following versions are supported:
Microsoft® Excel 2000 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2002 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2003 (SP 2 or higher is recommended.)
4. You have installed Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft® MDAC 2.7 or higher.
You can download both Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft MDAC 2.7 or higher from www.microsoft.com. For more information on how to check for version information, see SAP Note 903032.
Disclaimer: SAP is not responsible for the content of external websites.
Is there any relation ship between .net framework with VS 2005 ? I think when installing SQL 2005, it is included VS and .net framework.
Rgds,

ODT 11.1.0.6.20 doesn't work under Visual Studio 2005 server explorer

I tried to connect to an Oracle Server by Server Explorer of Visual Studio 2005:
1) In Server Explorer I click with right mouse button on Data Connections and choose Add Connection...
2) I click on Change...
3) I choose Oracle Database in the left list
4) I choose Oracle Data Provider for .NET under the bottom left drop down list called Data provider (I see .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle and .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB too)
5) Instead of the dialog window shown at this link [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/net11gobe/building.net/images/addconn04.gif] I see the dialog window shown at this other link [http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8212/wrongvisualstudio2005se.png]
6) If I try to insert a right connection string or simply click on OK I receive this message box: "An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem."
If I try to redo all the operations I cannot see anymore the Oracle Data Provider for .NET under the bottom left drop down list called Data provider.
My system configuration is:
- Windows XP SP2 32Bit
- Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (I installed all the packages with Instant Client too, the client works I tried with SqlPlus and Sql Navigator 6.1)
- Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
- .NET Framework 2.0.50727
I can use .NET Framework Data Provider without any problems, but I need the new ODT 11.1.0.6.20 because I can insert stored procedures into .NET dataset visual designer and call from a TableAdapter.
I hope someone can help me.
Edited by: user5476796 on 8-mar-2009 12.30

I forgot to tell you that I have Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect (Italian language) installed too and I installed ODAC for this version too.

Query Engine Error in Visual Studio 2005

Post Author: Chris K
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I created a report in Crystal 11 and have included it in a project created in Visual Studio 2005. When I try to run the report in VS I get the message: "Query Engine Error: 'Error Code: 0x' Failed to open a rowset. Error in File" I can run the report in Crystal without any errors. The report has subreports and parametes. I am using a stored procedure in SQL 2005. I have included may other reports in this project and not had any problems. Any suggestions?

Post Author: gandasi
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I had an issue that sounds very similar - report worked beautifully in Crystal, but "failed to return rowset" when run from my application (which is not VS2005, but in my case that didn't matter).
Turns out that I had not given execute rights to the stored procedure to the public group in SQL server. I guess when running the report in Crystal it was using my Windows Authentication to logon or something which was why that was running OK.
I explicitly set the permissions on the stored proc to grant public execute, and the report would run from my app.
Hope this helps
Cheers
