WPF Styles and WPF Crystal Reports viewer

Hi,
We are currently developing a WPF application which will utilize Styles created with Expression Blend.
Our environment is VS2010 SP1 and Crystal Reports for VS2010 SP2.
We want to design our reports with Crystal Reports but we don't seem to find any documentation or topics about integrating WPF Styles with the current WPF Crystal Reports Viewer.
So I was wondering if somebody here already tried to use WPF styles with the WPF CR Viewer.
If so, how does it basically work?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Alan
This morning I got a short note on the issue from Program Management. In a nut shell this is what they say:
..at this time the WPF viewer doesn't expose support for styles and the best thing will a post
to the idea on [SAP IdeaPlace|SAP Idea Place|https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports]. Based on the interest level expressed there the PM group will make a decision on how best to proceed.
Obviously, this is not going to be a swift process, but at least something...

Crystal Report Viewer integration with Sharepoint 2010

We had a requirement in our project to view crystal report off an hyper link embedded into sharepoint web part developed using ASP .NET. The report accepted few parameters from the sharepoint page and passed those on to the SQL server to retrive data and
display the data in the report. The challenge was to open the report in the web browser.
The first difficulty was to find the right control to use, the report viewer tool that comes with Visual Studio 2010 is not the right one to use to view Crystal reports, I realised this after spending half a day trying to figure out why wouldn't the report
load. I then downloaded the Crystal Report Viewer for VS 2010 Standard from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp. After you install this, you get the crystal report viewer in your toolbar. All you have to do is drag and drop it on
to the web part and configure it to use your report. If any one needs help with this let me know I will show how to do that.
So far so good. The biggest challenge was to deploy this on to the production server which took better part of 3 days to figure out how its done. If you deploy the WSP file as it is expecting that the crystal DLLs would be embedded in it then be ready to
expect a rude shock because it isn't. Here are the steps -
1. Deploy the WSP to the sharepoint server
2. Install the crystal dlls used in the project (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll, CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll, CrystalDecisions.Web.dll) into the GAC using GacUtil command
3. Add following entries to Web.Config file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.congif)
    <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False"
/>
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Shared" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
      <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
4. Install crystal redistributable package which can be downloaded from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp (
SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit))
5. Copy aspnet_client folder from C:\>inetpub\wwwroot and overwrite it on C:\>inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
And we are done. Fingers crossed it should all work.

Hi Mahesh,
How are you loading the report in your webpart? This is what I have done. I have tried to explain what I am doing in the program comments. Hope this helps. Good luck.
                SPSite mySite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url.ToString());
                SPWeb thisSite = mySite.OpenWeb();
                // Writing to event log after every step in debug mode so that you get to know if there was a failure what step the failure occured after.
                EventLog.WriteEntry("Reports", "Inside PAge Load ", EventLogEntryType.Error);
                SPFolder folder = thisSite.GetFolder("Reports");

Can't Print Landscape from Crystal Reports Viewer XI

Post Author: conrad
CA Forum: General
Product: Crystal Reports Viewer XI, version 12.0.0.r130_v20070725 and
Crystal Reports XI, version 11.0.0.1282
Patches Applied: none
Operating System(s): XP Pro SP2
Database(s):
Error Messages: noneSteps to Reproduce:
Download and install Crystal Reports Viewer XI
Open a Crystal Report that prints landscape.
Save report with data.
Open that report with Crystal Reports Viewer XI. Report will display landscape.
Click Print..OK
Viewer will attempt to scale output to fit on portrait paper, with varying degrees of success.
Checking the properties of the report from Viewer (File...Report Properties...) shows a "Page Orientation" of "Landscape" and a message "Page Orientation and size defined by the application (no page information set by report author)."
Any ideas on how to get the report to print landscape? It prints that way from Crystal Reports XI.

Hello Glenda,
as you refer to the legacy technology I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

JRC (Crystal Report Viewer 11.**.**) Requires any license

Dear All,
We am using Crystal report 10 and JRC (Crystal Report Viewer 11.*.*) . we have license for crystal report 10 but no license for JRC 11. I downloaded JRC JARS from internet, so do we require License for JRC to use in the Production Enviornment.. If so can i get license for JRC 11 alone.
What about Crystal report for Eclipse2.0 (CR4E2.0). Does this also requires license to use in the production enviornment.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

You will need to have a look at the [Crystal Reports Developer Advantage License|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/developeradvantage/index.epx].
I think that will answer most of your questions.

Now, I want to add Crystal Report Viewer on my WPF Page. how can I do this ?
I tried to find that control to add in toolbox but I didn't find it.
Please can someone help me int this that how can I add that control and call the report to view in that and change the sql server dynamically for that crystal report.

Multiple instances of Crystal Reports Viewer possible in WPF?

Hi, I've dragged and dropped three Crystal Reports Viewer controls on my WPF application. The goal is to be able to select up to 3 reports from a listbox and click run to generate the reports simultaneously. When I select just one report, it works fine. However when I select multiple reports it throws errors (object not found, etc). It seems there is a problem with multiple threads. Is it possible to have multiple instances of the Crystal Report Viewer display reports simultaneously? I am using version 13.0.9.1312 from the link below along with VS2013 C# WPF.

Thanks,

I was able to quickly cobble together a two viewer app that looks like this:
The code is like this:
Public Sub New()
        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
        Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument.Load("C:\tests\formulas.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer1.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument
        Dim crReportDocument2 As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        crReportDocument2.Load("C:\tests\report1.rpt")
        CrystalReportsViewer2.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument2
    End Sub
For more details see the document WPF Project Using the Crystal Reports WPF Viewer in 8 Easy Steps
Now a couple of things to keep in mind;
1) The report engine is based on 3 Concurrent Processor License (CPL) model. Meaning you can process at most three reports at the same time. In my test, doing the above code for four reports worked, but the reports are very, very simple - and with saved data. What a "real" world reports will do, I am not sure. I do know that in a web app, the reports are queued up until one report is done and thus a CPL is freed up. You will also need to keep in mind any database connection limits, etc.
2) There is also a Print Job limit. This by default is set to 75. In a nutshell, almost anything done with a report is a Print Job. E.g.; paging, zooming, drilling, searching, etc., etc. In addition subreports are considered to be Print Jobs. Thus a report with one subreport in a detail section that returns a thousand rows of data and therefore running 1000 subreports will error out.
You can read more about Print Job limits here:

Crystal Report Viewer and border problems

Post Author: catalinandrei00
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello there, I've created an report and I've added borders for the fields in the report (Right click on the field > Format Object -> Border -> Choose for the 4 margins the line-style single). The report is correctly exported to different formats (.doc, .pdf, .xls). My problem is that when I display the report in an ASP.NET 2.0 page using an Crystal Report Viewer the report is correctly shown but the borders don't appear.My question is why the borders don't appear in the Crystal Report Viewer? Thanks for helping for solving this issue. It's very important.Catalin

Hello catalinandrei00
I have the exact opposite problem as yours.
I am using integrated crystal reports with Visual Studio 2005 and I have put a Crystal Viewer on a web page.
First I also had the same problem like yours and then in one of the post i found a solution for this. Hope it will work for you too. here it is :-
Just remove the following line from your aspx page.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Now regarding my problem. My problems is that now i can view the borders and everything correctly in the viewer but when i try to print the report it automatically exports to Adobe first and BAM!!! the format disappears. Though if i export to word Doc format it export perfectly fine with all the borders and everything
I hope some other reader will come to my rescue...pls HELP.

Error in Preview and Print in Crystal Report Viewer 2.0.0.7 in Workstation

Hi Guys,
I am encountering a problem when clicking preview and print in Crystal Report Viewer 2.0.0.7. It returns an error
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. Load report failed.
I already install the runtime crruntime_120_mlb, . net framework 3.5 sp1 and the add-on itself. The viewer is working properly in SAP Server. My version of SAP is SBO 2007 A SP00 PL10.

Crystal report viewer does not observe the PaperSize and PageOrientation setting

Hi:
My application is a 3 tier application, where the WinForm client is connected to the WCF Services hosted in IIS server.
The report is generated on server side using WCF service, and export as.rpt with data, the .rpt file is then sent to the WinForm client, the Crystal Report viewer is used to load the .rpt file for preview and print.
On server side I've Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed and set as default printer. On the client side if the default printer is XPS or Nitro PDF creator, the report can be view and print correctly, report design in landscape will be able to show in the landscape in CR viewer, report design using custom paper size (e.g. Half Letter), CR viewer able to show it in Half Letter.
The problem that I'm facing is when the default printer is set to HP LaserJet P1120 or others (I've tried Epson ESC/P Standard driver), the report is always shown in the portrait, and it will not be able to show in custom paper size either. Here is my code:
     Dim settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
     Dim rep as New ReportDocument
     rep.Load(sOutputFileName)     'The report is download from server and save in sOutputFileName
     SetReportPaperSize(rep, sPaperSizeName, False, settings) ' sPaperSizeName store the name of the custom paper used in the report
     CrViewer.ReportSource = rep
   Public Shared Sub SetReportPaperSize(rep As ReportDocument, paperSizeName As String, isHardCopy As Boolean, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      Dim installedPrinters As Printing.PrinterSettings.StringCollection = Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
      Dim printers As New List(Of String)
      Dim sPrinter As String
      If installedPrinters.Count = 0 Then
         Return
      End If
      SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(rep.PrintOptions, paperSizeName, settings)
      With rep.PrintOptions
         .PrinterName = settings.PrinterName
         .PaperSource = PaperSource.Auto
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length > 0 Then
            .PaperSize = DirectCast(GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName, settings, rep.PrintOptions.PaperSize), CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
         End If
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Sub SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(printOptions As PrintOptions, paperSizeName As String, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      With settings.DefaultPageSettings
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length = 0 Then
            . PaperSize = GetPaperSize (printOptions.PaperSize, settings)
         Else
            For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
               If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
                  .PaperSize = size
                  Exit For
               End If
            Next
         End If
         .Landscape = printOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
         .Margins.Top = printOptions.PageMargins.topMargin
         .Margins.Left = printOptions.PageMargins.leftMargin
         .Margins.Bottom = printOptions.PageMargins.bottomMargin
         .Margins.Right = printOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Function GetPaperSize(paperSizeId As Integer, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings) As Printing.PaperSize
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Printing.PaperSize
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      ' Default paper Size defined in the printer
      result = settings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize
      For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
         If size.RawKind = paperSizeId Then
            result = size
            Exit For
         End If
      Next
      Return result
   End Function
   Public Shared Function GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName As String, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings Optional defaultpaperSizeId As CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize) As Integer
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Integer = defaultpaperSizeId
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(paperSizeName) Then
         For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
            ' Height and Width in Printing.PaperSize is measure in hundredths of an inch
            If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
               result = size.RawKind
               Exit For
            End If
         Next
      End If
      Return result
   End Function
Setting the PrintOptions.PaperSize and PageOrientation seem like no effect on the viewer. My code to load the report to CR viewer is much more complicated than the code I show above, I've a background worker thread to download the report, and when the worker thread finished download the report from the server, it will assign the report to CRViewer. Do the changes in report PrintOption before assign to CRViewe and after assigning to CRViewer make any different?
I'm using VS2010, CR XI R2 (Version 11.5.3700.0). Please Help. Thanks
Regards
JC Voon

Hi JC,
CRXI R2 is a no go with VS 2010, these two are not compatible.
With CR 11.5 use VS 2005.
Or Use VS 2010 and CR for VS 2010 (13.0)
Once you have the supported / compatible conbination of CR and VS, use the In Proc RAS .NET code from below KBA.

Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 and parameter fields

Hello,
I saw this product on the main Crystal Reports site this afternoon and decided to download it to try it out. I have a number of users who would benefit from being able to preview their report results prior to actually running the report. This seems like the perfect product. I have a large number of Crystal Reports which were created in Crystal version XI. I also downloaded the free 30 day version of Crystal Reports 2008 yesterday to see what new features are there.
While testing Crystal Reports Viewer, I tried to run one of my reports which needs a parameter to run properly (account number). This type of parameter is needed for probably 98% of this business' reports.
The problem: Crystal Reports Viewer does not prompt me to input the parameter. In my actual Crystal Report, I had the box "Save Data with Report' left unchecked, as the account number frequently changes. However, if that box is left unchecked, Crystal Reports Viewer will give me the error message "No Saved Data. This report file does not contain saved data and cannot be viewed. To get data into the report, please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected."
Thinking that possibly it was the version of Crystal Reports in which the report was created (XI), I downloaded the free trial of Crystal 2008 and created a very simple test report with one parameter for account number where the account number is retrieved from our database. And I am having the same trouble.
The "Help" section of Crystal Reports Viewer tells me that I can select my parameters in the parameter panel. I do not see anything in my parameter panel other than the words "Current Data Set Last refreshed: 04/12/10 2:58 PM". The help tells me that I can "select the parameter directly in this panel by entering a new value", but there is no option to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Noel

What I've learned is that I was originally using Crystal Viewer XI and upon opening it I received a message indicating there was an update.
I ran the update which put me on Crystal Viewer 2008.
Since then I have not been able to refresh my screen to bring up the parameters.
See the attached forum for another post concerning this same issue.
Paramter Prompts in Crystal Viewer

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.
When I click on the Crystal Report viewer Internet Explorer Exception occurs
The following add-on was running when this problem occurred:

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you
Don

Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

Hi.
I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
brgds Torunn

Hi Torunn
An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
The above would be predicated on the assumption that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

Problem with Crystal Report Viewer and Dual Monitors

Post Author: jtgoff
CA Forum: .NET
Hey Guys,
I'm running into another problem with the Crystal Report Viewer. Here's a little info before I get started, I'm developing a Windows App using WinForms in VS2005 and Crystal 11 Release 2. I'm referencing all the latest Crystal dlls from Service Pack 2 of Crystal 11 Release 2. The problem occurs when I drag my Windows Form that contains a Crystal Report Viewer onto my second monitor and try to scroll or resize it, when I try this the Report Document within the Viewer becomes glitchy, blocky, and un-readable. I drag it back onto my main monitor and perform the same actions and the Report appears perfectly fine. I notice this occurs after a number of Report Previews through my App. Initially when I start my App, I can drag the reports onto my second monitor and resize it and scroll through it no problem. However, after a number of Previews, I notice the problem occurs on my second monitor. This is a very strange bug that doesn't produce an error and appears to happen randomly. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem, if so... Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can update the parameters using Crystal Viewer 2008. I had the same problem with the "CHANGE" button being grayed out.
Go to your Report -> Select Expert -> and now you have three choices: Record, Group, Saved Data. Put your select statement using your parameters in the Saved Data only (remove it from Record if already there).
It works awesome and even works on dynamic parameters!

Crystal report viewer version 10.5.3700 and French

Hi I'm currently using Crystal reports in Visual Studio 2008 and would like to display the Crystal Report viewer in French. In particular the various report items shown in the report such as "Zoom Factor", etc I'd like determine if there's a way to show this information in French. We're currently using version 10.5.3700 of this control.

Note that with CR 10.5.x you must use the CR assemblies for .NET. You can not use the Report Designer Component (RDC). Just saying as you posted the issue into Legacy SDKs and I moved it here.
Re. localization issues see [CR 10.2 Working with Default and Custom Language Resource Files (localization)|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227600(VS.80).aspx]
Above applies to CR 10.5 also.
And don't forget to search the forums and \ or use the search box at the top right of this web page.
