I have VS 2012 and I am trying to get the CR Developer added so I can use it within VS 2012. I have downloaded and installed several times. When I open VS, I cannot find any of the tools or options. What am I doing wrong. I called the support line and they were unable to help me and was told they have never experienced that before.
Help me Obi-Wan...
Greetings everyone,
I have some issues with some Crystal Reports that I'm trying to put into a Web Portal I'm working on. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but since I'm working in VS2010 I figured I'd start here.
I have several reports that run a FoxPro exe to create a custom table first before the actual report is run. We use CR 10 and CR 2008, and the reports in question use an xBase data connector. The reason for the xBase is the fact that it allows us to have multiple instances of the report run without the table being locked, which is the case if we use ODBC. Unfortunately when I use the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS, which has the CR 2008 runtime, I get a databse connection error with the xBase data connector.. If I switch to ODBC then the report runs fine, but if I run a second instance of the report I get a "file locked" error when the exe runs and tries to update the table.
I'm not sure what to do now. I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything helpful. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm also more than willing to post any code that I'm using that may be needed.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers,
Chris
I figured that writing a selection formula would be pretty easy but I just can't seem to get the proper syntax.
I am Using VB.net VS2012 & CR for .Net
I am building a selection formula in code to ultimately pass to the report for filtering data.
The user will get to choose filtering data from a series of comboboxes and based on those selections I'll build the formula. So attempting to pass just one criteria doesn't work.
Here is what I'm doing (showing relevant code)
In the first combobox the user selects a SKU to filter on in cmbxSKU
dim cboSKU as string = cmbxSKU.Text <== the value of the combobox is 1234
dim myFormula = "{INVEN.SKU} = "" & cboSKU & """ <= Got this syntax directly from the SAP CR Walkthrough & is the same in the SDK Developer guide
I pass myFormula to the frmReport
in the frmReport Load Event I set the characteristic of the viewer including
CrystalReportsViewer1.SelectionFormula = myFormula
However at this point myFormula evaluates to Literally {INVEN.SKU} = " & cboSKU & " as reported by the text visualizer in Intellisense.
When the report runs there are not records showing. (FYI there are plenty records with SKU 1234)
When I force the value of 1234 into the selection formula it works as expected & returns records to report on. that formula looks like this
myFormula = "{INVEN.SKU} = ""1234"""
I have attempted to use the VB syntax of
myFormula = "{INVEN.SKU} = "" ' " & cboSKU & " ' """
and this evaluates to
{INV.SKU} = " '1234' " <=== But this doesn't work
I've replaced the & with the + but no luck
I've reduced the Number of " (Quotes), but no luck.
So now I'm Stuck, What can i do to pass a good & proper selection formula?
Another FYI, I have no selection formula as a part of the base report.
Thanks

I am using the CR .NET RAS API to work with chart objects in a report.
If the chart is in the Report Footer area I can successfully change its type and other properties with code like this:
ChartObject newChartObject = (ChartObject)chartObject.Clone();
newChartObject.ChartStyle.Type = (CrChartStyleTypeEnum)value;
reportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(chartObject, newChartObject);
However, if the chart is in a Group Footer area I get an exception when I call Modify:
COMException: The summary data field of group chart does not exist.
In fact the summary field that the chart is based on is present as a field object in that same section.
Any insights?

I am using The Replace Connection code from this document (
http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio/blog/2011/09/02/when-to-use-the-replace-connection-method-using-the-crystal-reports-or-inproc-ras-sdk-for-net ), but I have found it does not change the Provider for a subreport. And, if I try to use this same code for a subreport, the following exception is generated when I try to use the ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation forthe subreport:
"Not supported within subreports."
I can use the DataSourceConnections(0).SetConnection which updates ther server, database, user id, password, but I need to update the provider so it is the same as the main report.
How do you do this?
In Crystal Reports for VS’s designer I couldn’t successfully
use “.Net Object” under “Project Data” for any new reports. I found I had to create a DataSet object manually
that mimics my classes public properties and then load that using “ADO.NET DataSets”
option. Then through code I was able to
use my classes GetData method to populate the report at run-rime like normal. In the past I was able to use “.Net Object” to
get the classes public properties to use at design time.
I didn’t like creating a DataSet to mimic my code for two
reasons. One if I had to change my class
I had to also update DataSet to refresh the definition in my report. Two it just felt like I was coding twice. Because of this I dug deeper. I then created a method in my class to return
my List as a DataSet. This was easy
enough after finding a generic List to DataSet conversion class to use. Then through using “Create New Connection”s “ADO.NET
(XML)”, I was able to use “Make New Connection” to link to my compiled assembly
(the dll in bin), choose the class and set the “Use DataSet from Class” option
and choose my method which returns a DataSet.
Everything was fine with this solution except, when I went to compile my
project. The dll was locked and compilation
failed when trying to copy the dll. It
seems the designer didn’t release the dll when it read the DataSet. I found if I closed VS and restarted,
everything was working fine.
So I have one question, is “.Net Object” not supported anymore? I have a few reports that were created using
this from years ago, and they run fine and I can change them in the designer. But when I tried to “Verify Database”, it threw up a message stating the table couldn’t be found and asked if I
wanted to remove it. When I said yes it removed
the table and all the fields, which in affect erased the report.
I using VS 2010. but when i add a crystal report to my WPF Application, i get a page with message
Then i am trying to download and install this SAP Crystal Report version on my PC. But this error appear: |
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Hi,
In one of the site crystal reports server 2008 is installed. ASP.Net web forms are used for launching the reports. In the web server w3wp crashes frequently. When we verified the event viewer we got the following information during the crash

Can any one help me to over come this issue ?
Is there any fix available for this issue ?
Thanks.
I am trying to design a report (using Crystal Reports for VS2008) for a receipt to be printed on a thermal printer with continuous paper (CITIZEN CT-S651). Now a receipt will need to have variable height according to the number of items it contains.
The problem is that Crystal Reports takes the page setup from those available in the print setup and all these paper sizes have a fixed length (e.g. Receipt length 80x3276mm 48c). Thus every receipt is being printing using the full length 3276mm (irrespective of number of items) resulting in a lot of wasted paper.
The printer driver has a setting "paper type" set to "Receipt" intentionally meant to avoid this problem (Receipt allows flexible paper length according to the data length to avoid waste of paper), however, even with this setting the problem persists.
I would really appreciate any help I can get on this problem.
Hi,
I'm using crystal report 8.5 and developed the report and invoked with API. In windows7 print icon is not enabled while previewing the report. Only one machine it is enabled and all other machine it is disabled. But same report is working fine in Windows XP. Please help
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommonObjectModel Version 13.0.2000.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first. Please Contact your System Administrator.
I seems that I need to install some merge modules, Where are located? What are their names? and How?
I have seen this answer responded for other older versions of visual studio.
I found I needed to know the current page number on postback so I can restore the report to that page on a refresh. To get the page number, I added a handler to the CR Viewer’s Navigate event on the code behind to store the current page number (see code below). The issue I found is that the body.onunload event is now getting triggered. This is an issue because I keep the ReportDocument in session and remove it through in a web method call from the body.onunload. So now after adding the handler, my program unloads the document and has to reload it including pulling the data again from the db every time I press a navigate button. If I don’t have the handler on the page, the body.onunload doesn’t get triggered when I press the navigate buttons.
Protected Sub CRVs_Navigate(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As CrystalDecisions.Web.NavigateEventArgs) Handles CRV.Navigate
Session(“ReportViewer_PageNumber”) = e.NewPageNumber
End Sub
Is there another way to get the page number without using this event?
Hi
We are upgrading our apps from CR 8.5 to CR for VS 2010. We have a couple of ancient UFLs written in C++ that are currently being installed in c:\windows\crystal. Much to my surprise, CR for VS 2010 finds them there and is able to use them.
We're modifying our install to accommodate the new version of CR and we're considering putting the UFLs somewhere other than c:\windows\crystal to avoid security issues.
In another thread it was suggested that a UFL be put in C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86 which is where CR for VS 2010 appears to put them.
Are there just the two locations that CR looks for a UFL - <windows>\crystal and C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86? Are there any others?
For the setup program, what's a reliable way to determine the actual location of the standard CR UFL directory? (For example, on a 32-bit PC it will be under c:\Program Files)
Thanks

Hi guys
I've created a simple database application in Visual Studio 2010 that updates a Crystal Report. Everything runs fine before deployment;
(when I update the Access database located in the Bin\Debug folder, the changes are reflected on the report which is also connected to the file at that location).
However, when I deploy the report (with the database added to the installation files), I can still update the database as normal, but the changes aren't reflected on the Crystal Report.
Can anyone help?
