Hi,
We have a WPF application written in C# using Visual Studio Professional 2013. We've also got several dozen Crystal Reports which I just converted from version 8.5 to 14 using SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Version 14.1.1.1036.
After installing Crystal Reports v14, I attempted to follow this guide:
WPF Project Using the Crystal Reports WPF Viewer in 8 Easy Steps
... and it appeared that I did not have the necessary components, controls, etc. installed. So, I went here:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
... and I downloaded the 32-bit, 64-bit, and the click once, all for (v.13.0.12.1494)
My questions (I think) are:
Do we need to get a different Crystal Reports license? IOW, should we purchase the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio? Our only need is to launch the reports from the executable application - which I presume is accomplished through the WPF viewer.
ULTIMATELY => if I run all of the 32-bit, 64-bit and click once installers and the components don't appear in Visual Studio, what are the next steps? Is there a way to diagnose what's missing?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Aleks
