I am obviously not including the right files when creating my installation program.

I do have InstallShield Express 2014 but am not familiar with using merge modules.

I really could use a hand stepping me through the process. I am willing to purchase per instance support if necessary.

It all started last week. I am writing a Windows application with VS 2012. This application has several reports. There is a particular report that has a parameter that I use as the header. In the Form Load event handler of the form that displays the report, I set the parameter with the line rpt.SetParameterValue(0, strHeader), where rpt is the instance of the report, and strHeader holds whatever I want the header to be.

This was working great. Last week I tweaked the report to and a line feed after the text in a field in the dataset. This had nothing to do with the header. After making this change, when I open the form with the report on it, I am prompted to enter the value for the parameter. I can find no reason for this. I put the line that opens the form with the report on it elsewhere in the application, and was not prompted for the parameter value. This is not an acceptable fix, though. I deleted the contents of the bin folder in the project’s folder, but got the same behavior.

I tried writing a simple application to explore different ways of setting the header. I thought I could put the text that I want as the header in a table, then use that in the header in the report. Here is the code:

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

Imports CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim con As New SqlCeConnection

        Dim t As New TestBirdDBDataSetTableAdapters.tblReportHeaderTableAdapter

        Dim rpt As New CrystalReport1

        Dim ds As New TestBirdDBDataSet

con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=|DataDirectory|\TestBirdDB.sdf"

        con.Open()

        t.Connection = con

t.Fill(ds.tblReportHeader)

        con.Close()

rpt.SetDataSource(ds)

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt

    End Sub

End Class

I get the following error when rpt.SetDataSource(ds) executes:

I have added all of the Crystal Reports references to the project.

I was using CR 13.08, upgraded to CR 13.0.10. No difference.

Could someone help me figure out 1) Why am I getting prompted for the parameter when it is being set in code, and 2) Why am I getting the error message in my simple test program?

Thank you

I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:

Translated:

Failed to createthe form.SeeException.InnerExceptionfor details. Error:An exception occurredin thetype initializer for'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.

Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer

It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Hi, Ludek,

I hope it's okay, but I thought it would be better to start a new post about the parameter issue.

To recap, the issue is:

I am writing a Windows application with VS 2012. This application has several reports. There is a particular report that has a parameter that I use as the header. In the Form Load event handler of the form that displays the report, I set the parameter with the line rpt.SetParameterValue(0, strHeader), where rpt is the instance of the report, and strHeader holds whatever I want the header to be.

This was working great. Last week I tweaked the report to and a line feed after the text in a field in the dataset. This had nothing to do with the header. After making this change, when I open the form with the report on it, I am prompted to enter the value for the parameter. I can find no reason for this. I put the line that opens the form with the report on it elsewhere in the application, and was not prompted for the parameter value. This is not an acceptable fix, though. I deleted the contents of the bin folder in the project’s folder, but got the same behavior.

The code I posted was the code that generated the .dll error, not the code working with parameters.

This is the code working with parameters:

    Private Sub frmPrintAppointments_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim rpt As New rptAppointments

        Dim strHeader as String

        ' I populate the dataset, ds

        strHeader = "All appointments"

        rpt.Load()

       rpt.SetParameterValue(0, strHeader)

       rpt.SetDataSource(ds)

       CrystalReportViewer1.Dock = Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill

       CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt

       CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = True

    End Sub

You said:

Invariably, when you pass a value to the report, and the report prompts anyhow, either the type of the value is incorrect, or the parameter is assigned our of scope, so the engine has no idea it was assigned. Stepping through the code may help determine what is actually happening.

The parameter is of string type. How do you specify the scope of a parameter?

Thanks,

Ralph

Hi All,

     Can anyone help me with the SDK code to display a crystal report with huge volume of data in crystal report viewer. The crystal report viewer should launch first and load data page by page instead of loading the report completely and then launching the crystal report viewer.

Currently when I select the necessary parameters and run the report in portal it says "loading" for some time and then launches the crystal report viewer. Is it feasible to open the crystal report viewer immediately after I select the parameter and Click continue, and then load the report page by page.  Any help is really appreciated as I am stuck in this issue for a long time.

Please let me know if i am not clear.

Thansk in Advance!

Regards,

Mirthu

Our software has a screen embedded within it where the customer can run their Crystal reports, this used the ActiveX/COM report viewer which worked well enough and the customer was happy.

Because the ActiveX/COM report viewer is now obsolete we built a screen using the new .Net viewer.

Unfortunately the customer is now very unhappy because the .Net viewer is not displaying the selection criteria very well.

For example:

They have a report of sales for a branch, when they run the report the choose the branch to report on.
In the old screen using the ActiveX/COM viewer the report displayed a list of branches and they picked one from the list - see below:

In the new screen using the .Net Viewer they don't get a list, they have to type in the branch number - see below:

I've spent two hours searching the SAP site for answers and found nothing - I expect the answer is in there somewhere but I can't find it.

Has any experience this?

I don't know if this a deficiency in the .Net viewer or something I haven't done.

Any help gratefully received!

when i click on print report it pops up export to pdf. i just want to print directly

I have a report with the option "Format with Multiple Columns" checked. In the "Layout" tab I've manually set the width of the column, but the actual width of the column will only be determined at runtime.

Remarks: in my report I need always 3 columns, but I want a customizable width. "Can grow" option on a field not work, because the second column overlap the first one.

How can I change the width of the column at runtime? It's possible?
There is another way to create a report with a runtime-determined number of columns/width?

[Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 on Visual Studio 2010 Professional.]

With ASP.NET vNext slated for release in early 2015, it brings with it some nice enchantments and deprecation of  features. One of the deprecated items is the WebForms runtime or rather the System.Web assembly. Since the current Report viewer for requires a WebForms runtime, I was wondering if there will be a feature-complete Report Viewer specifically for the OWIN/ASP.NET vNext pipeline?

I am working on an ASP.Net website to display a Crystal Report in a CrystalReportViewer on a ASP.Net page.

I am using Visual Studio 2013 and Crystal Reports 2011 for Sage.

I have Crystal Reports for Visual Studio version 13.0.2000.0 installed.

Trying run the Website on a Win 7 Pro in the local IIS.

On the Test1.aspx page, there are 2 DropDownList boxes for the user to filter the data for the report.  When the user clicks on Run Report button, it does the following:

1. Connect to the Oracle database.

2. Run a query using a SELECT statement based on what the user selected in the DropDownList boxes.

3. Fill a dataset with the results of the query.

4. Set the CrystalReportViewer to the dataset.

CrystalReportViewer is not even shown on the web page.

I know the dataset is getting data because I can display it in a label.

What do I need to do to get this to work?

I am processing a crystal report on RAS server,and exporting it to PDF, using the RAS Dlls.

Dim Report As ReportClientDocument
Dim crExportData As New ByteArray
Dim crExportType As CrReportExportFormatEnum

crExportType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF
crExportData = Report.PrintOutputController.Export(crExportType)

A gray background is applied to an object in crystal report, with RGB color code (216,216,216).

On exporting this report to pdf, the color appears as required.

However, when printing this PDF in a digital printer (uses CMYK color format), the color changes to Pinkish Gray.

The color remains gray as required, in other printers.

Is there any way to make the exported PDF CMYK compliant?

Please help.

Hi all

Recently I took over an old project which was developed on VS 2005 using Crystal Report XI (separate purchase) 7 years ago. I have imported the project into VS 2010 and replace the CR 11.5 with CR 13 (that came with VS 2010).

I realised some of the reports had the option 'Verify on Every Print' checked and in the code, the subroutine VerifyDatabase() was called prior to each print.

Question 1.

Can I remove this option 'Verify on Every Print'? With this checked, the report will take triple the time to print.

Question 2.

What is the use of this option? I googled for a week and unable to find a good explanation to use and not to use.

Question 3.

Can CR 13 (embedded) run on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 after upgrading the project file from VS 2005 to VS 2010?

Question 4.

If I were to upgrade to VS 2013, will there be any vast speed improvement?

Any of your input is appreciated.

Please assist me.

Hello,

I know there are a million threads on this topic, but that's the problem...it's impossible to find an answer.  So apologies in advance if it's out there already.

I have a generic report viewer page/control in my application where I load a variety of reports; I do not know what the parameters are in advance.  In ALL cases, I do NOT want to be prompted for parameters when the report is first loaded.  I want the report to use either empty values or any specific values I pass in via code when the report is first loaded and executed in the Viewer.

In one example, the report has one string parameter and 2 numeric parameters.  If I set the string parameter to "", then handle that in my record selection criteria, that is an OK workaround.  But for the numeric parameters, I want to set them to null or nothing and then not be prompted.  This is where I'm having difficulty: If I do nothing, I get prompted. If I set them to Null/Nothing, I'll get an error message when the report loads that there is a data type mismatch.  ALL of the parameters are set to OptionalPrompt=True.  Also, if I set EnableParameterPrompt="False", I receive an error that parameters are missing even though all parameters are Optional.  So the main issue is to be able to set numeric (and date) prompt values to something in code that will then stop them from being prompted in the Report Viewer when the report loads.

Thanks in advance for a solution or a pointer to another thread with the solution.

We have started receiving load report failed error again in one of our production servers. This problem occurred some months ago and on that time we found that in the code reportdocument.close method was not called so we added into the code and set the print job limit to 400 and problem went away for couple of months but now it has started again.

Load report failed.

Can any one tell if we are doing anything wrong in our code. We don't use sub reports any more however we do use paging and some of our reports have 200+ pages. Also is it possible to find out print job limit and concurrent users by writing some code.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I developed an asp.net web application / c # - VS2012 - crystal Repport (CRforVS_13_0_5) on windows 7 pro 32 bits, everything is ok even print reports.

The problem is that when hosting the web application in IIS on the same machine (Windows 7 pro 32 bit) printing the report (crystal report) does not work;

my code behind:

ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument;
  string path = "../rpt/demande.rpt";
  cryRpt.Load(Server.MapPath(@path));
  ParameterFieldDefinitions crParameterFieldDefinitions;
  ParameterFieldDefinition crParameterFieldDefinition;
  ParameterValues crParameterValues = new ParameterValues();
  ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
  crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = "value";
  crParameterFieldDefinitions = cryRpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
  crParameterFieldDefinition = crParameterFieldDefinitions["val"];
  crParameterValues = crParameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues;
  crParameterValues.Clear();
  crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue);
  crParameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues);
  cryRpt.SetDatabaseLogon(user, pw);
  CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = true;
  CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;
  cryRpt.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);

how to print the report on the client side?

Hi, Ludek,

I hope it's okay, but I thought it would be better to start a new post about the parameter issue.

To recap, the issue is:

I am writing a Windows application with VS 2012. This application has several reports. There is a particular report that has a parameter that I use as the header. In the Form Load event handler of the form that displays the report, I set the parameter with the line rpt.SetParameterValue(0, strHeader), where rpt is the instance of the report, and strHeader holds whatever I want the header to be.

This was working great. Last week I tweaked the report to and a line feed after the text in a field in the dataset. This had nothing to do with the header. After making this change, when I open the form with the report on it, I am prompted to enter the value for the parameter. I can find no reason for this. I put the line that opens the form with the report on it elsewhere in the application, and was not prompted for the parameter value. This is not an acceptable fix, though. I deleted the contents of the bin folder in the project’s folder, but got the same behavior.

The code I posted was the code that generated the .dll error, not the code working with parameters.

This is the code working with parameters:

    Private Sub frmPrintAppointments_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim rpt As New rptAppointments

        Dim strHeader as String

        ' I populate the dataset, ds

        strHeader = "All appointments"

        rpt.Load()

       rpt.SetParameterValue(0, strHeader)

       rpt.SetDataSource(ds)

You said:

Invariably, when you pass a value to the report, and the report prompts anyhow, either the type of the value is incorrect, or the parameter is assigned our of scope, so the engine has no idea it was assigned. Stepping through the code may help determine what is actually happening.

The parameter is of string type. How do you specify the scope of a parameter?

Thanks,

Hi,

We have upgraded from vs2008 to vs2013 one of our .net C# projects. Project consist of a Server and a windows client. Reports are run in the client, and data transported with disconnected Datasets ( No direct connection to the database ). We use Microsoft clickonce to deploy this application to our users.

The problem we have is that after the migration clients deployed with clickonce experience a delay of about 1 minute while the report is shown with a message "please wait while the document is processing". However if we run the application directly from the filesystem the report is shown immediately.

running the clickonce deployed shows the following message using process monitor, however after ~1 minute the report displays correctly.

Code:

        CrystalReport1 c = new CrystalReport1();

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            c.Load();

        }

        Stopwatch s = new Stopwatch();

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {          

            if (c.IsLoaded)

            {

                crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = c.FileName.Replace("rassdk://", ""); ;

                Console.WriteLine("crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = c;:" + s.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds.ToString());

            }

        }

* Note:

1. the report from the code above is empty and has no connections to database.

2. Using Vs2013

3. Using SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Service Pack 9 - Fixed Issues and updates - Busines…

I am not sure where to log this & have had no luck on Crystal Reports forum, so am trying here as well!

I have designed a Crystal report and have set the printer as the Zebra, and the font as the printer font. While the font display oddly in the designer preview, it prints fine to the Zebra printer.

When importing the report into SAP Business One and running from the viewer, the codes' numeric value displays on screen and that is what prints from the printer. Have tried this on the same machine where the designer is installed and from a different machine.

The barcodes display from other applications on the same machines, so the fonts must be available.

I am using CR2008, which is the latest which is compatible with the customers SAP install.

A truetype font I have installed does not print at all

Any way to resolve this?

     Please help me to build report. i already make but the data was not show.

Hello,

recently, because of needs of our project, we have started using RAS SDK in our application. We are developing in Visual Studio 2010, and have downloaded CR for VS 2010.

However it seems that we can not get expected behavior of, I believe dll in question is  CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc, when we target the 4.0 framework in project.

If we change the target platform to 2.0 - 3.5 everything works as expected ( we can search sections, add new...) but in 4.0 exceptions are thrown since

CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument has different information in it.

Can you tell me what is the issue? And how to proceed with developing RAS SDK in 4.0 environment?

Any help highly appreciated!
