We are getting a missing parameter exception when calling the PrintToPrinter method without setting the values for each parameter that is defined in the report. We were expect crystal to prompt for the parameters if there were not set. It used to do that in an older version of the activeX runtime and not the .Net runtime. We have not been able to figure out how to make crystal prompt for parameters. We are currently using version 13.0.2000.0 in Visual Studio 2015.
Please help?
Thanks,
Eric
Sorry if this has already been answered. I checked other threads and I didn't really see a definitive answer to the problem.
When running my application and attempting to view a report I am receiving the error "the report filename was empty". I am using VS 2010 SP1 with SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio version 13.0.15.1840. My Crystal Reports used to be an older version (13.0.2000.000), recently upgraded it.
The reports have always worked but at some point something changed and now I'm getting this error both on my local machine and my development server. Not sure if this happened when i updated the CR for VS or not.
When I run the application it always breaks at the .load() method.
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
String rootPath = Server.MapPath("~");
if (Session[FCCConstants.SESSION_FCC_ID] == null)
{
Response.Redirect("~/NeedYouthInfo.aspx");
return;
}
String fccnum = Session[FCCConstants.SESSION_FCC_ID].ToString();
int fccNumber = Int32.Parse(Session[FCCConstants.SESSION_FCC_ID].ToString());
string reporttype = Request.QueryString["Reporttype"].ToString();
DataTable dt = null;
DataSet dsTablesBirthHistoryRpt = null;
int noteType;
switch (reporttype)
{
case "Birthhistory":
dsTablesBirthHistoryRpt = Passport.GetYouthBirthHistoryInfo(fccNumber);
dsTablesBirthHistoryRpt.Tables[0].TableName = "MPBirthDT";
CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.Load(rootPath + "\\" + "Reports\\MP_Reports\\MPBirthThruEarlyChildhood.rpt"); <--FAILS HERE
CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.Subreports[0].SetDataSource(dsTablesBirthHistoryRpt);
Utils.ExportToPDF(CrystalReportSource1, Response);
break;
}
The path is correct to the report. All the reports in the application fail at the same location. CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.Load(rootPath)
Any suggestions?
I am porting our integration with CR from the old COM based component to CR .Net. I'm using the latest version ((v.13.0.13.1597) for Visual Studio.
Our reports contain BLOB fields which are used throughout the sections, including repeating Details sections. Our database stores the desired width, height, and position of the BLOB field. For convenience, we add the width/height/position database fields as suppressed fields in the report so that we can easily access the values at runtime.
In our existing COM implementation we hook into the ISectionFormat event for each section that contains a BLOB field, and then when these events fire we iterate through the ReportObjects in the section to locate our dimension/position fields by name, something like...
IReportObjectPtr l_ReportObjectPtr = pReport->GetSections()->Item[ sectionNumber ]->GetReportObjects()->Item[ reportObjectIndex ];
if(l_ReportObjectPtr->Kind == crFieldObject )
{
l_FieldObject = l_ReportObjectPtr;
if( l_FieldObject->Name.GetBSTR() == HEIGHT_FIELD_NAME)
m_lfImageHeight = l_FieldObject->Value;
}
Once we have the values, we then again iterate through the ReportObjects in the Section that triggered the event to find the BLOB field and set the width/height/top/left values on the fieldObject accordingly.
How do I achieve this with the .NET SDK as the FieldObject->Value is no longer available?
I know that I can use the RAS SDK to access the data at runtime, but I can't seem to find any concept of the "current" row. I can hook into the new FormatSection event but there doesn't appear to be a way to find the section object that fired the event to get to the fields within it, or to then access the corresponding data values.
The overarching requirement is to allow our users to store BLOB images in our database along with the dimensions (in TWIPS). When they print the report, the BLOB's (and the sections within them) need to be resized on a row by row (section by section) basis to match the dimensions stored in the database. Is there a different way to achieve this in with the .NET SDK's if I can no longer do it the way we did with the COM component?
Hello,
I am doing some evaluation about moving our current reportsystem to a newer state using the newest "Crystal Report for Visual Studio" with the newest servicepack 5 and Visual Studio 2013.
I managed to create and load new reports to the CrystalReportViewer in C# quite easily and I is it also possible to load our existing reports, which were created with Crystal Report XI.
They use ODBC Text Drivers.
This all works perfectly fine in a stand alone application which uses .Net 4.5.2.
As the next step I tried to add this simple client as a dll library to our existing program, which is written in c++.
When debugging it works just fine and as expected, but when I then start the main program normaly and try to show a report Crystal Report crashes with the following message when CrystamReportViewer.ReportDocument is set.:
As you see the message does not help that much here.
Since it is working as a stand alone application and it gives the same error in all reports I suppose it is not a problem of the reports.
Have someone experienced something like this before?
The Crystal Report Assemblies use .Net Framework 2.0.
I have read that it is needed for standalone programs to add a app.config file with
<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startupuseLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntimeversion="v4.0"sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
But this is not possible for library dlls.
As far as I know this needs to be set in the main program, which is the exe written in C++.
So the problem is to use the Crystal Report runtime in a .Net 4.5.2 library dll which is called from an exe written in C++.
Do someone maybe have an idea what to do here and how this can be fixed.
Help is pretty much appreciated and thanks in advance.
I've been having an issue where a sub report has a TTX file as a database with a relative path (".\\Cert_WorksetSpecialText.ttx""). Unfortunately when I open it in the Viewer I receive the Database connection Dialog for that file. If I use hard coded paths for the file it works fine. Also the Main reports TTX has a relative path, and it does not cause any issues.
simplified code is as follows:
ReportDocument MainReport = new ReportDocument();
MainReport .Load(ReportFile);
MainReport.SetDataSource(DataTable);
MainReport.VerifyDatabase();
[...]
ReportDocument SubReportDocument= MainReport.OpenSubreport(SubReportName);
SubReportDocument.SetDataSource(SubDataTable);
SubReportDocument.VerifyDatabase();
When displaying in the viewer I receive:
as a work around I trued changing the Database.ConnectionInfo to a static Path by doing the following prior to setting the DataSource:
TableLogOnInfo T = SubReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].LogOnInfo;
T.ConnectionInfo.LogonProperties[0] = new NameValuePair2("Field Definition File", x);
T.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = x;
T.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
SubReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.Attributes.Collection[4] = new NameValuePair2("QE_ServerDescription", x);
SubReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].ApplyLogOnInfo(T);
Though on ApplyLogOnInfo it reset the path back to ".\\Cert_WorksetSpecialText.ttx". Not using the ApplyLogOnInfo did not have any noticeable effect either. I had read somewhere that setting the location after ApplyLogOnInfo would do the trick, so I tried:
SubReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].Location = T.TableName;
This only created an "Connection not possible" error in VS.
I cannot change the RPT files, since our current system required the dynamic pathing in the existing files, and I am only replacing one part of the system which was based on VB 6.0 and a much older version of CR (which stopped working after a server update).
I am currently using the latest update (13.0.16.1954) and tried an earlier v13 as well.
And suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am using:
Windows 10 Pro 64 bits Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.71) on an i7-4790 CPU
Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 13.0.16 (downloaded and installed today Feb/01/2016).
I installed the Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit)
I followed the instructions in the Tutorial "Connecting to ADO.NET DataSets" (I changed the data source to SQL Server 2014 Express).
I built the application and there was no error reported.
When I tried to debug I got the error message:
An error occurred creating the form.
See Exception.InnerException for details.
The error is: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.ReportSourceFactory' threw an exception."
The application was being compiled to Any CPU I changed it to X86 (copying the settings from the Any CPU configuration). The error message appeared again.
The application was targeting .NET Framework 4.5.2 I changed it to 4. The error message appeared again.
I deleted the application and followed the tutorial set by step again.
The error message is still there.
What am I doing wrong? How can I solve this problem?
Hello,
Since we migrated to new servers (Windows Server 2012 R2) and changed our applications to target .NET Framework 4.6.1 (with absolutely no changes to our reports), exporting to PDF from the ASP.NET CRViewer control results in all blank pages.

I could do with some help with installing Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (2015) (13.0.15).
We are using Install Shield LE and our setup includes the merge-modules.
Having been 'on-site' last week, everything installed and worked perfectly on 11 out of 13 machines. On 2 of them I get the following error:-
... and similar errors regarding all of the SAP dlls.
The ones that installed OK are a mixture of Win 7, Win 8.1 and Win 10 (some 32bit, some 64bit).
The 2 that gave the above error are both Win 7 - one is 32bit and the other 64bit.
They all have the VC++ Redistributables and I can't see any differences on similar machines that did work!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Hello,
I have recently upgrade my working station to SP16. When I run reports I have a slight glitch that make 2 of my fields be displayed on top of each others. I did not have this issue previously with SP15 it's also ok once exported in PDF or from Crystal Reports Designer.
The fields are close to the right border of the Report but there is place to display them. All of our reports have those information at the bottom going thru them is not realist.
Here is the issues in images:
Thank you.
I am using the graphic location to pull an image from the disk and place it in the report. This works with 2013 crystal reports. When I use the .Net Viewer I can show the path an it is correct but the image fails to show more often than not. If I click previous and next and keep doing it sometimes one of the images will come back and the other are missing. It works great except in the .Net Viewer. Please help. If I go to the need of the report then back to the beginning most of the time all the images on each page are missing. Any ideas?
First time the report loads most of the images show until I change pages and then some will not show.
Dear Experts,
I have designed report for Pre-printed stationary. now i have to fix the alignment after exporting (ExportFormatType.WordForWindows)
word document. i can adjust single object like text object and FieldObject. now i want adjust the all the fields in report after exporting word.
How can i move the all controls in single selection, is there any control for out line Frame in report?
attached file for your reference.
thanks in advance,
Mani.
Im creating a PDF from crystal reports and then open it with adobe reader straight after.
However, sometimes I think adobe reader tries to open the file before it is fully created. (The pdf file exists but maybe still not complete ??)
Here is my code:
rep.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Utilities.Paths.pathToPDFs + fileNamePreFix + dt + ".pdf");
Open("\"" + Utilities.Paths.pathToPDFs, fileNamePreFix + dt + ".pdf" + "\"", Utilities.Paths.pathToAdobeReader);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Utilities.Paths.pathToAdobeReader, "\"" + Utilities.Paths.pathToPDFs + fileNamePreFix + dt + ".pdf" + "\"");
Could it be that the ExportToDisk is returning early before the PDF file has been fully created ?
This is the error message I am getting:
Once I click OK, then then Adobe reader displays the report.

I'm looking for a link somewhere on the SAP website to download the Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4. Can someone please provide the URL for this?
Hi!

Hi
I have created a web viewer in .net 4.5.2 with CRforVS_13_0_14 but the print and export dont do anything. I have tried different browsers but still no joy. I have made sure the reports are saved in the latest version of Crystal
I recently upgraded to CRforVS_13_0_16 but that screwed up the layout of the reports and the print and export functionality didnt work
If anyone has come across this before or has some helpful hints it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Ian
Hi,
We have environment in the below configuration.
OS Version: Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit
Crystal Version: Crystal Report 2008 Runtime
Application: ASP.NET
Framework: .NET Framework 4.0
After launching report in asp.net while try to export, print, page navigation in report viewer is not responding in IE 11, Google Chrome and Firefox Browsers
after enabling script debugging while launching report before rendering it show the script error as "Error: 'WebForm_InitCallback' is undefined" in IE 11
After the script error report getting launched but i cannot do any tasks in report viewer print, export, next, previous. in fiddler also there is not trace
for these events.
May i know how to overcome this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Create a C# winform project with crystal report, run the form, a crystal report will display to us. Check the toolbar for report, didn't find "Stop Loading" button. How I can add "Stop Loading" button for crystal report?
One more question, "Go to Page" item doesn't work in my project, it still keep the original page afte I pressed enter key, what's wrong with it? it works well if create a C# winform project with crystal report.
See attached screenshot "report.png".
The crystal report version I installed was CRforVS_13_0_13.exe.
Thanks,
Ada
Hi,
I have found that since upgrading to SP15, setting ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula to anything else (e.g. appending additional filter criteria) resets the RecordSelectionFormula property to blank.
Same goes for ReportDocument.DataDefinition.RecordSelectionFormula property, whereas the read only (and undocumented) ReportDocument.DataDefinition.RecordSelectionFormulaRaw property returns what the ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula property was actually set to.
The ability to update the RecordSelectionFormula is critical to the way our reports are run so this needs addressed urgently. In the meantime I have rolled back to SP14 where it works fine.
Can this please be investigated and a hot fix issued?
Thanks,
Gareth
