We are using a very simple implementation of the WPF Crystal Reports Report Viewer in VB.Net 2010. One of my grids contain the Crystal Reports viewer; the visibility of that grid is controlled by one of the Ribbon tabs in the application. We are loading a ReportDocument, asking it for all of the connection requirements, and then setting all needed data sources, prompting data, etc,  then attaching to the viewer as the "ReportViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = ReportDocument", then making the grid containing the Report Viewer Visable.  This is working fine, for one report; but our business flow dictates that we "Clear" the ReportViewer after we are finished viewing a report; leaving it "blank" or be ready to load another (different) report (new report document) on demand. As it stands this is throwing all kinds of errors and we are not making much headway to solve this issue. There does not seem to be many posts regarding how this is done. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I installed the crystal report V13.0.5 below (upgrading from V13.0.4 to V13.0.5

I copied the files below to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0

when I click on the Prerequisite button in the publish tab in VS 2010, there is an exclamation mark next to "SAP...."

(Prerequisite could not be found for bootstrapping)

it was working fine when I had V13.0.4

Now when I click publish, Visual studio does not copy CRRuntime.. to the Publish folder.

Please help.

Dear Support,

When the user 'X' is trying to print documetns she is receiving the error message 'No printer device found'.

For information, we already tried to change her default printer locally, restart her computer and citrix but it had no impact.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

This is the prompts I am getting:

I noticed is that for some reason the datasource is picking up a database instance that is incorrect in the deployed environment.  Not sure where that comes from....  I have a database instance in my development environment but it is different.

Any help will be appreciated...

Hi

I am new to the site and crystal reports.  I am using crystal reports for vs 2010 and programming in c#

I have an old database which has user login credentials stored in a separate database (workgroup security?). I can connect to it via c# by passing the login details to the .mdw file and the main database in the connection string.

I can also (in design view) connect to the database and produce a report.

However when I try running the report at runtime, I am being asked for login details... and even after providing the details is does not connect..

I connect using this method in design time:

but i cannot find any information on how to connect at runtime...  Where do I set the session username, session password and system database?

my code to connect looks a bit like this:

          ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();

          TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos();

          TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();

          ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();

          Tables CrTables;

            string path = Application.StartupPath;

            cryRpt.Load(path + "\\" + report);

           crConnectionInfo.UserID = "someuser";

            crConnectionInfo.Password = "password";

            crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "z:\\main_database.mdb";

            CrTables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;

            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in CrTables)

            {

                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo;

                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;

                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);

            }

            if (parameter != "")

                cryRpt.SetParameterValue(parameter, value);

           crvMain.ReportSource = cryRpt;

I am losing the will to live trying to find the solution to this, can anyone help??

Hello,

My name is Jose and I am a programmer, currently doing some stress tests to verify the efficiency and cost of Telerik versus Crystal ... One of the test is loading images in reports.

We have encountered a problem with Crystal when reporting simple images. As an example, we have a report that samples only the logo of the pupils in a school.

The problem is showing bad pictures, they seem empty (the images are properly stored in the database because we can display on our website and also using telerik reporting). We work with Visual Studio 2008, data is read from a database SQL server 2008, and the images are stored in a field of type "image".

We searched for information on the Internet and there are not many viable practical solutions in this regard. Many people advocate storing the images on a server and use a physical path to locate the images, but this solution is not valid for us. Can you help?.

Many thanks and best regards,

Hello,

I'm devoling crystal reports under visual studio 2010. I'm asking if i need to purchase a runtime license to run these reports in production environment that run under Windows 2008 Server R2 or I need only to install CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_4.msi ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am working on a legacy Visual Studio (VS) 2005 app on WinXP that uses Crystal Reports & it needs to install

'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm'. This app needs to be converted to a 32-bit VS-2010 on WinXP. (The long term goal is to port the app to Windows 7. However, we 1st want to upgrade it to VS-2010 on WinXP & test it there, before we port it to Windows 7).

1) How many Release Notes documents do you have on this particular issue?

2) From all of your different installation options, which one do I need or the least painful (to replace my .msm file).

Thank you.

I've visual studio 2010 (with sp1), platform windows 7 (64bit).

I've used crystal reports and without problem unto installing vs2010 sp1.

After then I've installed/uninstalled SAP Crystal Report, version for Visual Studio 2010 several time.

Reason of uninstalling is that I've got error message "Invalid key" several times , or crystal report templates have been disappeared.

Now my problem is that I can't add new crystal report to visual studio project because

there are not crystal report templates in reporting templates (visual studio --> add new item-->installed templates-->reporting)

I can modify earlier made reports.

That template disappeared, I don't know why.

Now I've installed following programs:

SAP Crystal Report runtime engine for net framework 4(32bit)

SAP Crystal Report runtime engine for net framework 4(64bit)

SAP Crystal Report, version for Visual Studio 2010 13.0,4

SAP Crystal Report, version for Visual Studio 2010 13.0,0

What should I do that I could add crystal report to project.

Hi Team

We are currently using CRYSTAL Report 2008 SP4 to develop report in our application and make a reference of crystal reports dll. Now we are going to use the CR XI R2 Developer 2006. My question is if we use CR XI R2 in our application to compile and build the app, and the deployment machine [UAT\PROD] is having CRYSTAL Report 2008 SP4, what could be the possible bug thrown by the system?.

Visual Studio 2010

SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 (13.0.0.99)

In older version of CR Runtime, I used setLogonInfo to specify database login information.

Would anyone tell me how can I supply the login information to Crystal Report when I use WPF Crystal Report Viewer so that it will not prompt the user to enter login name and password?

Thanks.

Hi there

I hope someone is able to assist with a problem we have been having for the last 2 years:

Certain of our machines are XP and other Windows 7 - our application uses Crystal reports which works well on XP. On the Win 7 machines the Prompting screen for parameters now opens with IE and no longer passes parameters to the reports to run.

I have Crystal 2008 which I use to develope reports and all works well in the report designer but when accessed by the application on a Windows 7 machine nothing works. I do not have access to the application source code but think it is using the runtime files installed with Business Objects XI.

c:\program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\3.5\

I think it has something to do with security settings but cannot find any solutions from Microsoft

The only reference I have found to this problem was a discussion/message posted on this forum :

http://scn.sap.com/message/13392151#13392151 - I have tried this process as detailed without any success on various machines

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

my customer currently uses our product on a citrix client ( as far as I know WinServer 2003). It appears that if a user tries to open an .rpt-file in the WPF Crystal Reports Viewer there is a Xerces Panic Error (unfortunatly without any more details, besides: "could not load a transcoding service"). Trying the same with an administrator account does not produce this error.

Are there any special folders a user using the viewer needs permissions to?

Do you have other ideas?

What I already tried was reviewing the keys in the registry beneath HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset , but all were valid. (Found that this could make trouble...)

Thanks in advance,

Janina

The Crystal Report has two Sort Fields originally at design
time. However, it might have more than two Sort fields needed at run time, for
example, 5 Sort Fields. In the previous VB6 with CRAXDRT, where its
RecordSortFields.Add function will be doing the job. But in the CR2010, it
won’t be allowed doing so. Do you know which alternative way could accomplish
this job?

Hi,

  We are working in Crystal Reports 2011 (and also 2008) and we have a need to pass multiple values in a single parameter to a webservice method.

  I have searched the web for results and I cannot find a suitable answer.  Here is what I tried:

  This is a c# .Net  webservice.  If I set the method parameter to a string type, when the following parameter is passed, here is what I get:

  Pass in:  stringA&stringB&stringC

  In the webmethod:  the value is: stringA

  I've tried changing the method parameter to a string array (string[]).  Same result.

  If you view this parameter from within the Crystal Report, the parameter is shown as a Static, with Allow Custom Values = true, and Allow Multiple values = false (and greyed out).

  Since this parameter is created when the datasource is selected, I'm not sure how to get the results needed.

  Also, just as a test, I changed the data to: stringA+stringB+stringC, and this was passed to the webservice.

  Another attempt was to do something like the following:    {?parameters.AgingByProgramReport.strOperatingGroup.string} = Replace ({?parameters.AgingByProgramReport.strOperatingGroup},'&', '+')

  Not sure if this is even possible or would work prior to passing the data to the webservice, but I couldn't figure out the syntax or how to make this happen prior to the webservice call.

  Has anyone been able to figure out how to make this work ?  This is important to a number of reports that will be built this way and this is one of the key outstanding questions.  If we could pass the string or string array, that would do the trick.

  Thanks for the help.

Hi,

1) I have created a "Report1" using OLE DB(ADO) "Windows Authentication"

2) My program in C# execute/call the "Report1" and works perfect (in local DB - SQL EXPRESS)  "Windows Authentication"

Know I need to deploy in a network (using "SQL Server Authentication"), where I have a client/server environment but with "DB autentication".

How can I change the string connection from my "Report1" in runtime ?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Open a report in the report viewer and then goto page 2 and press backspace. you will reach to page 1 but the page number showing in the viewer is still page 2.

Please look in to this issue, if you have any solution.

Thank you
