How to read Crystal Report file Design version programmatically

Hi,

I am working on a project where I need the read Crystal file header and extract information that which designer was used to create the (Crystal) report. This will help me do some specific task if the version of the crystal used is very old (say older than 7.0), relatively new (say between 7.0 and 11.0) and the latest (11.0 or later).

I have downloaded the SDK and all the dlls, but I just couldn't find any API or function using which I can get this info.

Could you please let me know if there is any way to read this information programmatically from a crystal file?

(I know this info can be seen in Crystal designer, but I need to do it at runtime).

Thanks.
