I had to clean format my computer and reinstall all the applications and data, including Visual Studio 2010. I'm supporting a somewhat older windows application that was written in VS 2010 that was written for VS 2010 that I now need to make some code changes to. For the sake of argument, assume that upgrading a to a more recent version of Visual Studio is off the table. My computer where I'm running VS 2010 is 64 bit windows 8.1 and the desktop clients that are my application are a mix of 32 bit Windows XP and Windows 7. The application is a windows application, and not an ASP, that has some reports and the report view that is available from crystal. I recall the clients all needed to have CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.exe installed in order to run correctly. As for development computer I can't recall exactly to did to configure it or what, if any, additional SDKs that I downloaded in order to be able to work with this project. When I opened up the project I got numerous error messages, many of them relating to Crystal. The errors include:
Type 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer' is not defined.
Type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass' is not defined.
Type 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues' is not defined.
Type 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue' is not defined.
Type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section' is not defined.
And so on. I checked the references and there is already numerous Crystal items in the list that I could potentially add:
Which brings me to my questions:
1. Can just adding one or more of the existing references resolve my problem?
2. If so which one(s)?
3. Or do I need to download and install an SDK, etc first?
