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?
