I have a problem. It has been a few years since I used Crystal Reports. I am now currently trying to develop reports in Crystal Reports 2016.
I purchased the product on line, downloaded what I was told was the latest copy and proceeded to install it. It installed correctly and after a quick reboot I quickly created a report and tied that report into my database. When I view the data, it does correctly display the data in the report.
The problem is that when I went to build the viewer portion in the HMI, I went to Report Viewers and there was only a Microsoft Report Viewer. There was no Crystal Reports Viewer. I looked on line and people had said that I would need to download an update to the software but when I was directed to the page it had a version number like (13.X.X.??) whereas when I check my help I have:
Version 14.2.2.1975
CR Developer
What do I have to do to get the tool bar item? I have never had to do anything before. I continued on figuring I would just create the items manually in the designer instead of dragging and dropping. I looked throughout the installation area and I could not find my familiar DLLs:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
CrystalDecisions.Window.Forms
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
Have these been replaced by something else? I am at a loss since all of my code and all of the examples I have seen have required these DLLs.
The documentation for programmers for this product is somewhat lacking if there have been big changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
