I am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?

View 1 RepliesI have Visual Studio 2010 installed on a 64-bit OS with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (obviously 64-bit edition as well). When I installed the runtime, their installation notes stated that if you develop 32-bit applications, you need install the 32-bit runtime, which I did. Testing the application and all is well.
However, this application is going to be distributed as x86 and x64. Now I have not yet converted my project to 64-bit, but should I now install the 64-bit runtime? How is this going to affect my 32-bit installation and report designs?
Secondly, when I distribute my application to the end-user, will they also be required to install the Crystal Reports runtime? Also according to their installation type (32-bit/64-bit)?
Lastly, I want to convert my project from x86 to x64. I understand you set this option by Build > Configuration Manager > (project) x64. Is it ok if I duplicate the entire project folder contents and setting only the duplicate project as x64?
I have to update and old VB project made with Visual Studio 2005 that uses Crystal Reports to Visual Studio 2010. I've installed the Crystal Reports plugin for VS 2010. I can compile the program under VS 2010 but when I run it and try to generate a report I get many errors popping up from the Crystal Reports Viewer. When I compile and run the project in Visual Studio 2005 (with the old Crystal Reports plugin that comes with it) everything works fine.
The problem is caused by SQL Expressions that are SELECT statements that are not enclosed in parenthesis. This is a problem because there are ~250 SQL Expressions like that in the report file (and it's not the only report with this problem). When I look at the .rpt file in Crystal Reports 10 and use Database -> Show SQL Query the SQL Expressions have parenthesis around them despite there being no parenthesis around these statements in the SQL Expression Editor. When I do the same in Crystal Reports 2008 the SQL Expressions don't have the parenthesis included.
Is there a way to make Crystal Reports 2008 or the plugin in for VS 2010 automatically include the parenthesis around SQL expressions, or was this feature removed? If it was removed, is there anyway to enclose the SQL expressions in parenthesis other than editing each one manually?
I'm buiding an app that loads a crystal report document but it's loading the document from my local drive. I need to embed the crystal report i think because I don't want it reading from the local drive because I'm looking to deploy this to other users when it's done. Are there any other options?

View 1 Replieshow to create Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 for a Client Server application? The problem I faced is that when I created Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 where the Crystal Report is displayed in the client application it does not get refreshed with data entered. It only displays data that was entered during the time of development. I think this is probably because the database path changes when deployed in a new environment while the Crystal report keeps referring to the database location at development time.

View 11 RepliesI am new to VB programming, I am writing a windows program in visual basic using visual studio 2008. I need to create a report using the reporting features in visual studio. I am using the report.rdlc to design the report and for the data to go into.
The data I need to display is from several different sql querys in a data source. That have different parameters passed into them every time a button is clicked on my program. So far i have created several data sources and linked this to the report.rdlc and the data seems to be appearing. However the way i have done seems so long and not complicated that I think there must be an easier way and less messy.
So I am looking for advice on how to make a report that is less messy to the way I have done it. The steps I have is that I have either a store procedure or several sql querys that will have different parameters each time and this will then populate my report when a button is clicked to view a report.
I am creating a visual basic project for class. It is all running as intended though I am not sure how to set up the login to database function. When you click the link for the specific report it should display the page. But I get a login to database page. I am just wondering how I set that up so that one can actually see the information. ie:

View 2 RepliesI made a program in VB .net 2008 that has a form in which there is a Crystal Report Viewer object. Here is some code:
[Code]...
1. Some reports show tens and hundreds of thousands or records (they are required to do so, so no work-around is possible), thus the time it takes for the Crystal Report Viewer control to actually show the report is very long. I would like to display like a waiting dialog window WHILE the report is loading its records telling the user to wait for it to load.
2. Another idea would be to show the number of records currently loaded (and continuously updated as the report loads them) from the total number. This is actually shown in my reports when i open them with Crystal Reports 10, but NOT with the Viewer control on the form! How can i make it show this?
If it is possible can I please have a few pointers use Crystal Reports XI with .Net 2008 Express?
View 2 RepliesI can create a program or web page that can display crystal reports. I have searched and searched with google but am still none the wiser. I foolishly assumed that there would just be some .NET SDK on the Crystal Reports website, and there isnt... there is a lot of talk about it, but no download link or anything.They are using Crystal 8.5 - does anyone have a clue how I can even get started with this? Will there be an SDK on the Crystal CD or something?

I'm having errors in making the orpt object. It says that CrystalReport1 is not defined though I already created a CrystalReport1.rpt file on my solution.
A couple of things firstly When I create a new Crystal Reports file (using the built in Crystal Reports in Visual Studio) I create a blank document. I then insert a Text label type text and goto properties and Visual Studio Exits with no rhyme or reason. No error. Anyone experienced this or get any ideas?
Secondly I have a form with a load of text boxes in a column/row arrangement and text labels as column headers. I then want to be able print these in nice view (I have a certain way I have to display the print out.
I have never used Crystal Reports but I thought this would be the way to go about it. Is this right or is there another easy way? If it is can anyone point me to any example (preferablly begginer and basic) that I can read and learn from?

Is there a way to make VS2008 work with the old (vs2005 crystal reports) assemblies and not require any updates to be installed in the client machines? We have upgraded a Visual Studio 2005 .net 2.0 solution to Visual Studio 2008. The purpose is to take advantage of the IDE improvements and because it supports multi targeting. The solution still has to be built against .net 2.0. It all works as advertised, we rebuild and run it in a machine with only .net 2.0 installed.
But during testing we get an exception when we try to show a Crystal Report that is included with the application. Then upon review we find out that without telling us, Visual Studio changed the references to the crystal assemblies and pointed our solution to the updated versions that come with vs2008, which requires crystal runtime be updated on client machines. We did try removing the references and adding the old ones but it won't compile.
I'm using my data objects in a crystal report. The thing is, when I select my object, it gets added to the field explorer table. My properties are listed except for the Nullable Type properties. Why would this happen. I've had quite a few issues yesterday as this is my first attempt at a crystal report in .Net. I thought I worked around them but now I've hit this snag.
