How you can run CR version 12.0.0.683 in Visual Studio 2010?

[Former Member]

I need to deploy web reports using CR 2008 (12.0.0.683): Server has installed that version.

When I set reference of

Crystaldecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

Crystaldecisions.ReportSource

Crystaldecisions.Web

Crystaldecisions.Shared

to version 12, get an error on ReportViewer:

"The base class includes the field 'CrystalReportViewer1', but its type (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer)." ?!?

I know is possible run reports version 12.** in VS 2010 (also with version 13, when installed runtime CRVS2010, but I cannot do it in web server)

How to get the right reference?

The version of the Crystal SDK that is installed with CR 2008 is not supported in VS 2012.  Instead, you need to download the latest "Install Executable" for Crystal for Visual Studio from here:  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824.  When you install your application, you'll need to use one of the runtime installs that is also available on that page.  This version of the SDK will have no problems working with reports created in CR 2008.
