Crystal Report with VS 2013

[Former Member]

Hi!

I am having problem with crystal report visual studio 2013. It always display this message:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet1\crdb_adoplus.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can anyone here help please?

Currently I am using:

1. VS 2013 Update 3

2. Crystal Report SP 10

Hello,

Add this to your App.config file:

As the name of the key suggests it's due to changes in how MS supports ADO.NET driver. To work in CR it needs the legacy mode enabled.

Hi Vanna

What would I have to do to get this error? E.g.; I suspect if you try to run any of the example apps from here: Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki, you will not have issues. So, how do I get the error?

Also, make sure you ran the CR install exe, not the MSI when installing SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET.
