Crystal Report 13 for VS 2010

[former_member338927]

Hi all,

we're going to upgrade from Crystal Reports .NET 10.2 to Crystal Reports 13 for VS 2010.

we're done download,but find there are more files than before.

We used to add all reference we can find:

1.CrystaDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

2.CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework

3.CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore

4.CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

5.CrystalDecisions.Shared

6.CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms

but this time, too much more dll files to add blindly, please tell which are needed to do windows app and which are need to do web app.

thanks for the  help.

Hi Shu,

CR for VS does not include these 2 dll's any more:

2.CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework

3.CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore

The other ones are the default and should simply be updated when you upgrade your app.

You will need to update the Viewer reference on your Form to the new version 13.

Check your References for Windows App and for the WEB app check the Web.config file and change them to version 13.

And for WEB app's just add the CR.WEB viewer.

Hi Don,

this time, there are dozens of dlls, can you tell the minimum set. Otherwise it will cost lots time to update the references in our 30 projects.

our Windows app use Datasets to produce reports on each clients machine.

So your old app is using just the engine then that's all you still need.

And because you are using Data Set's add this to your app.config file:

startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">

Do not add the references by dll, add the Assemblies by from the Assembly Tab, don't browse to them.

Hi Don,

the Crystal files and references got updated automatically. All the changes come with hands-down. That is great!

All reports run as well as before.

it seems like the update to the  startup entry in app.config is unnecessary. Right?

thanks,

If you are using ADO.NET then it is required.

If you are not getting an error then you are not using that driver so not required
