Crystal Reports 2013 is the tool for designing reports.  Unlike earlier versions of Crystal, the .NET SDK is not included with the software.  Instead, you can download it for free from here:  .  You'll download and install the latest version of the "Install Executable" to get integration with Visual Studio.  The other downloads are for the various formats of runtime installs that you would use when installing your application.

Also, this version of the SDK does not play well in VS when an earlier version of the SDK is installed.  So, if you need to do code maintenance on an older app in an older version of VS, you'll need to have a two different computers (or VMs) - one with the older version of VS and the SDK and one with VS 2010 and this new version of the SDK.

by using following link you can download SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824

else you can develop the crystal report using your crystal report software and call it to your form in runtime.

For your reference: You can use this C# code

using System;using System.Windows.Forms;using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; using CrystalDecisions.Shared; namespace WindowsApplication1 {    public partial class Form1 : Form    {        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();            cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt");            ParameterFieldDefinitions crParameterFieldDefinitions ;            ParameterFieldDefinition crParameterFieldDefinition ;            ParameterValues crParameterValues = new ParameterValues();            ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();            crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = textBox1.Text;            crParameterFieldDefinitions = cryRpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;            crParameterFieldDefinition = crParameterFieldDefinitions["Customername"];            crParameterValues = crParameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues;            crParameterValues.Clear();            crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue);            crParameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues);            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;            crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();        }    } }

     Dell thank for your reply. We have developed a web application to our academia purpose. This application has VS2010 as front end, sql server 2005 as a back end and reporting purpose we use SAP crystal report for visual studio 2010 and hosted in our web server. After 30 to 50 crystal report download from our web application it generated some error message   (i.e The maximum report processing job s limited configured by your system administrator has been reached).we assumed that due to license problem this error was occurred and we purchased SAP crystal report 2013 and then installed in our web server. After installation of SAP crystal report 2013 was not shown in our VS 2010  control panel and does not have crystal report template in add  new item option . We got suggestion  from some SNC previous post that installed SAP crystal report 2013 and crystal report for visual studio 2010 on same server and tried for to generate sap crystal reports. After 30 to 50 report following error will occurs and does not allow the export option. So suggest some solution for this problem.

The license for Crystal 2013 has nothing to do with what's going on in Crystal for Visual Studio.  CR for VS has a limit of (I think) 5 concurrent users and 100 open "print jobs".  A print job is counted with a report and any subreport.  So, for example, if you have a report that has a single subreport that runs in the report header, that report will take up 2 print jobs.

Are you explicitly doing reportdocument.Close() and reportdocument.Dispose() anywhere in the application?  You need to do this after you finish processing the report - if your program is just exporting data, then this will be when the export process is finished.  However, if users are viewing reports interactively, then this will have to be when they close the viewer page.
