CrystalReportViewer gives error, "Failed to create component"

When I try to add the crystalreportviewer to my form it gives me this error
Before I decide to post the question I check all the cases and try everything but still the same problem.
Here is the startup in my app.config
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>

Your Crystal report version is not match on your visual studio and SDK that is install on your machain

Crystal Report Loading Error in VS 2010 C#

I'm doing a project in c# 2010 that generate reports. I want to use Crytal Report for reporting on the project but getting the following error -
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 help me out this error.

To solve this error.You have to add following code to your app.config file.
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>

Exception with crystal reports

I am developing application which uses SAP Crystal Reports for reporting with Visual Studio 2013 Professional.
I downloaded and install package from SAP site, install that. Report is prepared using wizard (this works correctly). Problem is if I following step in source code:
myCrystalReport.SetDataSource(myDataSet);
myDataSet is filled with required data. Displayed error is:
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.
During installation folder dotnet1 were not created. There is only folder dotnet.
Do somebody know how can be this problem resolved?
Thank you.

I had the exact same problem. My solution was to add this xml to the app.config file inside the <configuration> level:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>

<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
</startup>
</configuration>
Due to mixed mode assemblies has changed this problem will occur so it is recommended to you use above code into app.config file.

you have use below code in app.config and also have to set .net profile 4 client to .net profile 4 or 4.5 in project property.
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>

All above solution not working in my project and application goes in break mode. i solve this problem by adding following lines in app.config inside the configuration.
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
</startup>

ICLRRuntimeInfo into my dll - possible?

I have a mixed mode 2.0 dll, and a 4.0 dll. I want to supply this
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
to my dll. Without an app.config (or changing machine.config) is this even possible?

You cannot supply this information just for single assembly - the entire application will be executed either on top of 2.0 or 4.0 runtime host.
If the question is how to support v2.0 and v4.0 in application without app.config - see Embedding supportedRuntime into exe file

Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime

I got this exception after runing an execuable in command line execution:
"Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information."
After search this issue on internet, I found one of the way out is to configure App.Config file.
That works fine in VS2010 but still generates same error in command mode.
So is there any way to resolve this by using command line as generating newer version of .dll is impossible.
Thanks!

You can also try useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>

Make sure you have configured both the App.config and the ProgramName.exe.config file.
For example:
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Another solution can be to recompile all mixed(C++/CLI) assemblies you are dependent on for .NET 4.0. It is often not possible if these assemblies are third party.
