We had our Crystal Reports report sheets in 2008 working and when we moved to 2010, some of them which their datasources were binded to dataset and datatables are not working. Anyone knows of a reason? Thanks
Happened to me too. Basically there is a new CR for VS 2010 that you need to install it manually. It used to be come in the box with VS but not for VS2010. You need to do code changes. Word of caution to pay attention to the 64 or 32 bit CR.
You can download it http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystalreports-dotnet
In case you're looking for Crystal Reports for VS 2010, look here: http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp
You'll need one of the first two downloads to install Crystal Reports into Visual Studio. Then you'll need one of the other downloads to distribute the runtime files. For example, if you're hosting a web application on a 64-bit server, you'll need to run the last download in the list on that server.

I have a fairly large application that we have been using VS 2008 for including Report Viewer 2008. Lately we have made the hop and decided to migrate to VS 2015, however in doing so VS 2015 requires all .RDLC templates be converted to the latest format to use the designer. After doing so I am indeed able to open the reports in the designer and they visually appear to have ported fine however they fail to load in the compiled application all together. I receive the following error
An error occurred during local report processing.
I understand this is a pretty generic error so I know it's not much help. Additionally all reports work fine prior to the conversion in the compiled application I simply can't open them in the designer. I have attempted to use a newer version of report viewer and it did fix this specific issue and reports loaded however it introduced other issues as well as a deployment headache, so ideally this would be possible with SSRS 2008.
Does anyone have any idea what the conversion might be doing to make reports specifically not load with ReportViewer 2008? Are the converted templates incompatible?
Thank you ahead of time for any help.
I've created a bunch of RPT files and we've been using Business Objects to run them against our sql db using a different param's for each rpt file to generate a pdf.
Is there an api I can use to run these reports?
I've downloaded and installed crystal reports for visual studio, but (1) I'm not sure which dll's I need to add to accomplish this and (2) I can't find any documentation or sample code -- can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish, your question is not very clear. If you are looking for a program to view the reports in, SAP has a free version of the Crystal Reports Viewer available here. If you want to create applications to run your reports in, you will need something like Visual Studio, which lets you create Windows Forms or Web Applications to embed your Crystal Reports in.
EDIT: To add Crystal Reports to Visual Studio you will first need to download the runtime from SAP. Most commom runtimes can be found here. Then you will have to add the CR to your toolbox in VS by choosing Tools -> choose Toolbox items. Make sure the .NET Frameworks Components tab is selected and scroll to the CrystalReport items. Check the items you want to add (CrystalReportViewer for sure) and click OK. After that the CR Viewer should be available to you in the Reporting section of your toolbox.

thanks for ur time
In Vs 2003 the Runtime of Crystal reports was bundled in the program setup when you create the installer and installed, but with vs 2005 and later you have to install it.
I think here you can find the msi
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27917
The dll version of the Runtime that ships with vs is different from the various version of Crystal reports, so you have to install the right one
There's a good chance that installing the new version of Crystal Reports wiped your previous assemblies out of the GAC and replaced them with a newer version. From SAP:
As each version of Crystal Reports has its' own specific runtime which
must be correctly deployed, it is critical that the deployed runtime
be in agreement with the Crystal Reports assemblies for Visual Studio
.NET referenced in your project.
Your error looks like it is trying to find a DLL from Crystal Reports 10.5 and as the above link suggests, it does not like having differing versions of crystal reports running side by side.
I need to deploy one or more existing reports created in SSRS from a C# Visual Studios project without using a report server? The project we are working on only needs 3 reports and the project lead feels that establishing a report server is not justified.
We are working with Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Please help.
So you want to generate your reports without the report server ?
If so, your best (but not recommander option) is to convert rdl files (your reports) to rdlc files (client reporting) and use them with the ReportViewer control (WebForms/WinForms). Depending in your implementation, it can be quite difficultt to do.
Here is a sample from MSDN.
i need to know the difference between Crystal Reports and Visual Studio Report Viewer? is IIS needed by both of them? which shall i use? which one is free?
I have to develop winform applications which would only work and report locally.
