I have problem with Crystal Reports. I am using Visual Studio 2015 and Crystal Reports 13.0.5, Windows Server 2012 R2.
Runtime works fine, but I can see only hexadecimal code when I'm trying to open rpt files in designer. Thing is I can't change version of Crystal Reports, because every app is written on this version.
I have tried to find solutions in internet with no success. Also I have tried to reinstall both runtimes and dev version many times.
Any ideas what might be an issue ?

I had a project in VS2008. It was deployed without a problem. However now I need to make some changes and upgraded that project to VS2012 (because VS2008 is not working).
In that project I have a Crystal report, but I am not able to open that in VS2012. When I open the report, all I see is numbers and letters.
Also tried deploying it on client machine; it just shows the report viewer and Crystal report is missing.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or do I need to build whole crystal report from scratch?
SAP updates their drivers from time-to-time, to work with newer versions of Visual Studio.
Here is their landing page, with the current driver and a list of all older drivers:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Here's a direct link to the latest installation package (SP9) for the Visual Studio IDE:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio
I'd close Visual Studio while installing the driver, but you shouldn't need to reboot afterwards.
Make sure you install the "install executable" (exe) file, not one of the msi files. That won't integrate Crystal into VS, as they mention on that page:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012 (SP 7 and higher) or VS 2013 (SP 9 or higher), you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
OS details: Windows 8 64 bit
Visual studio: 2012
Crystal Report Version : 13_0_2
till now,I was using XP SP3 [32 bit] with VS2010,and crystal report was working properly.But now, after upgrade, when I click ADD ITEMS in aspx page,the list of contents doesn't show me crystal report.
In toolbox also,no crystal report controls were available.
I have installed it twice,but still not getting crystal report components.
To work with Visual Studio 2012 you need SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Service Pack 6 or higher.
See this for a quick look-up of all Support Packs, Fixed Issues and Distribution File downloads available for SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio.
I have in front of me a Crystal Reports project. It was first done in Visual Studio 2005 and is now being converted to Visual Studio 2010. 2005 used merge modules and the approach is a bit different in 2010 as I have understood it.
After some fiddling around I got it to compile and the installer to package the application. Everything seemed to work fine but then I notice that some reports against some databases takes a loooooong time to generate. I'm talking 15 minutes or something like that. And after a report that takes this long to generate is finally done any other report I try to generate after that comes out empty of data. I have to restart the application to get data in the reports again.
When looking at the program I have come to the conclusion that it's using the Crystal Reports Helper class from Code Project.
I have tried profiling the app and it seems like the thing that is taking so much time is within Crystal Reports itself and not some function within the current application.
Has anyone, who has updated from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2010 and been using the helper class, experienced any similar issues and have any pointers of what to try? Is there perhaps something in how the data is sent from the helper class that is not compatible with the new way Crystal Reports works with Visual Studio 2010?
Some reports work just fine.
Feels like I'm fumbling a bit in the dark.
To rule out incompatibility issues, the SAP specific thing installed are
Crystal Reports 10
SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .Net Framework 4 (32-bit)
SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .Net Framework 4 (64-bit)
SAP Crystal Reports version for Visual Studio 2010
I have installed Visual Studio 2010,it doesn't include crystal Reports,so i downloaded SAP Crystal Report externally from MSDN and installed SAP Crystal Reports
When i open Visual Studio 2010 i am unable to design existing .RPT files, but when i run an application existing Reports opens
so what can be reason that i cant design .rpt files?
You probably need to install Crystal Reports For Visual Studio 2010 on your developer machine as well as Runtime Engine.
There are actually two versions of Crystal Reports provided :
- Crystal Reports Redistribution Version.
- Crystal Reports For Visual Studio.
Be sure that you have downloaded the right one.
If the problem insists try to uninstall CR and clean registry and all stuff and then re-install again.
Hope it helps
I am using ASP.NET/C# in Visual Studio 2008.I was trying to use Crystal Reports in my project.When I add Crystal Report.I can see CrystalReport1.rpt in my project but when I click on it.
Here is the image of my problem.
Can anybody help me out with this.I am not able to do anything further.
Do I need to re-install Crystal Report?
Any Links to install it?
Thanks.
Looks like the .rpt file extension is not connected to the designer in VS. My guess is you need to re-install Crystal Reports.
You have to install/reinstall CrystalReports for Visual Studio
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio is the custom version of Crystal
Reports that is available as part of the default installation in most
versions of Microsoft Visual Studio

In Visual Studio click Help\About Visual Studio to find all installed components.
If it's not installed use original Visual Studio installer.
