Step 1: Create a new solution

1. Launch Visual Studio 2008.

2. Select FileàNew Web Site from the menu.

3. Choose ASP.NET from the list of templates. You can select File or HTTP from the Location drop down list. For this sample I'll use File.

4. Set the Web Site Name to AdventureWorksPartsViewer. The path should be "..\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\AdventureWorksPartsViewer"

5. Select Visual C# from the Language drop down list and then click OK.

Visual Studio will create a new web site and add a Default.aspx page and web.config file. Now you need to add a Crystal Report file to your site.

Title: When must a company buy a license from SAP ?

Hi

If a company wants to make a commercial web-site where the CrystalReportViewer in the web-site shows reports to the customers, must the company then buy a licence and if yes what kind of license? (Please give a link).

Example:
Let us for example assume that the commercial website is made like the example in this article ("Using Crystal Reports and ASP.NET to Create Drill through Reports and Graphs"). That is an ASP.NET (C#) application that shows results to the customers with CrystalReportViewer and the ASP.NET application runs on the company's server. The company's customers pay to access and see the results on the web-site (That is how the company earn money!).

The sample was written in Visual Studio 2008 using Crystal Reports for .NET. This is the free version of Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio.

Title: An errror can occour in Visual Studioe 2010

When I tryed to make the example in this article in Visual Studio 2010 i got an error when running the application (not when compiling):

Parser Error Message: The base class includes the field 'CrystalReportPartsViewer1', but its type (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportPartsViewer) is not compatible with the type of control (CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportPartsViewer).

I solved the error by replacing the autogenerated line in Default.aspx (when adding a CrystalReportPartsViewer):

<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" tagprefix="CR" %>

With this line:

<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" tagprefix="CR" %>

So the version number that Visual Studio 2010 inserts when adding a CrystalReportPartsViewer is wrong. In my case it should be: 13.0.2000.0

I hope this can help others...

It is a good article. Thanks.

I have a Crystal report it has dynmic information on page header when I export to excel,

only first page header shows in excel. I am using asp.net visual studio 2008 sp1.

if I export it to others format like pdf, word etc... its working fine

lets assume

page header contanis

department name = 'Operations'
date = 16-06-2010

employee name code
xyz 1
eee 2
cxy 3

here cxy is related to department 'accounts'

if we see this data in pdf or word

it will show correctly

department name = 'Operations'
date = 16-06-2010

employee name code
xyz 1
eee 2

department name = 'Accounts'
date = 16-06-2010

employee name code
