I am using VS2008 and I am building an Web Application with crystal report. As we know along with VS2008 we are provided crystal report basic version that is 10.5.0.0 with Crystal Report Runtime
version 10.5.0.0 .
When i try to deploy my website on server it gives me an error "Crystal Report not supported". And i got a reply from support that their server support Crystal Report Version 12.3.3.812 which is CR VS2008 SP3.
And when i downloaded the version from SAP website, I am not able to upgrade my CR Version please let me know how to upgrade.
You need to upgrade your crystal reports version. You can download from
SAP Official Wiki Site or Install Crystal reports developer version for Visual Studio
To upgrade your machine you simply install the newer version of Crystal Reports on it.
To upgrade your project you'll need to remove the reference to the older bundled, free copy of Crystal Reports and add the newer 12.x references you should now see. (You'll see them only if you've successfully installed the newer Crystal Reports on this computer.)

I am very new to ASP.NET and this is my very first project. I am trying to run a already developed project which uses Crystal reports 13. I downloaded crystal reports 13 but when i try to run the application it fails.
Error is as follows:
Please help me!
You need to make sure you have installed the latest runtime for your visual studio version.
You can do so from here: crystal runtimes for visual studio
For VS 2017, you will need to have a more recent version of the Crystal SDK.

Seems you need Support Pack 21 and higher. Try link below and see if it helps.

I have deployed my asp.net project through IIS on client machine. I have installed crystal report runtime to execute my project successfully. But I can't edit any report. When I tried to install crystal report developer version it's asking for visual studio.
What edition I need to edit crystal report on client machine ? Please help.
I am using visual studio 2010
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 no longer includes Crystal Reports in the bundle.
In Visual Studio 2010, to create a Crystal Reports project or Web site or to import existing projects or Web sites that were created by using older versions of Visual Studio or Crystal Reports, you must first install a version of Crystal Reports that is compatible with Visual Studio 2010.
As per my experience,
Visual Studio 2010 should be installed first.
You would need CRforVS_13_0.exe (and not msi) version for Visual Studio 2010.
(Also check prior 32/64 bit version too)
And then you can edit the report from your project.
See: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads
It provides links and instructions for downloading what you need.
Recently I made reports for my ASP.net website using (crystal reports 13.0) it was working well on my local server,but I found that my own web server just supports crystal report (10.5).So how can i convert that reports to 10.5? Is it possible without creating new ones using (10.5).
Upgrading the report to a newer version is not a big deal.
Downgrading is always a problem as there may be the possibility of loss of features added to the newer version.
We have Crystal Reports running and it is tied into our VS2010 installation. I have not looked at the instance in a long time because we had a devoted Crystal developer on board, however he is gone now and I need to make a few changes. When I try to open up the .rpt file in VS2010 all I get is garbage, not the Crystal Report with the GUI. What do I need to configure/install to get to see this inside VS2010?
EDIT: When I go to my .rpt file to edit it with Crystal Reports, I get a white screen filled with what appears to be random HEX character sets and periods. I have downloaded the CR for Visual Studio, however it still happens, is there an extension I need to include somewhere? I have my target framework as 4.0 and I have the CrystalDecisions assemblies loaded in my web.config.
Here is the SAP link for VS 2010...

I also had this problem after installing "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" recently - over two years later.
I specifically installed Support Pack 8 on 64-bit Windows 7 Pro and found that the fix for me was to:
(1) Run the install executable rather than an MSI per SAP's note that this is critical to full integration with Visual Studio (all the way back to the RTM release):
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012, 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.
(2) Run it with Visual Studio closed.
(3) Run it as Administrator.
Even doing (1) and (2) in the list above without (3) yielded an error at the end of installation (even though the account I used was a member of the local Administrators group). Unfortunately I (uncharacteristically) did not note the error and just continued. :P
Bottom line, even though "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" showed in Windows' Programs and Features control panel and I could add CR items to and reference CR assemblies in Visual Studio projects afterward, hex-like garbage rather than the expected report designer greeted me when I opened CR .rpt files in Visual Studio - just like the OP described.
So I closed Visual Studio and uninstalled "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" through Windows' Programs and Features control panel.
Further doing (3) in the list above when I ran the installer executable again (i.e. running it as Administrator), I encountered no errors; and afterward the expected report designer rather than hex-like garbage greeted me when I opened CR .rpt files in Visual Studio: problem solved.
I have created ASP.net Web application which uses Crystal Report to show reports. Now i want to publish this project to server. I have installed full version of Crystal Reports 2008 on server. It works and showing up reports.
How can be made Crystal Reports to run on server without installing whole version?
Is there any standalone host for it or runtime which can handle crystal reports templates?
Thanks
Crystal Reports has special runtime packages for this usage.
