Is it a requirement to have Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package run on the web server in order to have users view asp.net pages (built with VS2010 SP1) that reference Microsoft ReportViewer controls?
I was hoping that if I referenced the dlls in the web project listed in this MS article, that I would avoid having to run the redistributable package on the server.
No, it is not necessary to have the redistributable installed on the web server. Just set the copy local property for the report viewer dll references to true.
See the following article. It discusses deploying to an Azure environment, but the same idea holds for deploying to a web server without the redistributable package.

It is always better to install redistributable package on web server as you are sure to have included all of the file related to report viewers.
As you are using report viewer 2010 to show ssrs report so, you should include following dlls in GAC :
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel
For furthur information ,how to use report viewer 2010 and changes need to done in web.config for using report viewer 2010 ,see following post:http://ivarunsingh.blogspot.com/2011/12/report-viewer-2010.html

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.
Can you please share me, where can i download crystal report decision redistributable package.

i developed an asp.net application in which i used crystal report (for visual studio 2010). I have a big problem that is when i run my application on local server, it works fine but when i deploy it on remote server, crystal report is not displaying. can any one help me.
Thanks.
You have to make sure that an appropriate version of crystal report run-time is installed on deployment (remote) server or not.
make sure temp directory of windows have appropriate permissions to execute the report. In my case I gave full permission to everyone on c:\windows\temp directory.

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.
