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.

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.
I'm developing a website for a company which will be used by both internal users and public users (outside company domain). The website will be using crystal reports for reporting.
I have downloaded "SAP Crystal Reports for VS" from http://www.crystalreports.com/crvs/confirm/ but I am not sure what licencing or pricing is required (in context of SAP Crystal Reports).
I have also read out the documents and it's saying that developer version is free, but in the context of above scenario a web site which will be accessed by unlimited users I'm still confused whether the Dev version will be OK or not?
Is there any SAP CR Enterprise version for VS also?
Crystal reporting in ASP.net is free for the majority of applications. To design reports, that is create the rpt files may require a licensed copy of Crystal Reports. According to their website at the time of this post, the 2016 version starts at £257.
You can design most reports in the Visual Studio add in, but this designer is limited, and are not intended for use by customers, who are unlikely to have Visual Studio. For example, using images with dynamic formula based URLs is only supported in the full Crystal reports designer and not in the Visual Studio version.
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 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.

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.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg430128.aspx
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
