Crystal Reports intergration into VisualStudio 2010

[Former Member]

I've got CR 2008 and use it up to now with VS 2005.

OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit.

Next time I will change to VS 2010 and WPF.

Which ist the correct installation package to download?

Look here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet

Install VS 2010 and then install the Complete Package. You can then start using version 13 assemblies. Other files there are for distribution packages...

Thank you

Hi Don,

thanks.

Yesterday I've tried CRforVS_13_0.exe and did get the CR Controls in WinForms but not in WPF.

Today I'll try this one (CRforVS_13_0_1.exe).

To use the WPF viewer you have to create a WPF application.

Hi Don.

I created a WPF application to check it out ... of course I did.

But I only find the Document Viewer which has been there before I installed the CRforVS_13_0_1.exe

And no CR WPF Viewer anywhere ...

On the other hand: the Tools for the Windows Forms have been installed as expected.

Any suggestion what to do?

Create my WPF application without printing capabilities and establish a printing utility sideways based on WinForms?

Kind regards

Hans-Christian

The WPF viewer isn't in the Toolbox by default. You need to add it manually by right clicking on your Toolbox and selecting Choose items, then find the CrystalReportsViewer under the WPF Components tab.

Aha.

One must know this.

Davis: thanks a lot.
