Unable to find the report in the manifest resources

Former Member · ‎03-06-2007

Hi!I have problem using Crystal Report documents created in Visual Studio 2005 using the build-in version of Crystal Reports. If I create a project from scratch with one report and then some code to initialize and export the report to disk I get the following error message:"Unhandled Exception: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."I have tried using both the "Embedded resource" and the "Content" options during build, but with no luck at all. When using the Content option I explicitly load the rpt-file but no luck at all. Do anyone have a clue to what the problem is? I have absolutely no idea. The things worked in Visual Studio 2003 but not in 2005. What is the manifest resource?Would really appreciate some help, thanks in advance!My source code is below.Best regards Larsclass Program { public static TableLogOnInfo CreateConnectionInfo(string userID, string password, string serverName, string databaseName) { TableLogOnInfo conInfo = new TableLogOnInfo(); conInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = userID; conInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = password; conInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = serverName; conInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = databaseName; return conInfo; } public static ReportClass CreatePersonalWillReport(TableLogOnInfo conInfo, string personID) { ReportClass doc = new ReportClass(); doc.Load(@"C:\Utveckling\reports\main\ClassLibrary1\bin\Debug\CrystalReport1.rpt"); List<ReportParameter> parameters = new List<ReportParameter>(); parameters.Add(new ReportParameter("@personID", personID)); return ApplyReportParameters(doc, parameters, conInfo); }   public static void ExportReportToDisk(string fileName, ReportClass report, ExportFormatType formatType) { report.ExportToDisk(formatType, fileName); } protected static ReportClass ApplyReportParameters(ReportClass report, List<ReportParameter> paramList, TableLogOnInfo conInfo) { foreach (Table t in report.Database.Tables) { t.ApplyLogOnInfo(conInfo); } foreach (Section s in report.ReportDefinition.Sections) { foreach (ReportObject ro in s.ReportObjects) { if (ro.Kind == CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject) { SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro; ReportDocument doc = sro.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName); foreach (Table t in doc.Database.Tables) { t.ApplyLogOnInfo(conInfo); } } } } foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition paramField in report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields) { foreach (ReportParameter rp in paramList) { if (paramField.Name == rp.Name) { ParameterValues pv = paramField.CurrentValues; string s = (string)rp.Value.Value; ParameterDiscreteValue pdv = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); pdv.Value = s; pv.Add(pdv); paramField.ApplyCurrentValues(pv); } } } return report; }  static void Main(string[] args) { TableLogOnInfo conInfo = CreateConnectionInfo("username", "password", "server", "database"); ReportClass report = CreatePersonalWillReport(conInfo, "-1291000956"); ExportReportToDisk("C:\temp\report.pdf", report, ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat); }/// <summary>/// Helper class that contains parameter key/value pairs./// </summary>protected class ReportParameter {/// <summary>/// The parameter name./// </summary>private string name = null;/// <summary>/// The parameter value./// </summary>private ParameterDiscreteValue value = new ParameterDiscreteValue();/// <summary>/// The parameter name./// </summary>public string Name {<font

Lars,

Â Have you read the CRnet_deployment.doc if not it may help fix your problem (It didnt mine but hey you may be lucky) See http://support.businessobjects.com/communitycs/technicalpapers/crnet_deployment.pdf

I have a similar issue but in 2003.net using the bundled CR package. I'm trying to use CR in a Web Service called from a Compact Framework device. I've confirmed I'm using the correct Merge Modules & my Build Actions are all set as stated in the CR Application Deployment document but it still spits out Unable to find the report in the manifest resources

...

I've looked extensively on the net and while others have had this problem the only advice I've seen revolves around embedded build actions and using the correct merge modules. There must be something else causing this problem and some one who has found a way round it?!?

If your that someone please take 5 minutes out and help a couple of guys in distress?

Thanks in advance,

Ian
