Crystal Reports Control Updated

The Crystal Reports control has been updated with new functionality and certain bug fixes.

Migration effects

During migration, the ShowCrystalReport.aspx web page and the ShowCrystalReport.aspx.cs and .vb code-behind files are removed from your application.  They are no longer used.

What you should do

Pages to which you have added a Crystal Report ‘Show Report’ must be changed manually to use the new feature.

After migration, perform these steps to use the new Crystal Reports control:

Step 1:  Use the Application Explorer to open a page containing a Crystal Reports button.

Step 2:  In Design Mode, delete the existing Crystal Reports “Show Report” buttons from your application’s web pages.  These buttons may have various developer-selected names.

Step 3:  Add a new Crystal Report control onto your application’s web page (File, New, Panel...).

Step 4:  In Design Mode, select the new Crystal Reports control and open the Configuration Wizard (, Configure...).  Select the appropriate Crystal Report DLL and RPT files.

Step 5:  Rebuild your application.

Step 6:  Run the the application and click the newly added Crystal Reports button.

Step 7:  If you receive an error message saying parameter or database login information is missing, modify the button click function according to the comments in the function, e.g.:

DisplayReportAsPDF_${CrystalReportButton}

In the button click function, specify the parameters and database login information as necessary.
