Crystal Reports in a Custom .NET 2.0 App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hi to all.

I would like to install a .NET 2.0 application on the same machine as Dynamics SL 7.

The application contains an output module that utilizes the Crystal Reports objects for .NET (e.g. CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, etc.).

My preference would be to use the same exact version of Crystal Reports as Dynamics SL7.

So, I added the Crystal Reports 10 objects to the app, and deployed the .EXE to the machine that has Dynamics SL7, but when I try to run the report, I get: "Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version 10....etc..., Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies.  The system cannot find the file specified."

Does anyone know how to add a reference to the version of Crystal Reports that comes with Dynamics SL7, and/or whether the .NET DLLs are even included and installed when Dynamics SL7 is installed?

Alternately, my question is: Does anyone know whether it would cause any problems to install the Crystal Reports 11.5 distribution files on a Dynamics SL7 machine - as in would this interfere in any way with the Crystal Reports for Dynamics SL7?

 Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi Bob. I don't have a specific answer, but in case nobody else has a definite response, I was wondering if you have a test computer on which you can install the configuration you wish to test?

    If no one else has tried this, then I will see if I can't set up a machine and do the testing myself.

    It will not be in December, but maybe some time early next year.

     Thanks!
