I have some approach to share. I developed the simple CR wrapper that can help to render Crystal Reports. Use this code as is. Please feel free to modify, extend any part of the code.

And the sample how to utilize the wrapper using CR wrapper class that enter code here
implements IDisposable interface. Set report source in Page_Init and report parameters in Page_Load events and dispose report document in Page_Unload event.
The second method uses static class and render the report at ones, disposing report document at the end. The report source should be saved into session variable. Please be aware that second method is not really suitable in high traffic web application, because using of the static class. The collision will occur if two users would run any reports at the same time.
