Crystal reports with Visual Studio 2012

I'm using crystal reports for creating my reports. I'm using Visual Studio 2012. I use VS2010 to create the reports then I add them to the solution in VS2012. The problem is that I'm getting an exception bobj undefined when I run the report under VS2012. Is is related to the fact that the project is running under VS2012 or is it caused by another thing? Thanks :)

I'm guessing it is VS2012, based on this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/13720386/… – EvilBob22
CR SP5 that supports VS2012, Win8 and SQL 2012 fully released scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 – Bassam Gamal

No, it's not VS2012 problem.
Crystal reports runtime is installed but it's files are not reached by browser.
You installed your application in a website different from Default Website.. did you?
Look at the Solution at the end of this post.

Analyze the problem

It's possible to analyze the problem, and find a 403 (Forbidden) error

  • using client tools (debug window of browser)

GET http://someServer:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js 403 (Forbidden)
GET http://someServer:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css 403 (Forbidden)

  • or server tool (IIS log , on WIN2003 is placed in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC###\).

2011-03-28 13:00:49 W3SVC701536 95.228.38.41 GET /aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css - 20080 - 192.168.1.2 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+Trident/5.0) 403 6 64 Errore! 2011-03-28 13:00:49 W3SVC701536 95.228.38.41 GET /aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js - 20080 - 192.168.1.2 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+Trident/5.0) 403 6 64 Errore!

Cause the problem

  • In both cases i found that crv.js and style.css some files were not served;
  • these files are placed by CR installer in wwwroot\aspnet_client folder, but for some reasons they cannot be reached;
  • In my case the reason is that i create a different website (port 20080) and aspnet_client folder is not placed inside that website

I can see that you use different versions of software and different configurations, but i think you have the same problem.

Solution

The solution is to work on IIS this way:

  • Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.

or (this one is better)

  • Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot inside the new website
