CrystalReportViewer not displaying in ASP.NET webform, (v13.0.9 & VS2013)

[Former Member]

I previously had Crystal Reports 2011 and Crystal Reports v13.0.2 installed on my PC.

I then installed Visual Studio 2013, uninstalled Crystal Reports v13.0.2 and installed Crystal Reports v13.0.9.

Inside the Visual Studio environment I can see the Crystal Reports template and I can create and edit new reports from within the environment.

I have created a web page and placed a CrystalReportViewer control on the .aspx page and used the CrystalReportViewer designer to select the ReportSource and I can see the report appear in design view, however when I run the webpage neither the report or even the CrystalReportViewer control is displayed.

At the very least I would expect to see a blank CrystalReportViewer frame in the page but I'm not even seeing that.

When I check the project references I can see:

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

CrystalDecisions.Shared

CrystalDecisions.Web

all have version as 13.0.2000.0

Also when I check the toolbox, I can see that the CrystalReportViewer component has version 13.0.2000.0

Is this related to why I'm not seeing the CrystalReportViewer control at runtime?

Is your application currently hosted on IIS express (inbult server in VS 2013 IDE)?

If so, copy the CRviewers folder in the IIS express root directory.

To find this, I would run process monitor and check where the application is looking for viewer files.

Search the procmon log for 'crv.js' or 'crystalreportviewers'.

Bhushan,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes the application is hosed on IIS express when I'm running in the VS 2013 IDE.

Which CRviewers folder are you referring to?

Do you mean e.g. the Crystal Reorts for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\ directory which contains the CrystalDecision dlls?

Actually when I check the IIS express root directory I can see that there is a CrystalReportViewers13 directory already there

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13

Do you have any other ideas what the issue may be?
