Hello,

There is no ActiveX Viewer control available for the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. The Crystal Reports .NET SDK uses the Windows form viewer for Windows application, and the web form viewer for Web applications.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any way i can display my crystal report as an activeX control.

I have seen an apps (i dont remember in which technology it was) ...that apps used to display Crystal report ... and if your browser doesnt have Crystal Report ActiveX viewer then it downloads as a plugin ..... and then it display the report as an activeX control.

When we right click on that report there i cant find "view source"

So this is what i want to Achieve using VS2005- ASP.NET --- Crystal Report 2008

Please see if there is any way i can achieve this.

Thanks

Regards

Hello,

The COM ActiveX viewer that was available with the RDC was retired with the release of CR2008. It does not exist anymore.

The Crystal Reports .NET SDK has never supported using the ActiveX viewer in a web application.

While there is an ActiveX viewer in the BusinessObjects Enterprise product it can not be integrated directly into a .NET application. It can be used with the OpenDocument functionality that is part of the Enterprise product.

Hello,

Please feel free to review the sticky posts at the top of this forum. Specifically the "[Where to find Crystal Reports .NET SDK resources|;" post.

This will help you get started in learning how to use the SDK so that you can create your Crystal Reports .NET application.

Once you've reviewed all this information and you've begun developing your application if you run into specific issues you can start separate threads for each question you might have.
