I've a crystal report which is rendered by click of button on asp.net page.
The report looks 100% good on SIT environment. However, the same report has formatting issue on UAT_Pre_Prod environment. I've checked the fonts on this server which was missing Area Narrow which I installed. The report still looks all over the place.
Basically on UAT_Pre_Prod, the fonts are bold which it should not be, the text is cut-off.
I checked Crystal Report 2008 runtime environment and I also had a look at this thread but still doesn't work.
Strange Crystal Report formatting problem
Could someone please help.
For those who are facing this issue, the solution is to:
Install Font on Web Server.
Restart the web server (App Pool and Web Site restart did not work).
Hope it helps.

I have been using SSRS to write reports for a very long time, but needed to upgrade my environment so I installed VS2012. My previous version was 2008. I brought in published report which was working fine to make some visual improvements and this is my issue.
When I click report preview and click the Print Layout my report is rendered into 1/4 page. If I print a pdf from here, It does the same thing, and shows it is on a 11.33 x 14.67 page.
I have double checked the document parameters (Report, Body, etc.) and all are set to 8.5x11.
Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? Is it a setup thing in VS?
One of the web application projects in my visual studio solution has a blue exclamation mark icon on it and the tool tip shows The Web project <Project.Name.Here> has IIS configuration warnings
I can't see anything in the project Properties pages, or in the web.config file. It started yesterday, and I assumed restrating VS and reloading the project may get rid of the warning, but it has not.
What is this and how do I go about resolving this issue?
Google has not been helpful this morning!
Try right clicking the solution in the Solution Explorer, the option Resolve Errors should be available.
Selecting this should show you the message behind the icon you're seeing on the project. For me, this was:
ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered on the Web server. You need to manually configure your Web server for ASP.NET 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly.
If this is the message you're receiving, this MS blog post may help you fix it.
Update
Note that once you've selected this option, the IDE assumes you've resolved the errors and removes the icon and menu option (!). So make sure you read it or restart VS to see it again.
I have a VB6 app which connects to either a SQL Server or Oracle Database. It includes some Crystal Reports, made with an old version (CR 8.5).
I'm working on upgrading the Crystal viewer to CR 2008 (using Interop Forms Toolkit).
Everything is working fairly well, but I am seeing a few reports which are painfully slow to appear. Other reports are perfectly fine.
I would appreciate any tips for things to look at that would cause a crystal report to appear quickly in the CR 8.5 preview window, but slowly in the CR 2008 preview window.
The most recent Crystal reports version supported by VB6 is Crystal XI. I know that you can create a COM object in .NET and call it from VB6 , but this will not change the fact that Crystal 2008 is not supported. Sooner or later you will hit a report where the VB6 app will have issues, which you cannot resolve . To check if this is the case for the current reports create a temp .NET project and run one of them. If the report works fine obviously the issue is VB6. Of course there might be other reasons for the slow reports. Did you change the machine where you are running them ? If yes , do you have the same printers installed and the same drives (including mapped drives) on the new machine?
P.S. Actually to test the report in .NET you don't need to create a project. It will be easier if you download one the existing .NET Crystal viewers on the market. Usually they have trial mode , which will be enough for your test. Let me know if this will work better for you , I can post some links
Here's something that vastly sped up the processing (previewing or printing of the reports):
Open the report in the Crystal 2008 editor
Database menu, select "Verify Database"
Save
Doing that changed some fields from "PersistentMemoField" to "StringField", and removed some "DatabaseName" values. Anyway, I'm happy with the results.
I've recently updated a project's Crystal Reports documents to the latest version (CR2008), these are the regular reports built into Visual Studio 2010 after installing Crystal Reports free version.
Having updated the reports, they wouldn't ask for parameters within a Windows Forms application. I managed to solve this by simply adding the parameter to the report so it was displayed (I assume this somehow refreshed the fact that there was a parameter available!).
However, the viewer now asks for the parameter but appears to ignore it when the report actually loads.
Has anyone got any ideas? I don't really want to have to make a parameter GUI for every single report and then pass them all through!
Thanks in advance.
Replacing the viewer control with the updated one appears to have solved the problem, even though they were both reading from the same reference!
Im working on Visual Studio 2008 to develop a web application in asp.net.
if I add a crystal report file (.rpt) in my project, I see only hexadecimal code.
I obviously miss something, previously it worked in my system..recently i formatted my system, and installed vs2008, then the problem arises...im in need..
Please help me to find the solution.. thanks in advance
