Client DLLs to be used for XI vs 2020 server.

[okogan]

Hello Gurus,

I have a (VS2010) C#.Net project that contains the references to CrystalReportsXI (CrystalDecision.CrystalReports.TemplateEngine and few other standard DLLs that start with "CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer." - ClientDoc, CommonObjectModel, Controllers, DataDefModel, DataSetConversion, ObjectFactory and ReportDefModel). They all have the "Runtime Version" of v2.0.50727 and "Version" of 14.0.3500.0.

I'm tasked with upgrading the project/solution to use CrystalReports 2020, do I need to reference a special (newer?) set of client DLLs for this? If so, can these 2 sets (XI & 2020) co-exist in the same project? Also where I can download these DLLs (relevant for CR2020)?

Thank you.

See my Blog for upgrading:

And NO you can't have both on the same PC, CR's dll names don't change so you can't have side by side on the same PC.

Go here to read all about CR for VS and links to the references etc.
