[Crystal Report 13] on Visual Studio 2013

[Former Member]

Dear friends, first sorry for my English skill.

I am a Student and my teacher required Crystal Report for final Graduated Project; however I do not know how to work with. Try a lot and have lots trouble follow it:

My system:

Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 - project run on .NET 4.5

Crystal Report 13 version 11 (runtime x64) - is support VS2013, right?!

OS: Windows 8.1 Update 2

Database: SQL Server 2014

1. CSC : warning CS1762: A reference was created to embedded interop assembly 'c:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.dll' because of an indirect reference to that assembly created by assembly 'c:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'. Consider changing the 'Embed Interop Types' property on either assembly.

2. Bobj is undefined

With first warning I cannot deal with it, search and try, still not work; I dont know but maybe is just a warning not affect to my project. But the second one, I find that many people have the same problem, try to fix like anyone (Change ResourceUri, move crystalreportviewers13 to project folder, add reference...) but the error still there; I do not know what to do next, Please help!

I just create CrystalReport file and in WebForm, add CrystalReportViewer and CrystalReportSource it is correct?! or I have to work more with WebForm file

Use below code in your web.config to force the application to look for CR viewer files in its own folder:

<configSections>

    <sectionGroup name="businessObjects">

      <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">

        <section name="rptBuildProvider" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.RptBuildProviderHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null" />

           <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />

      </sectionGroup>

    </sectionGroup>

      </configSections>

<businessObjects>

      <crystalReports>

        <rptBuildProvider>

          <add embedRptInResource="true" />

        </rptBuildProvider>

        <crystalReportViewer>

              <add key="ResourceUri" value="~/crystalreportviewers13" />

      </crystalReportViewer>

      </crystalReports>

    </businessObjects>

There are other reasons for the error. See the blog How do I resolve  “'bobj' is undefined” issue?

And there is more. Enter the search string 'crystal net bobj undefined' in the search box in the top right corner.
