Crystal Report 2008 (Salesforce.com data)

Former Member
0 Kudos

I am currently running crystal report XI R2 connected to salesforce.com data. I tried to add the crystal report to my C# .net page, but I got an error "failed to load database crdb_sforce.dll" error. I am not sure why.

My question is if I upgraded my crystal report to Crystal report 2008 or even 2010 since it already comes with the salesforce.com driver. Am I able to add the crystal report to Visual Studio 2008 or even 2010 so I can deploy the report to my users through the .net page.

any comments will be appreciated.

crystalreports.com costs like $300 per month

crystal reports upgrade is around $500 one time

Moved to .NET SDK forum.

There is a [document on how to get your app|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/e067bec2-b3ac-2b10-c4b1-ef3e2c6ce0ba&overridelayout=true] connected to Salesforce.com. You can download the Doc I have on how to create a WSDL to connect.

Here is part of it:

This document describes the operations a partner application may request from CRDC.

Using Business Objects Web Services

To access the Business Objects Partner WS API, you will need to obtain the Partner Web service WSDL file. The WSDL file defines the Web service requests that CRDC supports. Developers should note that they must use a secure transport layer (Web services using HTTPS as CRDC only accepts HTTPS connections.

Overview for Using Business Objects Web Services

The process for adding Business Objects Partner Web services to an application includes the following steps:

1. Download the Business Objects Partner WS API WSDL package (https://na.crystalreports.com/wsdl/CRService.wsdl)

2. Generate client stubs from the WSDL in your development environment

3. Use CRDC functions in your application

4. Test

5. Deploy

It is easiest to use Web services libraries such as Axis2 (for Java) or (WSE 3.0) for .NET 2.0. These libraries provide a WSDL utility for generating the client stubs in your development environment.

CRDC and the Partner API use cookies to track the clientu2019s session. Developers and users must ensure that their Web service client code is returning cookies back to CRDC or they will only be able to login to the server.

I'll edit this post once I find it.

Thank you
