Crystal Reports Version Compatibility

[15_ucs_kpk]

Hey there!

I have an old .NET project.

Built on: .NET FX 2.0, Visual Studio 2005. It was using Crystal Reports of that contemporary time.

I need to migrate it to any current .NET FX version (i.e., .NET FX 3.5 or 4.x). I currently use Visual Studio 2022 (Main) and 2019 (In some cases).

So,

• #Q1: For Knowledge!

Which various versions of Crystal Reports are supported in various .NET Frameworks and Visual Studio?

• #Q2: My Project:

Since I'm planning on migrating to 3.5 or 4.x using VS 2019/2022, which version of Crystal Reports should I look for? Can I get it for free?

• #Q3: In any case, if I want to migrate to .NET Core, is crystal reports still supported? If yes, Give details.

1. Any version of Crystal Reports from 9 forward should work. The reports that you have should work in the latest version of the SDK.

2. The latest version is SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio SP32 which is a free download. You can get it from here: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads. The wiki also has links to sample code, license information, and more. You'll download a .exe for integration into VS - 64-bit for VS 2022, 32-bit for VS 2019. Right-click on the .exe and select "Run as Administrator" to get it to install correctly. When you download this .exe, you'll also want to download a corresponding runtime install to use when deploying your application (do NOT install on the computer(s) with VS!)

3. No, it does not work with VS Code.
