    Hi Master,

    I'm not sure I understand by what you mean by the value of the group sections. Do you mean the data in there, or the value of the group header Try to clarify this and I'll see what I can do

    I just installed the Crystal Reports Developer and cannot find the Crystal Report Viewer control in the Visual Basic 2005 Express Toolbox.

    I did look in the Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed\dotnet2 and found the CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll but its labled 11.5.9700.313

    Can you help I have a project due soon!

    Thank You,

    Hi,

    Two things may be causing this issue. First, you need to have Crystal Reports XI release 2 developer edition. Secondly, as you are using the express edition when installing Crystal it may not pick this up and may not install all the files correctly. To check if they did, look in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed\net2 directory, or something close to the like for files CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, CrystalDecisions.Shared, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, CrystalDecisions.Web, CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms. They should all be of file version 11.5.3700.0

    I think you must register your crystal reports's dll to you global assembly cache.or you can use the browse method in the add reference section.then point it to your crystal reports' dll

    I am not getting the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed\net2 directory in my instalation od CR Xi R2.

    What should I do to solve this issue

    hi,...i am using VB 2005 express and CR XI R2. firstly i install VB 2005 then follow by CR XI R2. but i couldnt found the crviewer from the toolbox. i understand that i can manually add it from the "chooses item" -> "COM Component", but i thought the CR XI R2 should integrated with VB2005 and the crviewer should as a part of the .net framework component.

    I came across some sample from business object, i found those sample code add the viewer which is CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer. when i add the viewer as a classic COM, the viewer in the form will be AxCrystalActiveXReportViewerLib11_5.AxCrystalActiveXReportViewer. And many artices mention the word "smart task", i just cannt found this thing.

    Thanks to whom may concern.

    Thanks, I went to Tools->Choose Toolbox Items and clicked the COM Components tab and found all the CR tools for the toolbox.
