The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Slow opening of Crystal Reports in .NET Run time

Asked by suresh_bansal in Crystal Reports Software, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Hi all

We have been using Crystal Reports for about  8 years from now. We designed all the the reports in Crystal Reports Ver 8.0

We have our applications running in VB6 . Same crystal reports get opened very fast almost instantly. Crystyal Reports (as comes with Older Visual Studio for VB6) staled along with VB Setup installation. In VB6 application we used to add reference of Crystal Report engine - and gets embedded in the VB6 installation.

Same application we ported it to .NET and we run the Crystal Reports .NET Run time over the client nodes. We use CRRedist2005_x86.msi file (about 16736 kb dt. 10/24/2007) for the Crystal Reports .NET run time installation for our Crystal Reports in VB.net windows application. Crystal Reports are still old which were designed in Crystal Reports 8.0 We purposely dont' shift to later version for the sake of compatibiity.

We find very slow response for opening of the Crystal Report in VB.NET application for the 1st time. It takes approx 20 secs to 40 secs many times for even single page report which would open in just 1 second in Vb6 windows application.. Once it opens up, later the same report would open up almost instanly. This happens with almost majority of the reports. For the 1st time it would take time and in the 2nd time onwards it would open up instantly. If we exit from the system ->Go to VB.Net application again (without shut down) we will get the same irritating behaviour again. This we have tested on many client nodes with very good configuration say 1GB RAM, Pentium Dual Core System.

We think this may be bug in the Crystal Reports .NET Runtime installation file as the same reports with the same logic opens in VB6 application almost instanly each time and every time.

This behaviour is very different in VB.Net application for opening of the Crystal Report.

Can you suggest some remedy for the irritating opening of crystal report (designed in ver 8.0) - opening in VB.net windows application.
