Thanks for your references....i figured it out yesterday..but they were very helpful...

I have one more problem now the crystal report is running fine in my local system, but when i try to view in the website it shows me this error.

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' could not be loaded.


WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I found some solution for it on the web...could you please explain me the below solution if its the right one.  I Could not find the publish option what he was trying to mention in the solution.


To solve this problem you have to do the next few steeps

1-    Open your Solution File ( You Project on Visual Studio .NET 2005 ) .
2-    From The Solution Explorer chose "My Project" ( Directly under your
Program's name in the Visual Studio .NET 2005 Window) .
3-    When you chose "My Project" A new window will appears with the name
of your project in that window's title , and you will see on the left
side of that window A list contains
Application
Compile
Debug
References
Resources
Settings
Signing
Security
Publish
Code Analysis
4-    Chose "Publish" , and you will see 4 vertical command Buttons , chose
the second one ( "Prerequisites" Command Button ) .
5-    New window will appears when you chose "Prerequisites" , and form
that window chose "Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0" , make sure
the check box is checked ( the mark is right ) .
6-    In the same window you will find 3 vertical Radio Buttons , chose the
second one ( The one with this name "Download Prerequisites from the
same location as my application" ) , and then press ok to close the
window and .
7-    Now you will find your self back again to Publish Window ,  so press
the "Publish Now" Command , and A new folder will created ( The folder's
name will be "Publish" and it will be automatically opened ) , and if it
didnt open you will find it under your solution's Folder .
8-    When the folder is opened , you will find A Folder Named
"Crystalreports" ,Open it and you will find An Executable File Named "
CRRedist2005_x86 " Or "CRRedist2005_x64" , whatever , Start Install this
file on your Client's PC before Starting you application on it , and
after the installation of " CRRedist2005_x86 " is Completed , Run you
Application , and the problem will disappear :)

I read the article and i did that but its still throwing me the same error.

What i did was i deleted all my previous crystal report references, copied new dll from c:\programfiles\bussinessobject\managed folder and pasted them in my project bin folder and from there i added the new crystalreport.dll references. next i build my application and copied all the files to the server.

If this procedure is correct ....i m still getting the same problem.  

Is what i am doing right? If yes could you please suggest me where else i m going wrong. this is exaclty what i am getting

You can not just copy Crystal Reports assemblies. Crystal Reports does a lot of stuff when installing including modifying the registry.

Deploying crystal reports (especially the standalone version), is a great pain. Make sure that you deploy the correct version of the CR runtime on the target computers.
