Cant Use VS 2005 Crystal Reports in VS 2008?
I am converting a VB.Net application written in VS 2005 to run in C# using VS 2008. I have both VS 2005 and VS 2008 installed on my XP Pro machine. I have my VS 2008 options set to target the .Net 3.5 framework. I have already installed both the VS service pack 1 and the service pack for Crystal Reports Basic 2008.
The existing application includes about 50 reports that were created in VS 2005. When I run the old app in VS 2005 debug, everything works fine. The reports are using xsd data sources and runtime parameters to pull data from SQL server. They do exactly what they are supposed to do when I run the app in VS 2005 VB.
When I run in C# VS 2008 all I get is a C++ memory exception. If I try to view or watch the exception objects, all I get is a long list of "cannot interpret because a native frame is on top of the stack" or something like that. This exception comes up before the report ever tries to query any data. If I try to set a variable to the report tables, I get an error because there are no tables, no database, nothing. I only get that message about the native frame on top of the stack.
The VS 2008 code is running against a new server, but even if I use the old connection strings and the old server and the old database, the reports still will not run in VS 2008. The VS 2005 code and reports all runs against the old server and old database.
Some of the reports will display data correctly in design mode preview, while others display some default stuff like colors names and data types. Why do they display correct data in design mode, but then wont work in runtime? Is this a compatibility issue? A framework version issue? Am I going to have to recreate these reports from scratch using the VS 2008 designer? Or is there a way to "import" them and "upgrade" them using the existing reports created in VS 2005?

The exact runtime error is:
First-chance exception at 0x7c812aeb (kernel32.dll) in UHHM.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: _com_error at memory location 0x0012d5f4..
While in break mode, when I mouse over the report object I created, every property, memeber, etc of the report object says this:
"Cannot evaluate expression because a native frame is on top of the call stack."
It's as if the code does not know the report exists. If I run and break in VS2005, then I can mouse over the report object and I can see the default table, the names and values of the parameters, the names of the report fields, etc.....

I just encountered this error while trying to run a simple Crystal Report page in VS 2005. The page was created by another programmer using VS 2005, and it runs just fine on his machine. (He does not have VS 2005 and VS 2008 installed on the same machine.)
"Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project and try again."
Could all of my problems stem from having both versions of VS on one machine?

I have now uninstalled VS 2005, and re-installed VS 2008, but I still get the same errors. The same code same reports runs fine on the other programmer's machine. The only difference is he has never had both versions of VS installed on his machine, he only installed VS 2008 on his.
This code instantiates the report object:
ReportDocument Reportname = new ReportDocument();
Reportname = new TransactionList();
MessageBox.Show(Reportname
and I get the C++ error (given above) on the message box line, as if the report does not actually exist.
The class code associated with the report is:

After stopping at a break point, and mousing over the object to read the properties, I concluded that the code is not actually creating a report because it cannot find the rpt file. The list of properties on mouseover said something like "file not found" or path not found, etc....
So I changed the path in the report's cs class file code and hard coded it to the C: drive path to the rpt file on my local hard drive. When I run it now I get this error:
"A first chance exception of type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalR
Additional information: Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."
Isn't this implying that the project does not know where the rpt file is?? This is an rpt file that I created from scratch in the VS Crystal Designer in the IDE.

Thanks, that's an interesting read. The behaviour I am getting is similar, except that my code will never continue. I get 2 or 3 messages saying "Windows cannot continue from this exception".
I will try changing the debug settings on Monday when I can get back to the office. This may explain why my code runs fine on the other programmer's machine, because his "Exceptions" settings are different than mine. Also why it runs ok in VS 2005, because I had default "Exceptions" settings in VS 2005. (but I have uninstalled 2005 now)
Good lead, I will definitely check into this. Thanks!

I tried changing the debug settings as suggested in the article, but I still get this error. Doesn't matter if I'm in debug mode or if I compile and run the executable, same error pops up.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalRe
The rpt file is located exactly where the code says it should be, but I have no idea how to "fix" this manifest, which only has about 10 or 12 lines of xml in it. Sorry, I'm new at this stuff.

Running on my own machine, entirely in development at this point. The only thing that is not on my machine is the SQL (test) database.
I don't know enough C# to really help

It's been suggested that the way the cs wrapper class is created by VS 2008 is quite different than the wrapper class created by VS2003 or 2005. Tech support was able to demonstrate that the Crystal dll's are workign correctly, and the references in my project are correct. They believe this error/s is caused by the way I am instantiating the report by invoking the wrapper class constructor. The cs wrapper classes I ahve were generated in VS 2005 (possibly in VS 2003) and all I did was run the code thru a VB-to-C# converter and add them to my VS 2008 project. That might explain why the manifest does not recognize the file.
I noticed that one of my reports started working correctly after I accidentally deleted it and had to recreate it from scratch, thereby causing VS 2008 to generate a new wrapper class.
I'm wondering if there is a way to manually remove the existing wrapper class for the report and force VS to generate a new one, without having to recreate all of the reports from scratch?

Thanks for your time, you helped point me to an overall solution.
I noticed that after I edit the code of the .cs file and remove the following lines, it works. The problem is, the lines keep coming back on subsequent edits and I have to keep removing the lines over and over again every time I make changes to the report:
public override bool NewGenerator {
get {
return true;
}
set {
// Do nothing
}
}
public override string FullResourceName {
get {
return "NuclearCardiologyReports.
}
set {
// Do nothing
}
}
Crystal Reports needs a fix. I have so many reports that it would be costly to redo them.

}
}

The errors happen as soon as the ReportDocument object is set to a new instance of the report class. For example, I have MyReport.rpt and MyReport.cs files included in the project. I do something like this:
ReportDocument crMyReport = new ReportDocument();
crMyReport = MyReport();
(I dont have the exact code here in front of me right now, sorry)
The constructor in MyReport.cs is empty. Those two lines work fine, but then the next line I try setting MyTables = crMyReport.Tables and that's when the exceptions start. It's as if the report class never gets instantiated properly, there is no default table or database or parameters or anything in the report object. When I mouse over it, every property of the report object has that line about "Cannot interpret because a native frame is on top of the stack."
Is there something about using xsd files I am missing? I've never used them before, but the guy who wrote the original code and reports using VB and VS 2005 has a data source with xsd and xss files for each report. I assume the reports work in the designer because they are not using the C# code to run. I am not glued to the xml data source thing either. I can change the database methods if necessary, but I dont think that's the problem. I dont think the report object is ever getting to the point where it talks to the SQL server. The exceptions come up before that ever happens.
I have the option to try installing the full version of Crystal Reports XI. I also have thought about transferring the new C# code back to VS 2005 just to see if it runs correctly there, since our main goal is to switch over to C#, not necessarily to be using VS 2008. If I knew how to use SQL Reporting Services I would be tempted to abandon Crystal.
