Exporting Crystal Report Definition Programatically
I am attempting to Export the definition of a Crystal Report using VB.net and Visual Studio. The API offers several export format types (PDF, Rich Text, Excel, etc.), but none to export the report definition. Is this something that simply cannot be done? Or am I missing something?

I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 Professional with VS 2005
Did you install the option. It is not installed by default or with the Typical install

You may also have to use the CR XI dlls in the application rather than the .Net versions.

Can you point me in the direction of some documentation on how to do that? Or is that handled by the integration between CR Developer and Visual Studio?

Understood. I think I am going to take a different approach here though. I am going to take advantage of the API to get the report definition information out myself. It will allow more flexibility than trying to dump the definition into a text file, then extract information from there.
mlmcc, thank you for your efforts.
