web config for crystal reports for .net 2.0

if using vs2005/2008 just drag a crystal report viewer or somthing onto the form and it will configure the web.config for you. there is in fact a whole bunch of entries that need to be made in web.config. easier if you let the IDE do it for you

I agree with th eabove.

Who told you to add that to the web config?

I am basing my question on the following information

In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 and later, the ActiveX print control is not installed on the local machine. Instead, it must be accessed as a .cab file from an external URL. The PrintControl.cab file can be downloaded from the Business Objects tech support Web Site, at which point you can place the cab file in a web server virtual directory for URL access. To make the cab file visible to your Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Web Site, add the following xml to your Web Site's web.config file:


I hope this makes more sense.. because dragging a control to the page works to print locally, but not from a .net web-application

sorry if I was unclear

Can you post a list to that article!?

Which version of Crystal?
