Problem upgrading crystal report for visual studio

I upgraded my program from crystal reports 2008 runtime to CR2013. I have also installed the crvs2013. My project now works without error, however in development mode I get the following instead of the crystal reports. Any Ideas.

thanks

What code are you using?

        Try
            'Dim myDS As New DataSet
            'myDS = Session("oDataSet")
            myreport = CType(Session("oClientDoc"), ReportDocument)
            '  myreport.SetDataSource(myDS)
            If Session("RptName") = "Insurance" Then
                CrystalReportViewer1.ToolPanelView = CrystalDecisions.Web.ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel
            Else

            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = myreport
        Catch engx As CrystalReportsException
            Session.Add("oError", engx.Message & "crViewer1")
            Response.Redirect("errors.aspx")
        Catch ex2 As ParameterFieldException

            Response.Redirect("errors.aspx")
        Catch ex3 As EngineException
            Session.Add("oError", ex3.Message & "crViewer1")

        End Try
    End Sub

I don't use the VS versions but the message seems to imply they changed the method of referring to reports. They want to use the ReportSourceID rather than the ReportSource

This line
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = myreport

Should be
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSourceID = myreport

I don't know what value it takes. Try myreport. If that is not it then there should be some property of the report that gives the ID.
