How do i get Crystal Report Viewer on my form

I am trying to drag CrystalReportViewer to my form and i got the following error

This my first time of using Crystal Report within Visual Studio

Is there some setting or references i should set withing visual studio which i have not done

Éric Moreau

I think I had the same issue in the past and solved it by installing CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms from Manage NuGet Packages

Looks like the crystal viewer component didn't install properly. Do a repair of visual studio and that should fix it.

Base on the instructions in the link sent i need to first install KB2999226
I could not find it for version 10 so i guess it is not necessary

1. I Downloaded Crystal Reports SP25 and installed with Admin privilege

2. I am now supposed remove in my references all Crystal Report references

I have 6 projects and examined the references under ALL of them

I noticed when i did a right click on references i saw some CrystalDecision entries
when i did a click on the references i did not see any crystaldecision entries

Am I in the right place to remove and add these references

I could only delete existing cytsaldecision entries see attachment and
there is no entry to be added

Am I in the correct place

If so am I to delete those crystaldecision entries. Is that the correct thing to do

and how do i add new entries when there is no single crystaldecision entry to check

see the 2 screens below:

Thanks for your help so far

Thanks for bearing with me.

I eventually got crystal reports working in my application.

I will now proceed to getting my old reports to work

using your method of pushing the data to Crystal
