I have inherited an SSRS solution that I can't seem to work with. I sat down with the previous owner briefly and he showed me where in TFS to find the solution. The also opened up a few of the RDL files and attempted to give me the gist of modifying a report. Every thing seemed straight forward to me during that session.
Now the original developer is gone and I now have access to the code in TFS. Whenever I try to open one of the RDL files, it opens it up as an XML document instead of opening it in the designer.
I have Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Management studio installed. Any thoughts on what I may be missing like service packs or hot fixes?
Re-run the SQL Server 2008 installer on your machine. You need to install the Business Intelligence Developer Studio component, or whatever it was called in '08.
If you don't have access to an installer, find the SQL Server Express with Advanced Services download (whatever year you need, just make sure it's the "Advanced Services" - here's 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1842 ), and run that; it will also provide an option for BIDS.

I want to update the crystal report for my visual studio.
I went to the link https://origin.softwaredownloads.sap.com/public/site/index.html , but it shows many packages. Which one we actually need for developer system? I understand that MSI is not needed on developer machine. But then there are runtime and one click files. Not sure which one I need. I am using VS 2022.
A similar topic as this has been discussed, but my problem lies with a different version of Visual Studio; I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express.
I am following this tutorial and I have progressed to the "Accessing Your Model's Data from a Controller" section.
It says to open Server Explorer, expand Tables and right-click the Movies table and select Show Table Data. This option is missing (along with Add New Table, Add New Trigger, New Query and Open Table Definition). I only have Copy, Refresh and Properties.
Other posts talk about SQL Server Data Tools. On the page to download it there is a link to download "Download Visual Studio 2013 with SQL Server Tooling", which goes to a page to download a trial copy of Visual Studio 2013.
It makes little sense to me. Am I suppose to have the option in 2013 Professional or not? I have also installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
I had the same problem. I tried to install SSDT for Visual Studio. Make sure that the Visual studio version matches.
The reason for me to have this problem: Because I reinstalled SQL server management, and this overwrote the "old" one (which is match VS).
I have an old Visual Studio 2005 web project which I need to re-host. I remember from years back, in order for the Crystal Reports to run, you had to build the project with a merge module which is CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm.
I no longer have this file, and I can't find it for download anywhere. It used to be on the Business objects website, but I can't find it now.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy?
try https://code.google.com/p/cims2/downloads/detail?name=CRRedist2005_x86.msi&can=2&q=
or search for CRRedist2005_x86.msi
Try this website or just do a general google search for Crystal Reports Redistributable x86

Failed to load database information. Details: The database DLL crdb_ado.dll could not be loaded. Error in File (filename) Failed to load database information.
I am receiving this error when i try to run a crystal report from my page. on the server I have installed the CRRedist2008_x86 and the dll file is in the business objects folder, but for some reason it is still not loading. I also checked to make sure I have the msvcp60.dll which is also needed but still am unable to run the report.
The server is running Windows Server 2008, has Visual Studio 2005 installed on it (not sure if that makes any difference). The application ran fine on my local machine, but after uploading it to the server, it's not wanting to play nice.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.
Thank You
You should get Dependency Walker and open the crdb_ado.dll to confirm all the required files are there. Although checking for msvcp60.dll is generally the right idea, I've found that people are often looking for the wrong version of those files OR that other required DLLs are also missing.
Also, be sure the redist you are using matches the version of Crystal Reports you have referenced in your project. There is a difference between using, say Crystal Reports 2008 on top of Visual Studio 2005,, versus using the BUNDLED Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2005 (Or 2008, or 2010 for that matter.).
In fact, sometimes people don't realize that their .NET projects are referencing the "comes with Visual Studio" edition of Crystal Reports because they happen to have Crystal Reports version <whatever> installed on their PC.
That said, if you are pretty confident your redist of CRRedist2008_x86 matches what you are using, I'd focus on Dependency Walker to see if it is indicating a missing required file for the crdb_ado.dll.
I have published a WinForms application from Visual Studio 2010. It uses .NET 4.0. in the prerequisite dialog in Publish pane I selected .NET 4.0 Client Profile and Windows Installer 3.0. After publishing application to disk, I migrated it to client's computer which first installed .NET Client Profile and after reboot it gave following error message:
Unable to Install or run application. The application requires that assembly, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common version 10.0.0 in global assembly cache first.
After this message the installation process exits. I'm using .NET's report in my project (not Crystal Reports).
You have to deploy the ReportViewer controls separately.
Check here on MSDN for more information: Deploying Reports and ReportViewer Controls
The ReportViewer control redistributable is a self-extracting file named ReportViewer.exe that includes an .msi and other files. You can find ReportViewer.exe at the following location:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\ReportViewer\ReportViewer.exe
You can also download it from the Microsoft Download Center.
[ . . . ]
The type of control you are using
determines where ReportViewer.exe
should be run.
For ASP.NET applications, run
ReportViewer.exe on the Web server
that hosts your application. This must
be done by a server administrator.
For Windows Forms applications,
include the controls as an application
prerequisite so that they are
installed automatically with your
application. You can use the
bootstrapping application to automate
this step:
Open the project properties page.
Click Publish, and then click
Prerequisites.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
Report Viewer, and then click OK.
Publish the application.
During application installation, a
check is performed on the local
computer to see if ReportViewer is
already installed. If it is not
installed, the Setup program will
install it.
I guess this is probably a new VS2012 feature, but you now can deploy Report Viewer (and the SQL Server CLR Types) with Forms / WPF click once installations.
Open the project properties page.
Click the Publish tab, and then click the Prerequisites button.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Report Viewer, and SQL Server
CLR Types then click OK.
Make sure that the Download prerequisites from the component
vendor’s website option is checked. This is the only supported
option. Then, click OK.
Click the Options button.
In the Deployment tab, specify a deployment Web page and select the
Automatically generate deployment web page after ever publish
checkbox.
Click OK and publish the application.
look at this: Running ReportViewer.exe
both we are gave you same link. it will help you
Download and install Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime CTP from following url...

I had the same problem for months, one machine cat v.11 installed (manually by adding some components) and another had v.10 (from the ms framework itself), when I did the publish from my machine, it gave the error.
here is how I fixed it,
In Nuget, there are 2 packages,
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Windows (Microsoft.ReportViewer runtime 2012) and
ReportViewer.Common 10.0
I installed them both, now its working quite all right
