Crystal Report 8.5 For Visual Basic 6.0: Generate Interactive Reports in VS



  • Hi Pooja,Back in CR 8.5, it was the RDC COm SDK (CRAXDRT.dll) and with CR for VS 2010 it is .NET SDK which are two complete different SDKs and could not be compared.However, the .NET SDK should export the report same as it is exported through CR designer.Could you export the report in a newer designer possibly CR 2008 or CR 2011/2013 and compare the exported output with your .NET SDK export?You could get the trial free download for CR desiner here. -trials.html- BhushanSenior EngineerSAP Active Global SupportFollow us on TwitterGot Enhancement ideas?

We are developing web application using VS 2010. We are using crystal reports 13. Initially we had VB6 application which used crystal reports 8.5. The format for excel report generated by crystal report 8.5 and crystal report 13.5 is different. We are using the export option in crystal report viewer for both reports. Is there any way in which we could make changes to crystal reports 13.5 to achieve similar excel formatting as crystal reports 8.5.

I also realize that this is not trivial if you do not have programming experience. It is the my best recollection on how we used to do this (CR XI being out of support for over a year now, I have have not had VB 6 on any image for a long time now).

There is more bad news for you coming though.Say you decide to upgrade CR, the app, the whole thing. Since your app was built in VB 6, it is using either the Report Designer Component SDK, or the OCX SDK, or the Print Engine SDK. All of these have been retired. OCX in CR 9, Report Designer Component in CR 11.5 and Print Engine SDK in version 10. Of all of those, only CR 11.5 would work on a \\\"modern\\\" OS (e.g.; WIN 2003, Win 2008).Your options; Upgrade to CR 2008 and use VS .NET 2008. Port (e.g.; rewrite) the app to use the CR assemblies for .NET.Upgrade to CR 2011, download Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and use it with VS2010.
