Veola Delzell
I'm new in crystal report 11.5, my task is desig time i just create a blank report during runtime programaticaly create Fieldobject,Blob object and so on, i came to know this is the right (Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.5) dll but, i dont know how to write the code. Experts please post simple code, i tried this site but there is no code related my task, experts please help me.
The references will be different in your application since you are using Crystal Reports XI R2 but the code should be the same. You need to use In-Proc RAS since you do not have Crystal Reports Server or Business Objects Enterprise installed.
Thanks for your response. One more question i have, if i develop the application with RAS, then i install MyProject in the production server then, is any need the server also have RAS or with my project i just include the RAS references?
You are using the wrong SDK in this case. You cannot use ADO.NET (crdb_adoplus.dll) with the RDC. It would not recognise it. RDC only supports classic ADO (crdb_oledb.dll). Report Creation APi and the RDC was designed for Visual Basic 6.0.
I recommend starting by creating a simple application with the report created in the Crystal Report designer using ADO.NET(XML) driver and Visual Studio .NET code to pass the dataset at runtime so you are familiar with the code and properties before trying to create the full report in code with RAS.
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.5 is the ReportCreation API for Visual Basic 6.0. It is not supported in Visual Studio .NET. There are some older How To articles that are still valid. Search on "How to" Report Creation API". Licensing is no longer required."
Thanks for your response, i saw first and second link both are using CR 8 version and i saw lot of samples in your last link but there is no source which is like my tak. Can you pelase tell me, which COM or dll i need to add and how write the code?

People who use SAP Crystal Reports are usually those who use data a lot in their day-to-day role, such as Database Administrators, IT, Finance, Accounting, and Power Users. The people who log on to the portal provided by SAP Crystal Server to access pre-built content are usually end users, business users, and management; in other words, consumers of reports who want answers to business question already asked on their behalf (by those who created the report with SAP Crystal Reports).

SAP Crystal Reports can be accessed through Citrix terminal servers or Microsoft Remote Desktop, but the number of named user licenses purchased must equal the number of individuals that have access to the software. Client applications that are accessed via terminal servers are considered server applications for the purposes of determining redistribution right. Each individual user using SAP Crystal Reports Client thru Citrix will require a named copy of SAP Crystal Reports. If a customer buys SAP Crystal Server they will need the equal amount of named user licenses.
For many customers, a combination of user and CS licenses is appropriate depending on the mix of user types. CS licenses is best for casual reporting users, while user licences are best for managers, executives, and analysts needing dedicated access. SAP Crystal Server deployments are limited to a single server and both user and CS licenses can be combined in any way. When adding new licenses to an existing system, the new licenses are additive. The total number of licenses available for a single deployment is the sum of the licenses in all installed key codes.
SAP Crystal Reports 2020 and SAP Crystal Reports 2016 deployments require 1 user as a minimum. There is no maximum numbers of users. SAP Crystal Reports 2020 and SAP Crystal Reports 2016 are sold in increments of 1.
SAP Crystal Server 2020 deployments require 1 user as a minimum. Purchased separately from user, CS is added to a user deployment. SAP Crystal Server 2020 (user) can be added together up to a maximum of 100 (users). SAP Crystal Server 2020 CS is sold in increments of 5 and can be scaled up to 50 CS.
Workstations with a version of SAP Crystal Reports installed will have the following keys in the registry. You can use these keys with an automated software inventory tool to count the number of licenses in use.
Log into the Central Management Console (CMC) under the Admin account, in the upper right area under Manage, and select "License Keys". This will show you now many Named Users and / or Concurrent Users you have.
If you want to see how many users are logged and who is logged, go back to the upper right area under Manage, and select "Sessions".
