Crystal Reports - Templates. Previous Page. Instead of creating a report from scratch, you can also use inbuilt templates from the report repository. These report templates provide predefined layout for common documents like purchase orders, invoices, letter templates, etc. Editions: Crystal Reports 2008 comes in a single edition that is the feature equivalent of the previous Developer Edition. Crystal Reports 2008 Visual Advantage is a soft bundle of Crystal Reports 2008 and Xcelsius Engage 2008.
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataWith the increasing number of versions of Crystal Reports and Visual Studio .NET, there is some confusion on which Crystal Reports runtime needs to be distributed with which version ofVisual Studio .NET (VS .NET). In this article, I want to clarify what MSM or MSI files belong to which version of Crystal Reports and which of these will work on VS .NET 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008. I have also added supported Operating System field as well as supported framework for each version of Crystal Reports. As each version of Crystal Reports has its' own specific runtime which must be correctly deployed, it is critical that the deployed runtime be in agreement with the Crystal Reports assemblies for Visual Studio .NET referenced in your project. Also, note that the CR.NET component relies on COM Interop for the backend report processing engine. It is therefore imperative that all runtime deployments are done by use of the MSM or MSI files. XCopy deployments are not supported, nor will they work.The following matrix is a summary of runtime information for Crystal Reports from Version 9.1 for VS .NET 2002 to version 2008.
Please note; any comments are very appreciated. However support queries or questions regarding details of deployment should be submitted to the 'NET Development - Crystal Reports' forum
