When I add a Crystal Report.NET to a project in Visual studio enterprise developer 2003, I notice that in addition to the
report, another file (with .cs extension) is NOT addeded.

When compling, I'm getting this error message :
"C:\utv\net\prjandre\CR.rpt The custom tool 'CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGen erator' failed. The located assembly's manifest definition with name 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Designer.Interfaces' does not match the assembly reference."

I'm running Version=9.2.3300.0 of Crystal Report

Did you ever get an answer to this one I am getting the same error?

Peace

I think I found a solution.

in the solution explorer, select a report.

In the properties the 'Custom tool' property is:
CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGene rator

change it to:
CrystalDecisions.VSShell.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerat or

The change seems to be permanent.

Hope it helps. Let me know if you find another solution or if there is a problem with this one.

No warranty expressed or implied.

Good Luck.

That worked however since installing Crystal 9.2 when I drag a reportviewer control to a page it sez "Error creating control" and the property ShowAllPageIds = "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

What reference is missing?

"Never rub another man's rhubarb"

Well, I thought that you solution would fix this issue, but, alas, I checked the properties of my report and they were already set to the value you supplied. Please don't take this as a criticism, I am just trying to understand what has happened...

This is really odd because I have two reports and only this one is causing this error, in addition, it has been part of the project for some time and all of a sudden it is an issue.

Do you have any other possible issues/solutions?

Thanks in advance.

I was getting the same error and I fix it by changing CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGene rator to
CrystalDecisions.VSShell.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerat or at the reports custom tool (solution Explorer - selectreport.rpt - properties)
But now I am getting the following error

"Custom tool error: "Code generator 'ReportCodeGenerator' failed. Exception stack = CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveRep ortException: Load report failed.
   at .F(String  , EngineExceptionErrorID 
)
   at .B(String , Int32 )
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocum ent.Load(String reportName, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocum ent.Load(String reportName)
   at CrystalDecisions.VSShell.CodeGen.ReportClassWriter ..ctor(String filePath)
   at CrystalDecisions.VSShell.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerat or.GenerateCode(String inputFileName, String inputFileContent)""

Anyone can help?????

thanks a lot:)

Changing the 'Custom Tool' property didn't work for me, so I used a sledgehammer. I repaired Visual Studio 2003 and reinstalled CR XI Release 2. The problem went away.
