and good luck, cr.net is awful to use...
wait till you need to link it to a stored procedure with parameters
masochistic!

I agree with you. I do not like crystal report. But whatelse can replace it? Can we use HTML as report? But how to bind data to it if I use dataset/datareader?

We use Crystal as a reporting tool in our app, and it's really no big deal. All reports are originaly developed of off stored procs with parameters and work just fine (using Crystal Designer, not the .Net embedded one). I just try to put as much load as I can on SQL side and use Crystal primarely for displaying a nicely represented data. Haven't tried to report of off DataSets though, we use ADO data source. As for the error, check the reference in your project, what version of Crystal.Web.dll do you use (Crystal Viewer is a part of this namespace). The control declaration on the page should have the same version in it.

Finally, I uninstalled CR and NET and then reinstalled them. Do CR first, install all service pack, and then NET. Now is ok. CR knew this bug, check:

That's what I was saying, version conflict. I dont't think you should have reinstalled everything though, could be fixed much simplier.
