I am currently migrating an app from .NET 2003 with Crystal 8.5 reports to .NET 2005 with Crystal XI embedded reports.
 
I have finally gotten past the slow page performance issue by using the Session variables.  I can now navigate from page to page quite quickly, but now when I click on the CrystalReportViewer toolbar print icon, the report disappears from the screen and nothing happens....before I was using the session variables a new window would open with the report as a pdf file and I could then print from there.
 
What am I missing?

I haven't seen this before. Nor have I seen that using Session collection change the reporting behavior. I would check to make sure you are loading the ReportDocument class in the session collection and then when you retrieve it, try retrieving it by casting it as the ReportDocument as well as the embedded report class name (try both to see if it changes the behavior). Also, try retrieving the report from the Session collection in the Init() event of the web page.

Again, I haven't seen this before so these ideas are just guesses at what might be causing it.

The Init() event was the problem.  I added retrieving the report from the Session collection in the Init() event and it's working great now.  Thanks for the hint and the very fast answer.
