Dear all,
 
I dont know if this is the right place but I need some help here.
 
A long time ago i developed an application in Visual Studio .Net 2003 with C#. I build a lot of forms with some Crystal Reports integrated.
For Crystal reports the version 9.1.5000 was used.
The application runs a couple of years on xp platforms.
 
The customer is now changing there clients to Windows 7 and the reports doesn't work anymore. I looked for installation files (dll's) on the internet but cannot find any.
I can simply upgrade the application to a higher version of .Net with Visual Studio 2010, but what to do with the crystal reports?
 
Is there a way to simply upgrade the reports to a higher version to (that is integrated in Visual Studio)?
And do i need to buy something or is it freeware?
 
Thanks
Mari

I don't know for sure, but I would think that for the most part just upgrading to vs2010 would do the trick.  I know that when we upgraded from CR XI to 2008, the only difference that the occurred was when we saved, and it cautioned that nothing before CR 9 would be able to read the rpt files...not a big deal for us, we never went back that far.
 
The biggest change that I would predict is if CR retired some functions which break your rpts.

That would be nice.
And there will be no extra client installation nessesary?
Only deliver the referenced dll's?

I think so, but in all honesty, I don't deal with the installs...I believe it was just changing the references in the project, which will probably build the dependencies...but I can't say for sure...not my department ;)
