I have working and tested project which was developed under Visual Studio 2005 (ASP.NET) and Crystal Reports XI R2. Reports are displayed on web page using component CrystalReportsViewer -> version of dll 11.5.2700.0. Additionally user can generate pdf reports directly, without using component CrystalReportViewer.
Recently problems:
I want to migrate whole project:
1.       Windows Server 2003 -> Windows Server  2008
2.       Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio 2008
3.       Crystal Reports XI R2  - the same for both environment
Recently I have problem with components which is used to display reports (tables and graphs) CrystalReportViewer.
a.       CrystalReportViewer in version 10.5.3700.0 don’t display reports at all. I got only error message.
b.      CrystalReportViewer in version 11.5.3700.0 display reports, but instead graphic (logo, chars), I see only red cross (can’t display object)
What surprised me I was able to create new project in new environment (Windows Server 2008 and VisualStudio2008), which generate and display all reports correctly – including graphic. This new project use dll 10.5.3700.0 Unfortunately, what I have wrote before this version of dll don’t work with project which I have made before (CrystalReportViewer).
Conclusion
Was anyone was able to migrate Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008 using the same version of CrystalReports XI R2
