I'm really stumped on what's wrong with this CR in our ASP.NET 1.1 app

I've been struggling with this thing for 2 days, and after searching the
'net for help, I cannot find what is wrong.



We're using Crystal Reports XI Release 2, with Visual Studio .NET 2003 in an
ASP.NET 1.1 application. I've got a CrystralReportsViewer control on an
ASP.NET page. Once the page gets hit I get the following error message
(this is running on my development machine):



Server Error in '/Appointments' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2032; ASP.NET
Version:1.1.4322.2032



Here are the relevant lines from the Web.Config file:



<assemblies>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine,
Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=11.5.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=11.5.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc,
Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework,
Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore,
Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Web, Version=11.5.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=..."/>

</assemblies>



The four references being included in the app are:



CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

CrystalDecisions.Shared

CrystalDecisions.Web



I have verified that the version number of all of those references is
11.5.3300.0



The relevant register tag in the ASP.NET page is as follows:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="cr" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web"
Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web", Version=11.5.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=." %>



I see absolutely nothing wrong with what I've done. So, why does it tell me
that, "File or assembly name "CrystalDecisions.Web", or one of its
dependencies, was not found."???

Hi Rod,
Two things jump out at me.

1. Are you sure that file (at that version) is available in the path
specified by the reference? If the web app was developed on a different
machine, you may be missing that dll, or not have it in the same
directory.

2. I believe version 11.5 is Business Objects XI R2. It may be that you
have just not installed the merge module for release 2 on your local
(development) machine, which would cause you to have a file that did
not have the same version as your app (or be missing in the first
place). Also XI R2 is intended for use with Visual Studio 2005. I'm
sure it's backwards compatible, but maybe that is what is causing the
problem?

I'm not sure if that will help. Good luck.

Hi drolaw,

Answering your questions in the order that you asked them:

1. I think the file is in the path specified by the reference. I've checked
the reference in VS .NET 2003's Solution Explorer, and then found the .dll
in the folder that the reference pointed to. Could you mean something else?

2. You may be correct about CR 11 R2 only being for VS .NET 2005. However,
when I went to download it from Business Object's website, I talked with
someone there and they told me that CR 11 R 2 would also work with VS .NET
2003, as well as VB6. (I was very specific about those two, as we're still
doing development in both.)
