To ret rid of these, copy the following code into a query window, substitute ‘mysearchtext’ and ‘myreplacetext’ with your own terms, run it, copy the results into another query window and run that.

– rename tables in database

SELECT ‘EXEC sp_rename ”’ + NAME + ”’,”’ + replace(name, ‘vixlive_’,”) + ”’ ‘ FROM sysobjects where xtype = ‘U’

SELECT name AS TableName
FROM sys.objects
WHERE object_id NOT IN (SELECT object_id FROM sys.indexes WHERE index_id = 1)
AND type = ‘u’ –USER DEFINED TABLE

After adding merge replication to the PaperMuseum database, the user was getting this message SQL Sever Error“Maximum Storage procedure, function, trigger or view nesting lever exceeded (limit 32)”occurred after adding replication. This occurred everytime they tried to change a record.

The solution:

Go into database properties, files, and check the Owner (it was blank). Having set the owner, then deleted the replication publication and ran the wizard again, everything was ok.

Crystal Reports Installation Problem

Having had the application running successfully at the pure package for several weeks, a Click Once update failed.

The error message “requires assembly CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel Version 12.0.0.11.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache”

When I checked back to an old working installation, I found the Crystal Reports references to be a later version (13)

SOLUTION

I removed all references to Crystal Decisions from my project, then browse to add in the new references:

Path on my pc Shown Below

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet

Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet1\crdb_adoplus.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The solution was the add the following to the app.config file

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=”true”>

That resolved the problem on my development machine, to fix it on the end user’s machines I had to add this section

To Align controls, by their edges or centers, select first the control that is in the correct position, then hold down the ctrl and select the controls you wish to align to it.

Crystal Reports has long been associated with Visual Basic, and Visual Studio, I used it way back in 1994 along with Visual Basic.

But it does not always appear in the toolbox for Visual Studio 2010. This happened to me a few times, and I find the following steps always fix it.

This is the answer, in Project properties\compile\advanced compile options, if the settings is .net Frame Work 4.0 Client Profile then it needs to change to .net Frame Work 4.0

Below is the corrected settings, (corrected that is if you need Crystal Reports Viewer control in your toolbox)

Problem:

If you create a VS report by manually or by using the wizard, and configure a dataset based on a stored procedure, then later modify the stored procedure to include new columns, these are not picked up in the report designer.

I repeated these steps several times and all with the same result. I was able to configure the dataset, and get that to recognise the new fields, but in the report editor, it did not include them in the fields list.

WORKAROUND

This is what I found, in visual studio, solution explorer, right click the report and choose Open With,

Choose, XML editor

The in the editor, look for the fields list, and manually add your new fields in, making sure you get the name exactly right, and the correct datatype.

 This is what it looks like in the xml editor, you can see the list of fields.

Report rdlc file opened in xml editor

The report would also show when refreshed.

I found the answer was to open the dataset the report was based on, find the column maked as a key – (see picture) and delete the key

The report then ran fine.
