I have VS 2010 installed on Windows 7 Profesional. After installing I discovered that Crystal Reports was not included in this version of VS. I read several forums that explained that I needed to download a beta version from Crystal SAP. I did this but still in my VS Toolbox "Reporting" The Crystal Reports Viewer is disabled along with the other components. Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this ?

A few suggestions:

1) check Addin-Manager and see if it needs to be activated there

2) See if the application itself must be registered or activated with a test key before it can be seen

Those are the two most common things I've seen to get a tool visible in VS2010

SQL

The CrystalReport Viewer control is a .Net assembly.  By default, when you create a new .net 4 Windows Form application, it uses the .net 4 Client Profile framework, not the standard .net 4 framework.  After I converted my project (Properties-> Compile -> Advanced Compile Options - Target Framework) to the standard framework, the Crystal Report Viewer control became available under the Reports section.

I have yet to research what the differences are between the two types of frameworks, or why we need them...
