Dear sir ,

I have built my application in visual basic 6.0 and
crystal Report8.5 , Now i migrated my application to
VB.net using the upgrade wizard.My visual basic form is
upgraded to vb.net but my .dsr file that i created using
crystalReport is not migrated , when i try to convert it
into .rpt file using add new item in Vb.net Envs it give
me the error in the log file saying,

"sales.dsr isn't a Data Report file."

how should i rectify this problem


thank in advance
 
Are you sure the *.dsr files were created with CrystalReport?. As I
remember, VB's Add-in report tool "DataReport" creates *.dsr, 'cause I did
some report, using DataReport, a few years ago. I do not think you can
convert it to Crystal Report.

Also, converting a VB database application into a .NET database application
is no good, since ADO.NET is so different from those data accessing handling
used in classical VB, that it is almost guaranteed that you need to redesign
the app to take advantage of what ADO.NET offers.
 
In vb6.0 there is an option to add crystal report from the
project menu so u can add the crystal report but it save
in vb as .dsr file but you can use all the functionality
of crystal report through vb , so i have done exactly the
same and now when i am converting the *.dsr file to rpt
its giving me the error.
Also there is an option in vb.net to convert .dsr to .prt
file using the same i am converting but no luck...
