Crystal Reports for VS2012 - VS2013 - VS2015 - VS2

问题:

I have installed VS2012 Ultimate on a fresh PC. I tried adding the Crystal Reports file in my project but there is no crystal report .crt Item avaliable into Add New Item menu of the VS2012

Is there a version for VS2012? or do I have to install an extra setup file for crystal reports which is redundant since I already have VS2012 installed.

Here it is! - SP 21 works on Visual Studio 2017

SAP released SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio

You can get it here (click "Installation package for Visual Studio IDE")

To integrate “SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio” you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.

New In SP21 Release

Integration with Visual Studio 2017, .NET Framework 4.7, FireFox ESR 52, Addressed 10+ customer Incidents.

In this page you can find actual and previous releases.

This post is right from SAP on Sep 20, 2012.

In short, they are still working on a release of Crystal Reports that will support VS2012 (including support for Windows 8) It will come in the form of a service pack release that updates the version currently supporting VS2010. At that time they will drop 2010/2012 from the name and simply call it Crystal Reports Developer.

If you want to download that version you can find it here.

Further, service packs etc. when released can be found here.

I would also add that I am currently using Visual Studio 2012. As long as you don't edit existing reports they continue to compile and work fine. Even on Windows 8. When I need to modify a report I can still open the project with VS2010, do my work, save my changes, and then switch back to 2012. It's a little bit of a pain but the ability for VS2010 and VS2012 to co-exist is nice in this regard. I'm also using TFS2012 and so far it hasn't had a problem with me modifying files in 2010 on a "2012" solution.

There is also someone who managed to modify CR for VS.NET 2010 to install on 2012, using MS ORCA in this thread: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3235515 . I couldn't get it to work myself, though.
