When I open a Crystal Report in Visual Studio I can view options for how the fields are formatted such as the date and numbers. I'm running a crystal report in a project, is it possible to edit these settings through code?
Try setting the NumericFieldFormat values of the objects.
See an example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms225929%28v=vs.90%29.aspx

We have crystal reports viewed from a vb.net application. We have made changes to one of the reports. The .rpt file is in resources folder. When we publish the application and install it on user machine the changes done to the report (design related) are not reflected in the file as if no change was made.
Visual Studio - 2010 / 12.
Please check your reportoptions. There is a setting that is called "Save data with report". You have to uncheck this option. Otherwise the report will show the state it was last executed in the reportdesigner.
Maybe this will help?
The Reporting template seems missing in VS2017 (I am using Visual Basic). Any way to get it back?
I have already tried installing SQL Server Data tools and the rdlc extension from the marketplace, but it still doesn't show up.
The template is available in the Add New Item window. Select Visual C# and then look for the Report and Report Wizard templates. These templates are only visible under Visual C#, not under any subitem.
Try updating ReportViewer to version 14.0.0.0 and installing Microsoft.RdlcDesigner. This worked for me for Visual C# and then just like J.Bunch said there is no sub item Reporting like there was before so you just scroll down thorough all items. Also try this although the example is for C# I think it should at least help you with VB.Net as well. Hope it helps.
Previously I use vb6 with crystal report and i use the crystal report viewer with vb6 to preview the report.
now i moved to vb.net 2010 where i cannot find the crystal report viewer Activex control? i specially want to use crystal report Activex viewer in dot.net because it will allow the user to edit the report as user has need,
if the crystal report activex viewer cannot support then give me way to modify the crystal report file after the exe has been build in vb.net 2010?
.NET uses .Net DLLs, not Active X controls. When in .Net Studio...you will be looking for the DLL's that support run time operations...NOT an ActiveX. Dig back into your documentation and samples...it should be covered there.
As Juan said you need to look for .Net DLLs in order to use CrystalReportViewer.
From your question I am assuming you already have installed Crystal Report 13 for Visual Studio 2010. If you haven't https://www.sap.com/india/products/crystal-visual-studio.html this is the link from where you can download it.
Now coming to your question of not being able to find dll of CrystalReportViewer You need to follow these steps:
First in your menu bar go to project and go to properties of the project.
Go to Compile section, then to advanced compile options.
Go to Target Framework by default it will be on ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile" set it to ".NET Framework 4".
Restart your Visual Studio.
Voila you can see it.
Link to download .net Framework 4

Mark it as Accepted Answer if it works for you.
This has me really stumped. I'm using MS SQL 2008 R2 with SSRS and Visual Studio 2013. The application is written in VB.Net. When I create a report on the server and then try to incorporate it into my application with a ReportViewer the ReportViews shows up below the form and not within the form. When executed as a remote report nothing shows. The report works find in Report Server. When ReportViewer is added to form it is loaded below the form and not IN the form and the options are set for a Server Report. The ReportViewer is version 11. I don't know how this is happening now and not before. I have 2 reports from before as I was developing that seem to work ok and now I'm trying to add more and it's not working. Is this an option within VS2013? I'm confused.
I have the same situation. May work for you:
In Visual Studio in PROJECT -> Project Properties -> References
Make sure you only have Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version 11 and Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms Version 11
In the references I had Version 10 and when I removed those references the ReportViewer Control worked correctly.
I have a Crystal Report that I would like to open from a VB.net form. the Only problem is I'm having difficulties with finding out how to open up the Crystal Report Viewer from VB.net. I'm using Visual Studio 2012, and I have the update for Crystal Reports which lets it be used in Visual Studio 2012. If anyone has any suggestions it would be very appreciated.
Thanks
The answer is to follow the steps listed here Crystal Reports Viewer in Visual Studio 2010
The only difference is that instead of going to the compile tab in the Project Designer, you go to the application tab
