Topic: Visual Studio 2017 Crystal reports issue Posted: 05 Oct 2020 at 7:53am
I have a .net app written in c#. My desktop was upgraded to a laptop (yay....) The references were copied over and VS was installed on the laptop. I installed crystal on the laptop and added the references back to get the app to build without error. However when I test the app in VS I get this error.
The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.CRPE' threw an exception
I cannot for the life of me figure out what the issue is.

First thing that comes to mind is, is the connection string for the report the same? Perhaps you need to set the connection string for the report in code.
Of course the other thought is, does the report work in the crystal designer? That might help in troubeshooting.
