We have a Visual Studio C# project that contains some Crystal Reports, and is compiled as a DLL. I want to run those reports for debugging purposes.
I've set up another project that references the DLL, and created an *.aspx page to call the report but I keep getting parser error messages, because it won't recognise the CodeFile/CodeBehind from another project. I'm not getting anywhere on google, can
someone point me in the right direction? Does anyone know of a tutorial somewhere that explains how this is done, step by step?
The DLL was created in another project (which I have no sight of, but I'm told does work).
I suppose what I'm asking for is if anyone knows of a step by step guide to how you would run a Crystal Report from a DLL, because at the moment it's all guesswork and so I'm getting many and varied error messages. Google hasn't turned up anything specific
enough, unfortunately.
At a minimum we need the error message. "varied error message" is not specific enough to make a guess. You might as well as ask "How long is the string?".

If you were told the custom DLL works then I would go back to the folks that gave you this information and ask for clarification.

At the very minimum you'll need to provide the error. Is the DLL from a library created in another project? Does the DLL work in the other project?
