  • Crystal Reports & Framework 4 (Could not load file or assembly crdb_adoplus.dll)

    If you upgrade your project to .NET Framework 4 or for any reason you get a mysterious error like the one below:

    “Could not load file or assembly ‘file:///C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet1\crdb_adoplus.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”

    Try inserting the code below at your app.config or web.config file:

    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
            <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    </startup>
    It seems that microsoft changed the binding procedure and this setting changes that.
