Crystal Report Open from Resources folder, i have tried.

This error on last line

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: 'No application is associated with the specified file for this operation'

What I have tried:

Dim CrytsalReportFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData + "\Embedded.rpt"
Dim EmbeddedBytes As Byte() = My.Resources.Embedded

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(CrytsalReportFile, EmbeddedBytes, False)
Process.Start(CrytsalReportFile)

Solution 1

The error message is perfectly clear - there is no application installed on the computer where your application is running which can open an .rpt file.

And it's unlikely that you'd want to open the file anyway. That would simply open the Crystal Reports designer, whereas you probably want to bind the report to some data and display the output.

To do that, you'll need to write some code. Google has lots of examples to help you. Eg:
