Creating a New Windows Project in Visual Studio

  • Article

Before you create a Windows project, verify that Crystal Reports for Visual Studio has been installed on your system; see What Needs to be Installed?.

  1. Launch Visual Studio.

  2. From the File menu, select New, and then click Project.

  3. In the New Project dialog box, select a language folder for C# or Visual Basic from the Project Types list.

  4. From the Templates list, click Windows Forms Application.

  5. In the Name field, replace the default project name with the name of your project.

Use a Pascal naming convention where you set the first letter of the project name to uppercase, because the project name also becomes the namespace name for the assembly generated from the project.
  1. Click OK.
