Namespace Error in Crystal Reports

[sassyChick]

Hello Everyone,

Please bare with me as this is my first post here. But there is a strange error that has been occurring with my Crystal Reports (just using the built in version with Visual Studio .NET). I had two reports which I had created, and ran successfully today. I was making minor design changes to them but no renaming of anything or messing around in designer code. Now any time i try to run either of the reports, i get the error:

Error 3 The type or namespace name 'MasterReport' does not exist in the namespace 'MRCReports' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Here is the designer code:

Namespace MRCReports
    
    
    Class Test
        
        ''' <summary>
        ''' Required designer variable.
        ''' </summary>
        Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer = Nothing
        
        Private crystalReportViewer1 As CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer
        
        Private MasterReport1 As MRCReports.MasterReport
        
        ''' <summary>
        ''' Clean up any resources being used.
        ''' </summary>
        ''' <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
            If (disposing  _
                        AndAlso (Not (components) Is Nothing)) Then
                components.Dispose
            End If
            MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
        End Sub
        
        ''' <summary>
        ''' Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        ''' the contents of this method with the code editor.
        ''' </summary>
        Private Sub InitializeComponent()
            Me.crystalReportViewer1 = New CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer
            Me.MasterReport1 = New MRCReports.MasterReport
            Me.SuspendLayout
            ' 
            ' crystalReportViewer1
            ' 
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.ActiveViewIndex = 0
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.Name = "crystalReportViewer1"
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Me.MasterReport1
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(857, 671)
            Me.crystalReportViewer1.TabIndex = 0
            ' 
            ' Test
            ' 
            Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6!, 13!)
            Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font
            Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(857, 671)
            Me.Controls.Add(Me.crystalReportViewer1)
            Me.Name = "Test"
            Me.Text = "Test"
            Me.ResumeLayout(false)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

This error occured in both reports and I encountered this problem yesterday which I fixed by starting over, but I really don't want to do that!

I tried to google this issue and found that it might be outdated CrystalDecisions dll's, but I do not know where to download the trusted dll's and if this would even fix it at all.

Anyone have this error before or know how to fix it?

Thanks for any help!!

I used an online code translator to translate your code to VB.Net, then maybe you can get help here at VB.Net Forums. Take care to use VB.Net language next time you post.

Do you have the previous version (prior to making changes)? You can use a Diff viewer to see what changes were made.

If you don't have the prior version... I strongly suggest some sort of source control, like SubVersion.
