CrystalReport: The Type or Namespace name 'CrystalDecisions' Could not be Found in Visual Studio 2010/2012


Hello Friends ,

In this article I will explain how to solve crystal report namespace error in visual studio 2010/2012
Introduction:

Currently working with one of the crystal report project we found one error: “The type or namespace name 'CrystalDecisions' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?” in visual studio 2012

Here I will explain how to solve problem of “The type or namespace name 'CrystalDecisions' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?” in visual studio 2010/2012 while using crystal reports in windows/Web application in c#vb.net.

Solutions:
This error mainly occurs because of pointing our application to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile like as shown below
Step 1: Right Click on your Application 
Step 2: Go to Properties Select Application Tab


Step 3: To fix this problem we need to change Target Framework version from .NET Framework 4 Client Profile to .NET Framework 4


Once we change our Target Framework version to .NET Framework 4 build the application and check it will fix the error

Hope this helped you to solve your error

Happy Programming!!
