1197610 - Error: "ErrorCode=-2147213284" when setting crosstab top and left coordinates in .NET 2005

A Crystal report with crosstab objects is run in a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 application. When setting the top and left coordinates for the crosstab object programmatically, the following error appears:

  "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
  ErrorCode=-2147213284
  Message="Adding or changing this kind of report object is not supported."
  Source="RptControllers.dll"
  StackTrace: at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Cont"

  

The following code was used to set the top and left coordinates of the crosstab object:

Dim rpt As New CrossTab      
        For Each rptobj In rpt.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects
            ' crosstab object are not allowed to set location
            If rptobj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.CrossTabObject Then
                Dim ct As CrossTabObject
                ct = CType(rptobj, CrossTabObject)
                ct.Left = 20
                ct.Top = 170
                ct.Border.BottomLineStyle = CrystalDecisions.Shared.LineStyle.DashLine
                MessageBox.Show(rptobj.Name & ";" & rptobj.Left & ";" & rptobj.Top)
            End If

            ' Chart object are allowed to set location
            If rptobj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.ChartObject Then
                Dim ct As ChartObject
                ct = CType(rptobj, ChartObject)
                ct.Left = 120
                ct.Top = 10
                ct.Border.BottomLineStyle = CrystalDecisions.Shared.LineStyle.DashLine
                MessageBox.Show(rptobj.Name & ";" & rptobj.Left & ";" & rptobj.Top)
            End If
