1199463 - UFL created in C#, Visual Studio .NET 2005 is not visible in the Crystal Reports Designer

UFL created in C#, Visual Studio .NET 2005 is not visible in the Crystal Reports Designer under the Formula Editor.

The UFL was not placed in GAC. Nor was the UFL registered by the regasm.exe utility.

1) Ensure CR designer is not running

2) GAC the dll:

a) Copy the crufl_vb_crypto.dll into c:\program files\business objects\common\3.5\bin

b) Go to the .NET command prompt

c) Type c:\program files\business objects\common\3.5\bin gacutil -i crufl_myUFL.dll

 

This should give you a message; Assembly successfully added to the cache.

 

3) Register the UFL by the regasm.exe utility. At the .NET command prompt type:

 c:\program files\business objects\common\3.5\bin regasm crufl_myUFL.dll
