This error typically occurs when the required assembly reference for Crystal Reports is missing in the project. To resolve this issue, you need to add the appropriate assembly reference to your project. Here are the steps to add the assembly reference in Visual Studio: Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and select "Add Reference". In the Reference Manager window, navigate to the "Browse" tab. Locate the CrystalDecisions assemblies on your system. The exact location may vary depending on your installation, but the assemblies are typically found in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework {version}\Managed . Select the necessary CrystalDecisions assemblies for your project. The required assemblies are typically CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.Shared . Click "OK" to add the assembly references to your project. After adding the assembly references, rebuild your project to ensure that the references are resolved correctly. You should now be able to use the Crystal Reports namespace without any errors. If you continue to encounter issues, make sure that you have installed the correct version of SAP Crystal Reports for SAP B1 that is compatible with your Visual Studio version. Additionally, ensure that the necessary runtime components are installed on your system.
