When i create CrystalReport file only .rpt file is creating and .cs file is not creating at all. so i am unable to take an instance of the crystalReport class and then assign the dataset to it and then display.

the second simple code i tried to just display the report but didnot worked

Report.Load(Server.MapPath("Reports/CrystalReport1.rpt"));
Report.SetDatabaseLogon("sa", "12345", "khan-pc", "testDB");

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report;

Accepted answer
If you have a Website then there will be a Bin folder and if you have Web Project then there will be a Reference folder in your solution. Try to check the "Add Reference" option by doing right click on it

I have created an asp.net empty website. i manually created the directories 'References' and 'Bin' and of course in 'Bin' the option add references exist but there the asemblies are already checked and its tell me that the website have already reference to crystal report?

Its still does not work for me and the reports are not displaying on the Web Form without showing any error. I have noticed a problem and may be it is the cause, that is in my VS toolbox ReportDocument, CrystalReportViewer is present , but when i drag the control the assembly is created in the register tag like this
<%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>
but my project Reference folder is empty and no references are adding at all. i tried right click but the option Add References not exist? Is it a problem if so then how to resolve?

There is no .cs file is created if you add Crystal Reports. Only .rpt file will be created on your solution. You need to to use ReportDocument class to load your .rpt file and to use DataSet as below -

ReportDocument rptdoc = rptdoc = new ReportDocument();
rptdoc.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\\MyReport.rpt"));
rptdoc.SetDataSource(ds);
