Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. please build the project, and try again.

09.13.07

I was reorganizing a project and I moved a crystal report after that I received this error at runtime "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. please build the project, and try again." No amount of building could fix this problem. I eventually had to open up the project file in note pad and edit the entries in the xml/MSBUILD.

Here is what a Crystal Report should look like in your MSBUILD script.

<Compile Include="CrystalReport1.cs">

    <AutoGen>True</AutoGen>

    <DesignTime>True</DesignTime>

    <DependentUpon>CrystalReport1.rpt</DependentUpon>

    <SubType>Component</SubType>

</Compile>

<EmbeddedResource Include="CrystalReport1.rpt">

    <Generator>CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator</Generator>

    <LastGenOutput>CrystalReport1.cs</LastGenOutput>

</EmbeddedResource>

After you correct the entry Rename the file Build then rename it again to the old name and build again.
