Can't create an instance of Crystal Report

[TigerFan987]

I have a asp website in which I've added a crystal report (crystalreport1.rpt). I'm trying to load the report with data from a dataset when the page loads, but I am unable to create an instance of the report

dim rpt as new crystalreport1

crystalreport1 doesn't show up in intellisense. Any thoughts on why I can't create a instance of the report.

thanks,

the web project may be treating the report as an external file, rather than a compiled object.
Check the project properties of the report. Content type should be something like "compiled".

I took a look at a project I have with compiled reports. the project file contains

<Compile Include="MyReport.cs">
   <AutoGen>True</AutoGen>
   <DesignTime>True</DesignTime>
   <DependentUpon>MyReport.rpt</DependentUpon>
   <SubType>Component</SubType>
</Compile>
