Crystal Reports XI slow loading DataSets in .Net 2003

[codemech]

I am evaluating Crystal Reports XI Developer edition and have found a very annoying problem. It takes about 30 seconds to run the Load() method of the ReportDocument object in C# when connecting the crystal report to a dataset object. There is no delay at all when using the Crystal 9 version that comes with .NET 2003. Has anyone seen this problem or have any ideas? I have searched business objects web and Google as well and have not been able to resolve this. I have installed and tested this on two different pc’s and the symptom stays the same.

Example code with 2 column, 0 row DataSet –-

DataSet ds = new dsTest();
ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();
frmCRTest crForm = new frmCRTest();

// THE NEXT LINE TAKES ~ 30 SEC. TO LOAD.
rpt.Load( @"C:\rptTest.rpt" );

rpt.SetDataSource( ds.Tables[ 0 ] );
crForm.crViewer.ReportSource = rpt;
crForm.Show();

(This code works fine with the version of Crystal that ships with VS.NET 2003)

Any response to this? I've been having that prob for a few months after upgrading. Thanks!

After upgrading from CR 9.5 to XI, speeds dramatically slowed down. Approximmately now over a minute from 20ish secs. Nothing has changed in the reports. They do contain 15 subreports, 50 formulas and calculations, etc.

Anyone had anything similar happen?
