Hi, I've encountered the problem that Infragistics's controls break CR (crystal report) reports.
When the control (WebDataTree) is present on the page, the CrystalReportViewer doesn't build the report.
After two hours of investigation I can provide some details and I hope somebody will explain why it happens and how we can solve or workaround this problem.
CR(Crystal Reports) renders script inside div that build the report (dynamically creates html).
The piece of page related to CR without WebDataTree on the page looks as following:
div id="ctl00_Content_reportViewer" script type="text/javascript"
script type="text/javascript" <!-- bobj.crv.writeWidget( ...
But when WebDataTree is present on the page it looks as following: div id="ctl00_Content_reportViewer"
That explains why the report is not built (because script is not even launched)
The question is why Infragistics's controls do this needless work? optimization by removing line carriages?
Please comment?
Hi Alexander,
Please let me know if I could be of further assistance to you.
I just heard back from our developer and he says that none of our controls alter any HTML that is not specific to itself. You should contact the developer of Crystal Reports and give them the information you've gathered and they should be able to explain why that line of HTML is changing in their control.
If you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you.
Hi, Michael!
Are there any news regarding my issue?

Hello Alexander,
I apologize for the delay. This is a complicated issue. Thank you for taking the time to research this information. I've had to email one of our developers to have a more detailed look at what exactly is happening to the HTML. Hopefully he can respond to me by Monday so I can update you as well.
I've only noticed this issue occurring with three of our controls (WebDataMenu, WebDataTree, and WebExplorerBar). If you can use an alternative to these controls, you may want to test that out. As for a definite workaround, I haven't found anything useful other than what is posted on the following thread, which you've posted in earlier:

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Michael, are there any information on my problem?
