When I try to bind data to a Crystal Report reader through a view using MVC architecture, I get an error, such as "Programming Error" in the Crystal report viewer. What could be causing this?
Are you sure Crystal Viewer works in MVC? I would guess it doesn't work, as it is (possibly) asp.net control (not MVC).
Crystal Report doesn't work with MVC. If you want to show Crystal Report with your MVC app you need to add a page .aspx and then you can use Crystal Report with your MVC app.
