crystal-reportsvisual studio 2010

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and already downloaded CR (Crystal Reports) but when I search for Crystal Reports viewerin the tool, does not exist, so how can I display my report that is already created?

The CrystalReport Viewer control is a .Net assembly. By default, when you create a new .net 4 Windows Form application, it uses the .net 4 Client Profile framework, not the standard .net 4 framework. After I converting the project to the standard framework, the Crystal Report Viewer control becomes available under the Reports section.

To view this tool you must change the build configuration of your project.

1) Select a project node in Solution Explorer.

2) On the Project menu, click Properties. When the Project Designer appears, click the Compile tab.

3) On the Compile Page, Project Designer (Visual Basic), select the Configuration and Platform. In simplified build configurations, the Configuration and Platform lists are not displayed. For more information, see Debug and Release Project Configurations.

4) Click Advanced Compile Options.

5) Change Target framework (all configurations): .NET Framework 4
