WPF cannot use (built-in) export button to save .xlsx file with picture in CrystalReportsViewer

I am developing a WPF application (Visual Studio 2019 V16.11.17) and use CrystalReportsViewer to preview the report with a picture in it. When I click at built-in export button in CrystalReportsViewer and select type "Microsoft Excel (XLSX) (*.xlsx)" and save, the application closed unexpectedly without any error or exception even I already tried to caught unhandled exception. How do I fix this? and how to get error info?

In App.xaml file:

DispatcherUnhandledException="Application_DispatcherUnhandledException"

In App.xaml.cs file:

private void Application_DispatcherUnhandledException(object sender, System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Error" + Environment.NewLine + e.Exception.Message, "Error");
    e.Handled = true;
}

In MainWindow.xaml.cs file:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;
}

private static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
    Debug.Print(e.ToString());
}

Preview crystal report code:

_report = new ReportDocument();
_report.Load("Path to CrystalReport.rpt");
_report.SetDataSource(dataTable);

ViewerCore view = crystalReportViewer1.ViewerCore;
view.ReportSource = _report;

It's a limitation of crystal reports that you can only export data only to excel. Pictures, not being data, will result in unpredictable results.

Options include:

• Choose one of the export formats that supports pictures, such as pdf

• Remove the picture

• Use a different reporting provider.

Since crystal reports is not supported in recent versions of visual studio, you might want to consider a different reporting approach now for longer term support.

Edit

If your users particularly like their data in reports you could maybe consider excel based reporting and xslt. I had to do this one place I worked back in 2009 to give users spreadsheets with calculations in them. It was easier than I thought ( start with a formatted xslx spreadsheet ).
The user departments were very pleased and it's been an approach I've used successfully a few times since.

No need to use a different reporting provider.
At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Viewers listed here supports exporting reports to .xlsx as a regular export rather than as a Data Only export.
