The new project should just have been a class library - if it generated a web.config then it sounds as if you chose a web based type.
Anyway - did you remember to register the Crystal project with the main one?

And to clarify : the parameter to the Assembly.Load should be the name of the assembly (i.e. the DLL file) and the parameter to CreateInstance is the fully-qualified class name. But since, when you create a project, the assembly name and default namespace are the same this shouldn't be an issue unless you changed it.

Store the string representing AssemblyName.ClassName in the DB - parse out the assembly name for use in the first line.
