Answer 1

For showing crystal report on Winform, you may add the Crystal Viewer from the toolbox on the form and set the crystal report against it.

Please see: Displaying Crystal Reports using WinForms and C#

but if you want to host a WPF control in Winform then you can use ElementHost

A Windows Forms control that can be used to host a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) element.

Answer 2

you dont need a windows forms host in winforms - thats just for backwards compatibility in WPF just add the reference to crytal reports and place the control on your form
