Introduction

After I wrote my article about "How to use Crystal Report in .NET", I received several emails about it. Some of you wanted me to make a complete example and explain it more.

Now I have created an example for those who want to know more about using Crystal Report in C#.NET or VB.NET.

My example is designed in Visual Studio.NET 2003 and I'll make another one in Visual Studio .NET 2005 as soon as possible.

Now if you are ready, just follow me and send me your ideas at the end!

Hi,
I have a question about crystal report in visual studio 2008. I use object crystal report viewer for show my report:
 
crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = reportDocument;
crystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = report.ParameterFields;
crystalReportViewer.Refresh();
 
When I change parameter of report on user interface , memory of program is increase about 3-5 MB. How can I clean old data before change parameter ? I don't know where is data of report. Thanks so much!

Very nice article and example. One thing I wanted to know, can we setup an application so that "Father"(in the sample) can use the application himself and not ask "son" to create reports for him.

Meaning we create an application for him so he selects the dates, employees himself and create reports?

I would like to see a sample in 2005 as I use VS2005, CR 2008 with Informix database using ODBC connection.

Great Work overall!

Keep it up

Regards

I have compiled the sample code but when I click the print button to see the crystal report a MessageBox apears which contains the following message: "absolute path information is required" I have the same problem in my own soloution.the code seems to be in order you described in your document. Kind Regards, Maryam Kasravi

Dear Friend; In my point of view, this problem may be occurred from 2 ways: 1) Your Crystal Report has not been installed thoroughly. 2) You didn't bind your DataSet to your report correctly. Be Happy! Shahab Fatemi.

I thought this article a very good one. I will see if I can add the database scripts so that it would be even easier for the people that are new on this subject. (I'm bit of a lazy myself sometimes). Very good Shahab Fatemi, Congratulations for the good work.;P Hare Krishna

Hi, I'm not so good in Crystal Report, but after going through your articles, somehow I understand. May be I would go into details and find myself about the benefit of it. Thanks for the great article.
