How to work with multiple subReports in a MainReport in Crystalreports

Question

I have created a Main report in CrystalReports in an ASP.Net Webform(Visual Studio 2010) and want to add links to multiple fields in the MainReport table, each of which should open as a subReport. I was using the IsPostBack property while trying to view a single subreport. However on doing so i could not get back the MainReport on clicking the MainReport tab in the form once IsPostBack became true. What is the logic i can use to link my subReports to the desired data and how can i view back the MainReport again?

Please give me an idea, since i'm new to C# programming and CrystalReports too.
Please feel free to ask about any doubts or specifications. I've been trying this for over a week now.. still no luck!

Thanks Vipin for the videos. Seeing the 1st video a very subtle way out occurred to me which i dont know why i've been overlooking all this while!! I had actually created 2 Webforms, one with methods calling storeprocs to get data for both the MainReport n the SubReport and the other for only the SubReport(which is the mainReport there). All this while i had been trying to show my subReport in the same form only. But now i tried to use the other Webform by selecting "Choose a Crystal Report in project" n selecting da other CrystalReport as the subReport, which will be displayed in the Webform2.

the main report runs fine as usual... but unfortunately when i click da subreport link the same old Logon failed. Error in File CrystalReport3 {0254DEFD-251F-4E70-8746-DE5AE5FBFC4F}.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. shows again. And CrystalReport3 is my report for the MainReport which shows the MainReport allright.[I haveremoved the subReport section from CrystalReport3 n commented out da code for it in da 1st Webform1.aspx.csfile].
Onclicking da subReport link da other CrystalReport which contains da subreport can't be loaded! Can u suggest anything??
