I have a problem to set the PrintDate to the report from the UI.
This functionality is working in VB6, but when it comes to VB.NET it is not working.
In VB6 we can able to access the Print Date programmatically as given below:

VB

Report.PrintDate

But where as in ReportDocument we don't have that property.

So how can we do this?

The replacement to VB6's PrintDate is a specific ParameterField
Have a look at the answer to this question[^] on another forum. It includes a demo video and a link to a code sample

try doing this-

VB

CrystalDecisions.Shared.SpecialVarType.PrintDate

Or by using RAS:

VB

CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrSpecialFieldTypeEnum.crSpecialFieldTypePrintDate
