I am using crystal reports for visual studio 2010. In a website I developed a report which get displayed on a button click through crystal report viewer. When I try to export using export button by default it shows name or ID of my crystal report viewer For e.g. My name of Crystal report viewer Control is Reportviewer it displays name as Reportviwer.pdf or .xls. I want to set name dynamically how can I achieve this? Thanks in advance

Code:

C#

ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();

string report = "reportLocation";

cryRpt.Load(Server.MapPath(report));

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;

Thank you very much for your effort plz do me a favor can you paste property here i m unable to open that link

Below I have pasted the content of link. Basically you need to change ID of CrystalReportViewer dynamically.

Crystal Reports is generally pretty useful, it's a shame some of the more common development tasks have not been exemplified by the creators. It's easy to think many things simply aren't possible, but with a bit of research you soon find most things are.

Setting the default filename used by the CrystalReportViewer web control is one of those things. The filename used defaults to the ID property of the viewer control, so to change it simply change the ID. You can do this declaratively:

<cr:crystalreportviewer id="MyReportName" ....="" xmlns:cr="#unknown">
or programattically:
this.CrystalReportViewer1.ID = "MyReportName";
Otherwise you're into manually coding export functions etc.

But in this solution i have to reset control name

Is there any problem to change control ID dynamically.

Madhav Hatwalne 18-Jun-13 8:40am

In my button click I update the parameter for report. After report generation i try to export then I change ID of crystal reportviwer on page_load and exported file with desired name. After this process when i again trying to generate report it gives an error. I tried to reset the ID of the control
