The file 'CrystalReport120514test.rpt' is in solution explorer.
I tried with the follwoing:
public dynamicreporttest()
{
ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
string filePath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "CrystalReport120514test.rpt");
reportDocument.Load(filePath);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
}
private void dynamicreporttest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// this.crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
}
I get the an exception at line 'reportDocument.Load(filePath); stating 'load report failed'

in solution explorer, right click on your CrystalReport120514test.rpt file and go to properties, change copy to output directory as "copy if never" or "copy always"
build your solution and run again.
let me know the result :)

I tried both 'copy always' and copy if newer'.
For both I get exception at line 'crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument; '
as 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.

can you create break point on the line crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument; and check the value you have for filePath, copy that path and manually go and check the file exist on given path or not.

After copying how to go and check the file exist or not

S.Rajendran from Coimbatore 12-May-14 5:59am

The value in filePath shows like this:
"C:\\WindowsFormsToSqlTest\\WindowsFormsToSqlTest\\bin\\Debug\\CrystalReport120514test.rpt"

go to C:\WindowsFormsToSqlTest\WindowsFormsToSqlTest\bin\Debug\
folder and check for CrystalReport120514test.rpt

S.Rajendran from Coimbatore 12-May-14 6:08am

Yes, it is available in that path.

file name capital simple etc.. all correct?

S.Rajendran from Coimbatore 12-May-14 6:15am

Yes, capital simple etc all are correct.

I made a mistake by commenting InitializeComponent();
Now it works . Thank you.
