I am passing datetime from textbox (on button click) and passing it to the crystal report:

Code:

C#

ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
      cryRpt.Load("E:\\Developing\\ReportsDB\\CrystalReport4.rpt");
      DateTime datefilter = Convert.ToDateTime(TextBox1.Text);
      cryRpt.SetParameterValue("orderdated", datefilter);
      CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;

Error:

C#

A string is required here. Details: errorKind Error in File CrystalReport4 {AA07EFE4-73A5-4C0A-9198-1AEFCD0CB55F}.rpt: Error in formula Record_Selection: '{Command.date} = {?orderdated}' A string is required here. Details: errorKind

I have filtered by Name(String) but for Date it is giving this Error.

I think you need to pass a string, and not a DateTime object.

Try this,

C#

// take it as a string, 
string datefilter = TextBox1.Text;
// pass it, 
cryRpt.SetParameterValue("orderdated", datefilter);

I have solved it, i was making mistake while writing formula in crystal report:
it is now :

{Command.date} = {?Orderdate}

and correct.
