When you run this program you will get the PDF file (crystalExport.pdf) in your computer's C: Next time When i run this program it will overwrite.Is any solution for this?

Give dynamic path. Like concatenating current date time with file name. Ex. Report_20_12_2011_05_25_20.rpt

It's quite easy: all you have to do is get a new instance of a crystalreport object

Dim rpt as new CrystalReport1

Set the necessary properties, like datasource, SelectionFormula, etc.
Then call the Export method as follows:

rpt.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "Report.pdf")
