Hi,

I've created one crystal report in windows form and one crystalreportviewer. The following is my code.

C#

//in form1.cs file
try
{
ExportOptions CrExportOptions;
DiskFileDestinationOptions CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
PdfRtfWordFormatOptions CrFormatTypeOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "c:\\csharp.net-informations.pdf";
CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
{
 CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
 CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
 CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
 CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
}
 cryRpt.Export();
}

Above code is saving the file into pdf into specified path. I dont want to save a file I should get direct print preview and have a option to print.

As we do in web application using crystal report viewer clicking print and report will be opened in pdf and the click print.

I want the same function as we do in web application. I am writing code in C#.Net

Hope the above explaination will be understood clearly.

Do you want us to write the code for you, or are you stuck on some as-yet unrevealed aspect of your code?

You can export a crystal report to a memory pdf this way in ASP.Net:

MemoryStream oStream; // using System.IO
oStream = (MemoryStream)
report.ExportToStream(
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer= true;
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray());
Response.End();

If you are using windows forms, you need to use the crystal report viewer control. Here is a tutorial on how to use that control:
