I want to have at least a better way to load my crystal report in my c# windows form by not using a long file path.

What I have tried:

So I tried implementing the long file path which is:

C#

inv.Load(@"C:\Users\jonat\onedrive\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\FunctionApp\FunctionApp\InventoryReport.rpt");

I also tried this:

C#

inv.Load(Path.GetDirectoryName("InventoryReport.rpt"));

Also this one:

C#

inv.Load(Application.StartupPath + "InventoryReport.rpt");

None of the two worked, I also tried the file path with ("~\\") but also didn't worked

Define “didn’t work”.

Path.GetDirectoryName("InventoryReport.rpt") will return an empty string, because the path you've passed in doesn't contain a directory.

Perhaps you meant Path.GetFullPath("InventoryReport.rpt") instead?
