Showing DataTable in Table format in Crystal Reports

Hello,

I am using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008, and using C# to
program the application.

I am using a dynamically created DataTable as a Data Source for a Crystal Report. Everything is working as it should, except that it shows only one row per page in my report. I have the Database Fields in the Details section, but I have "NewPageAfter" and "NewPageAfter" set to false.

How do I output a DataTABLE in TABLE format? It seems like it should be so easy.

Thanks.

Pull in the field in the detail section and display data in it! They act as the table. Design the table as you want (columns and arrangement)

Dropping the fields in Detail section should do the job for you. Have a look at this article:Crystal Reports and Reporting Services[^]

I only have Pointer, Text Object, Line Object, and Box Object in my toolbox. Can't find Table in toolbox Items.

Also, I'm not using the text box, I'm clicking and dragging on the Columns from Field Explorer->DatabaseFields->MyDataTable->Column

This is what I've been doing all along. My problem is that it shows ONE record per page. I have read your article, and my setup looks identical to the one there.

If you right click the detail section in which you had put up the fields, there would be 'Section expert'. In that, there must be an option of 'Keep Together' - tick it. Try this!

This was already checked, lol. Thanks for your help Sandeep. I'm going to continue the quest for the truth tomorrow, as work is done now.

It was checked in the property window, but not the right-click formatting options. Odd.
