1. Design the UI
2. On button click, store the text of the textbox as a parameter to DB or Report
3. One way - Use the parameter in report to get data. Query would be written such that it takes that parameter as input and the result would be used as a dataset for report
Other way - pass the parameter to database and get the desired result using that parameter from DB, pass this result dataset as an input to Crystal report.
