Solution 1

I all report contains same data then u can filter report as per parameter. Or if data is different in reports then call reports as per selection of report at runtime and bind that report to report viewer.

Different Report layout and Data... The User will select Report Type from my ComboBox and process.

That means that when User selects say "Per Header" and process, tblperheader.rdlc then will be the report source of the reportviewer, if the user wants General Summary Report, tblgenSum.rdlc will then be the report source of the report viewer.

You can start with crystal report tutorial for VS 2005. There is no much different between CR in VS2005 and CR in VS2008. There is a link inside to work on CR with VS2008 as well.

We've want to use CR but, other user PC requires CR version installation, as to ReportViewer which is included in the VB/VS2008 Express Installer.
