Active / Crystal Reports & End-User Designers
Apr 1, 2009
I've been doing research on reporting suites for a project my company is about to undertake, and have narrowed the candidates down to Active Reports and Crystal Reports. During the demo yesterday, it was clarified to me that one of the capabilities our client would like is the ability for the end-user to create custom reports integrated into the Web-Based client. I know that both packages have options for integrating an end-user designer to a WinForms based app, but I can't find a definitive straight yes or no answer for either suite as to whether or not it's possible to attach them to an ASP.Net based app.

i added the COM reference to:Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 9.0 i have some code that prints a crystal report:
'print report
Dim Appl As New CRAXDRT.Application
Dim CrystalReport As New CRAXDRT.Report
[code]....
Code works fine on my Windows 7 64 bit computer because I have Crystal Reports 9 installed on that computer but i want this to work on other computers that don't have Crystal installed.I have published my app and installed it on another Windows 7 64 bit computer and it doesn't work.I think i need to have the craxdrt.dll install and register on the users computer.
how can i include this in my setup? I already include the Interop.CRAXDRT.dll when i publish (publish status: INCLUDE/Download Group: Required/Hash: Include) but it doesn't make a difference.i am using vb.net 2010 express?

I have the following Query:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Muffins
WHERE OvenLoadId IN (
SELECT OvenLoadId
[code]....
The idea of the query is that I want to specify an OrderId, and I want all Oven Loads that have items from that order in them, as well as ALL OTHER ITEMS in those loads, even though they could be from other orders.The query works as expected, but I'm not able to use it for my Crystal Report I've written it for.I have put this query into a User Defined Function, however I'm unable to use a call to that function as a table source in my Crystal Report. I am using Visual Studio 2003 (I know it is old, the client refuses to upgrade).

I am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?

I'm writing a report in VB .NET (using Active Reports) that displays details about a location, and then displays a bunch of images, which are stored in a database. The images are displayed in my main report via a subreport. However, I can't get the images to load. I have two files, the main report (rptMain) and the image subreport (rptSubImages). The sub Detail1_Format in the rptSubImages never gets ran, which is why the images are not appearing, and I can't figure out why! I've included the code below... can anyone pinpoint why my subreport detail section isn't getting called? The rptSubImages report gets initialized, but if I put a stop point inside the detail sub, it never gets caught during debug.

Im trying to detect if an active report has been closed to close the "main form". Basically what im doing is populating an active report from parameters passed to the main form then the active report is populated, once the active report is closed i want the form to be closed. However, i have not been able to find an event that will close both. Unless i close the mainfrom which inturn closes the active report, which i want to happen opposite.

I am preparing crystal reports using vb.net 2008 with ms sql server 2005.everything is showing fine.. except that i want my report to be multiple column... I cant do this using "format multiple column" option because the data is not shown in details section. Actually i need to group the data in data.
e.g: i am preparing a warehouse report to know how much quantity of which products are left, products with 0 (zero) value are not displayed..
I want my reports to be as follows: item1 item_quantity item2 item_quantity item3 item_quantity

I've got an intranet based reporting tool (VB.Net + ASP.Net Integrated Windows Authentication) that looks up users and managers from a SQL Server 2005 table to roll up the reporting to manager level. This table is currently manually maintained and I've been asked to make it more dynamic as it is going to be up-scaled for far more users. Therefore I'm looking to link in with the Active Directory to create an Org table in the back end which will replace the current manually entered one.I'm comfortable getting user data from the AD, but not so sure as to the best approach to set this up, I was thinking of the following table:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employees
(
EmpID nvarchar(8) PRIMARY KEY,
EmpName nvarchar(30),
[code]...
EmpID will be the NetworkID (sAMAccountName).Then this will need populating from the AD, I'm guessing through recursive calls to fill in the fields. I'm then not sure how to structure the code so that it will capture every employee under every manager starting at a given level. I'm currently using the below to capture the direct reports for a given manager:
Public Function GetDirectReports(ByVal ADFullName As String) As ArrayList
Dim adItems As ArrayList = New ArrayList
Dim rootEntry As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & ADFullName)
[code]...

I'm using VS 2008 to develop a solution which will report on data mostly contained in SQL Express databases, across two servers. It will be used by up to about 10 XP clients. I am unfamiliar with the Reports Applications. Will I need to buy extra licenses to use a Crystal Reports application? Why are they both included in VS? What is the basic difference between them?

I am working on Windows Forms Projects.I am creating a report for customers.The report data is pulled from a "CustomerDetails" table.A field in the table is called "CustPhotoName", this holds a string which relates to an image file.
I Currently have a report set up which runs for a single customer by passing in a customer ID. Then using the passed in ID to populate a Dataset with an ImageRow and then a sub report with the image from the dataset.
I am wanting to set up this report where I can pass in an array of customer IDs and produce the reports (1 page per customer with image (if CustPhotoName has value))

I have created reports using Crystal Reports in my asp.net application(vb). It was fine. But when I run it in another system, the report loading fails. So I modified my code like this.
sub Loadreport()
try
Dim sreport as new ReportDocument
sreport.Load(Server.MapPath("ClientList.rpt"))
[code]....
When the control comes to the line:-
sreport.Load(Server.MapPath("ClientList.rpt"))
it jumps to the catch block showing "Invalid Report path". But initially, the code was not showing any error. I haven't changed the path.

I made a program in VB .net 2008 that has a form in which there is a Crystal Report Viewer object. Here is some code:
[Code]...
1. Some reports show tens and hundreds of thousands or records (they are required to do so, so no work-around is possible), thus the time it takes for the Crystal Report Viewer control to actually show the report is very long. I would like to display like a waiting dialog window WHILE the report is loading its records telling the user to wait for it to load.
2. Another idea would be to show the number of records currently loaded (and continuously updated as the report loads them) from the total number. This is actually shown in my reports when i open them with Crystal Reports 10, but NOT with the Viewer control on the form! How can i make it show this?

Since there doesn't seem to be any way to load old VB6 (ActiveReports) reports in .Net, I need to recreate dozens of reports in .Net. I'd like to do this in the least painful way possible.In VB6, the original authors simply did something like this for every report:
adoConn.ConnectionString = globalConnectionObject.ConnectionString
adoConn.Source = ReportFunctions.GetAllUsers()
GetAllUsers() returns an SQL string which selects a bunch of fields; those fields are then used in the report.Now:How can I do something similar in .Net (either using the built-in Crystal Reports, or the built-in "Microsoft Reporting Technology")?I can't get "Database Expert" to recognize globalConnectionObject (an ADODB.Connection object); and if I fill a dataset and do
report.SetDataSource(dataSet)
It tells me "The report has no tables."How do I populate a Crystal Reports report!? (the connection string/data location is not known at compile time)

I've recently made the switch from the Data Report to Crystal Reports 10. I've rewritten the reports our software uses and they are working fine in a nominal reports location.I have heard that Crystal Reports can be compiled into a single executable file which can be called through vb.net, rather than loading the report from a location.

I want to create a report based on some criterias such as dates or names. For example, the user will select the dates from a combo box above and the report to be displayed in some type of container such as a panel for example. Is that possible? My software is like some inventory program, basically just counting no of items in the container and the ones that were delivered. Then at the end of the report, I need to mention the number of items that are still in th container and the ones that were delivered.
