I'd like to be able to create, name and store individualized reports (school report cards, actually) with VB.Net and Crystal Reports using data from our SQL database.
It would be even better to be able to automatically generate individualized e-mails using e-mail addresses stored in the database, attaching the aforementioned PDF reports and sending them off.
I currently have a simple crystal reports application which generates a crystal report and in the built in viewer provided by VS2005. There is a drop down where you can select options to change the criteria of the report. I wish to convert this app to a windows executable which will take all those select options and generates pdfs based on the crystal report. the executable will be triggered by windows task scheduler...or maybe command line app?
Obviously this will be somewhat of a re-write. What would be the best way to start this as? a crystal report application or a windows application.
tell me wat is the difference between crystal reports created in vb and in vb.net??how to create crystal reports in vb??
View 1 RepliesI am working on VB.NET(Visual studio 2008)..I completed developing my application and i need to deploy the application. I tried it and faced problems in some areas like adding crystal reports to the setup and deployment. I created a setup file to my application and everything is fine except crystal reports...its showing the error like; An error occurred in crystalDecisions.Reports, crystalEngine threw exception.

Is it possible to create crystal reports in vb.net programatically at run time? There will be no typed dataset because I don't know what fields will need to be in it until the user clicks "Print".
View 12 RepliesI have a stored procedure that requires a DATETIME variable to display the results in crystal reports. How would I create an input text box and pass the variable to the procedure? Is it even possible to program in vb or C# in crystal reports, or do I need visual studio 2008?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 or more reports and I want to be able to open them in a single report. Let's call it the master report. In this report I want to open several reports, that are independent one to another. I'm using this code to generate the raports:
Dim crDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim dt As New DataTable
[code]....
With this code I rewrite the datasource of the raport, and I can filter the query by the 'param' variable in the query.After setting the datasource of the report i can save the raport:
crDocument.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.RichText, "C: emp.rtf")
into rtf, pdf, etc. I want to append more of these reports into a master empty report. Or load these reports as subreports into a master empty report.
I have developed a vb.net application. My application offers some reporting facilities like sales report etc...I have generated the report by using the dataset option i.e. setting the dataset to be the source for the crystal report. I just want my application to print the report when the user clicks the "generate report" button on the Windows Form.

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 6 RepliesI 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'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?

View 1 RepliesI 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?
