Crystal Reports - Use Crystalreportviewer To Display .rpt's?
Oct 7, 2010
I've been trying to build a simple vb.net app that basically displays already built .rpt reports in a crystalreportviewer. No matter how many times I try to code it, I run into problems. Some reports have worked, others have thrown errors such as load report failed, invalid path, etc.. All of the reports work when I run them in crystal.
Ideally, I'm looking to just have a menu with report names, and a crystalreportviewer where the user can click a report, and the app prompts them for parameter values.
I'm currently working with crystal 9 I believe, and vs.net 2003, or I have access to 2005 as well.
I 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.
I'm creating a report where I want to send a parameter for the number of records to display (I do not want to select the number of records in SQL) I have created a parameter field (?topN) and set the group to use this value which in design mode works well however when I try to set this parameter in vb.net code it does not work. The field which also displays the value shows the parameter correctly though.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with VB.NET. I have a number of Crystal Reports, each with their own associated dialog resource containing a CrystalReportViewer. The class definitions look like this:
[Code]...
I basically instantiate the dialog, set theItems to the list I want, and call ShowDialog. I now have a need to combine several of these reports into one report (possibly like this) but the code that loads up the fields in the report is in the dialog. How would I go about decoupling the report initialization from the dialog?
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 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?
How can I connect to a Crystal Reports 4.6 report that connects to SQL Server 2005 as a data source, using Visual Basic?I don't want to specify the connection string in the report. I want to pass the connection from VB. Is there any way to do this?
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:
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 already installed crystal reports in my vb 2010. (i got it from the sap website) but crystal reports won't appear in the toolbar. i could add a new report, but i can't put it in my design form cause just like what i said, there's no crystal reports in the toolbox. i already checked crystal reports in the customize button of toolbar, but still it won't appear.
I want to create a Crystal Report for particular engineer installation details. In that report I want to show to no of installation details for particular engineer.Report model looks like this:
totalnoofinstallation assignto c_address c_mobileno package_det frm_date to_date 3 FE01 Ramnagar 232345 xx 25-04-2012 05-04-2012 SQL Server table data look like this:
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.
I am in the process of creating a reporting module. I am stumped on trying to load a report from an existing saved report with an OpenFileDialog. The report that is selected will not load into the CrystalReportViewer. I receive the following error:
Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tripMenuItem.Click ' Open an existing report file.
I have within it several Crystal Reports utilizing the CR viewer, but when I package everything it won't work on the machine is it installed on. I get an error that reports a problem with cyrstal! I tried unistalling and reinstalling with a new build etc.
I am struggling to get my Crystal Reports to show . While i am debugging, the reports are working, but when i run the compiled program, it gives a error and the program stops working.
I am implementing multithreading to show crystal Reports with Crystal Report Viewer, Done that successfully, but the form loaded is closing automatically, when I did not implement multithreading for the same I did not find any problem. The Code I am calling the reports is
objForm.ViewReport("~PathCrystalReports" & _ReportName, , _parameters) objForm.Show() ViewReport Calls a form - frmViewReport which has CrystalReportViewer
I have a program that uses crystal reports and sql database. When I right click and try to click report in my program on my formreportviewer I get this error.
Conversion to "" to type integer is not valid.I have been looking for days. How can I find where this error is happening??
