Database - Detect Trusted Connection In Crystal Reports ?
Mar 28, 2010
I have some Crystal Reports connecting to a Sql Server db that I would like to detect whether the connection is trusted or whether I need to supply the log on info (reports are not supplied by me so I can't control the connect method). If I just blindly supply login credentials, it won't connect if it is a trusted connection.The following does not work:
oRpt = oCR.OpenReport("C:MyReport.rpt")
if oRpt.Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties.Item("Integrated Security") = True then
'trusted connection[code]....
It gives the following error:Operator '=' is not defined for type 'IConnectionProperty' and type 'Boolean'.
I cannot find how create a construct in vb.net for IConnectionProperty. I can't find any documents from Crystal that explain it.I am using Crystal Reports XI - Developer
I'm trying to use crystal reports in my database that i have made using vb 2010 and access 07, I'm trying to make a new crystal report in vb, have gone add new item, crystal report, etc but when i go to specify the new connection using the Microsoft office 12.0 access database engine )LE DB provider i keep getting a catastrophic failure error 0x8000fff?
I use SQL server 2005 express on VS 2008 TS, I can make connection to DB from the server explorer but i cannot make connections from teh Crystal reports OLE DB connection wizard, the drop down box doesnt show my SQL server. How do i fix this?
i have a "Connection.vb" where all my Connection string stored and used by the entire program.i'm new to Crystal Reports.. and i want to changes its connection string based on the connection string i made... im using MS SQL 2008.. SQL Server Native Client 10.0 OLE DB Provider..
and here is my connection string."Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=....SQLEXPRESS;Database=Blah;Trusted_Connection=yes"
i tried to google it.. but they are using different language, different database, and complex examples.
Currently I'm working on a piece of code that involves using the Crystal Reports Viewer to export .RPT files to PDF. My problem is that the code works on literally everything except the website I'm planning to eventually put it on.
When placed on the website it throws back the error "Failed to open the connection." which I believe is connected to the SQL Server connection that's formed in order to read data for the report itself.
The code itself is solid and works when used in a separate console application I built to test it whether said code is run on my local machine or on the server itself. It even runs when I test the website in Visual Studio's virtual host.
I've narrowed it down to being some sort of permissions issue, but I am not knowledgeable enough in the various permissions settings to figure out which ones specifically apply to this situation. It's worth mentioning that other pages on the website are directly connecting to the same database, but they are doing so directly through Linq instead of going through the Crystal Report Viewer.
So does anybody know which settings I need to modify in order to fix the connection error.An added note: One of the other suggestions is to make sure there's an ODBC DNS in place that matches the one being used by the code. I have created such a DNS already.
I�m converting some Crystal reporting functions from VB 6.0 to VB .Net 2008, have reports up and running, and I�m not quite sure how to approach one aspect. The issue I have is most of the Crystal reports connect to a database and run a stored procedure. The connection properties are set up in the report usually pointing at the development region. At run time I need to be pointing to either development, user acceptance, or production. I know what environment I�m in from a configuration file but don�t know how to go about telling Crystal what environment and stored procedure to point at. In VB 6.0 it was:
CR1.Connect = "DSN=" & A.ReportServer & ";<<Use Integrated Security>>;DSQ=" & A.ReportManhattanDB Where A.ReportServer and A.ReportManhattanDB contain the connection poperties. The stored procedure is passed via:
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 have created a data source connection to an access db by using the wizard in vs2008. I have then used this as a data source for crystal reports. My user would like to put the database on a network and reference it there. Is there a way to set a new path for this data source during runtime?
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??
I am trying to generate crystal reports from visual studio..net 2008 and my database is created using SQL server management studio express 2005. I am getting login errors when using the OLE DB for SQL Server source. In studio express I use SQL server and windows authentication and I have tried leaving the user ID and password blank and putting in my login details but still getting the error. I have enabled multiple connections to the database.
I'm trying to make alterations to an existing Crystal Report form in a VB.net project I've inherited, and it's my first time using Crystal Reports. For clarity, I'm using Crystal Reports under Visual Studio 2010, not the standalone Crystal Reports.I've had a good go at looking through all the functions and variables listed in the CR Designer, and can't find what stored procedure is being used to call for data.
I'm using crystal reports 9, visual studio 2008, and oracle 9i in this project I'm doing. My crystal reports pull data from an oracle database, and are displayed on a CrystalReportViewer on a windows form. How would I make this connection using vb.net code?[code]...
I have deployed a Visual Studio executible module written in VB Net 3.5 SP 1 with Crystal Reports. When the user tries to view a report(s)they are prompted to login in to the data base that has been data sourced into the report module. The correct database was verified before the build was made. The developer is able to run the report in a run mode on the local machine where the VB project was created. In the properties section in the project the following check boxes pertaining to reports were checked on:
Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008(x86, x64) Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer
Notes: If the executible module is deployed to a machine that has Visual Studio 2008 installed, the Reports run fine without a database login prompt.If the executible module is deployed to a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed, the user is prompted for a login. The data base is a SQL server 2008 database.
how to create a setup in vb.net that comes with a ms access database and the .net framework if it is not existing in the system.. and also a crystal report... and also i want my database go automatically to C:
I am creating a visual basic project for class. It is all running as intended though I am not sure how to set up the login to database function. When you click the link for the specific report it should display the page. But I get a login to database page. I am just wondering how I set that up so that one can actually see the information. ie:
How do I open my Crystal Report in VB code (RPT files) on password-protected Access 2007 database? Ever since I protected my database with password, my Crystal Report generates an error.
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 having problem with the connection between an access database and crystal report. I created a crystal report by using wizard, all working go, but when I run the program in another computer am getting some error on path..wrong path for the database. So I need to find a way to connect database with the crystal report using a relative path...
I have few crystal 10 reports with default to a server & database during crystal design time (server=SRV1, DB=Pub1). And, i calling these report from VB. net application with a config.ini define my server & DB . Recently,i hv clone the same reports but extract from different server & Database name (Server=Srv2,DB=Pub2, the tables & fields are still same ) i have created a config.ini which contain my server, database, uid & pwd. And, when i execute these cloned report , they still point back to the origin server which was server=SRV1, DB=Pub1.
My coding :-
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Server=.\SQLEXPRESS;uid=;pwd=;database=ContactManager") sqlConn.Open()
Above is my connection string, The programs runs up until sqlConn.Open() and then i get the same error, using no UID and Pass, or using a uid and pass.
Login Failed For User ''. The user is not associated with a trusted sql server connection
I have the SQL Servers authentication se to Windows Authentication and SQL Authentication. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
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.
