C# and Crystal Report

Hi C#Sharp and Crystal Report Guru,

Please help or guide me on my problem regarding passing a datasource to crystal report.

Scenario:
Crystal Report files are created and pointed to a Database View (ie VW_DATA)

Problem:
Using CrystalReportViewer and ReportDocument, how to dynamically point a ReportDocument to use different database VIEW aside from using the VW_DATA?


Please help me on this one.


Thanks heaps Gurus!

I hope this will be of some help to you, please visit this site, and let me know if it helps! I'm not too familiar with Crystal Reports, but if you ever have any questions regarding SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) as a Crystal Reports alternative, feel free to message me.

Regards,
Quinn

If this helps, please rate up!

thanks for the reply quinn. i will check on the site.

hi quinn,

the solution on the site didn't worked. the ReportDocument is still pointing on the view which was used during during the design time.

to add further info, is there a way to dynamically change the table.LogOnInfo.TableName ?

ie:

Code:

---

table.LogOnInfo.TableName = "dynamic view or tablename"

In leiu of that question, from that link I gave,

Code:

---

private void AssignConnectionInfo(ReportDocument document,ConnectionInfo crConnection)
    {
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in document.Database.Tables)
        {
            TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            if (logOnInfo != null)
            {
                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(table.LogOnInfo);
                table.LogOnInfo.TableName = table.Name;
                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = crConnection.UserID;
                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = crConnection.Password;
                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = crConnection.DatabaseName;
                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = crConnection.ServerName;

                CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Add(table.LogOnInfo);

            }
        }
    }

Apparently, according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.80).aspx, that TableName is just passed as a "String*".
