Hi all.

what is the starting point ? please help and note that I can't use third party components..

If you are looking to display and format data returned from a recordset, search this site or CodeProject for articles (there are several useful ones) about using a list control with report style.

I thought Crystal Reports was a 3rd party component...

It is, but it's not a Microsoft product. Even if it was, a MS product would be third party to you, no?

Argh, but this isn't helping you. If you can use Crystal, then I say go for it.

There are Crystal Reports samples in MSDN.

"Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET"
"Samples"

From the Table of Contents in the MSDN Library:

Code:

".NET Development"
    "Visual Studio .NET"
        "Product Documentation"
            "Developing with Visual Studio .NET"
                "Designing Distributed Applications"
                    "Crystal Reports"

Given the dependence of CRYSTALDECISIONS.CRYSTALREPORTS.ENGINE.DLL on MSCOREE.DLL, that would seem to be the case...

I use CR with Visual C++ 6.0 and I don't use CR Active X viewer because it does not export correct the reports.
Instead, I access the reports preview using "cpeaut32.h" (ICRApplication, ICRReport, ICRView etc.).
I need to pass some parameters at runtime to the report, but I couldn't find a way. There is a an interface ICRParameterFieldDefinition but i couldn't figure how to use it.
It would be very helpful an advice or example about how can I can do this.
