How to Print Using Crystal Reports

This tutorial is part of Database Programming Made Easy Series.

How to Print Using Crystal Reports

Somebody is asking if I can add sample on how to print a report. So here it is. I just tweak some little changes from our previous tutorial on Windows Forms – CheckBox Control.

I did not test this from other computer so if you encounter problem on the database location just change the report data source to the directory where you save this files.

I am using c# vs 2008 and Crystal Reports. In the preview there is no problem, but then when I run the program, I can't see the report because it ask for login. I don't have user and password. I have been searching for a long, but I coudn't find anything. my mail is [email protected] Thanks for any help Florencia

Hi, It is likely the username and pwd of your sql server needs to be provied to view your report. In the codeview you can set the databaselogon details which will bypass the logon page and displays the report directly. exg: MyCrReport crReportObj = new MyCrReport(); crReportObj.SetDatabaseLogon("sa", "sa", "ADPL-BLR119", "northwind"); CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportObj; Hope this may fix your problem. Thanks, Bala.

I have been try for days to load mysql field data onto a crystal report using vb.net on vs 2008 but to no avail. I keep getting the report with just the field headings but no field data at runtime. Upon previewing (not at runtime) I get some unknown data showing under my field headings. I have tried almost all the posts on the internet. What do I do now? This is my code: Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Imports System.Data.Odbc Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient Public Class reporter 'Dim custReport As CrystalReport1 Dim myReport As New ReportDocument Dim myData As New DataSet1 Dim conn As New MySqlConnection Dim cmd As New MySqlCommand Dim myAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter Private Sub reporter_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load conn.ConnectionString = "server=localhost;uid=root; pwd=; database=boutique" Try conn.Open() cmd.CommandText = "Select CatName As Category, Quantity from ttbcategory" cmd.Connection = conn myAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd myAdapter.Fill(myData) myReport.Load("C:\Users\Shengbelen\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1\CrystalReport2.rpt") myReport.SetDataSource(myData) CReportViewer.ReportSource = myReport Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Report could not be created", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) End Try End Sub End Class The above code is for my form with the crystalReportViewer The following code is for my print command. Private Sub PrintCtrlPToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintCtrlPToolStripMenuItem.Click reporter.ShowDialog() End Sub Please help Eric

hi, just want to ask if you know how to get other data from a table.Example, when i click a value from a combo box it should automatically output the other data like the values in the combo box are subject codes,if i choose 1 subject it should output the subject title,units,..etc.. tnx

Your question seems not clear. Do you mean a one-to-many relationship? Like after selecting a value from a combobox another data will appear in the datagrid?

Yes you can as long as you know the method. For your reference please read this: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php#72955. I always use pdf as a reporting tool for my PHP script so I cannot really give you an idea on how to do this.
