Crystal reports

[Jmshastri]

hello to all. I want to open a crystal report in PDF in new window. but when i click on the button, it opens in the same window. I can't use target=_blank over here, because i am writing code for generating the report in the button's handler, (or can i?) please help me in this matter.

There two options come to mind: + After you create the pdf report in the button click's handler, you can persist the document on the server side, then open the new page pointing to the pdf document. + Move your code to generate the pdf report to the page opened in the new window.

can you be more specific for first option? the code i am writing is as follows: Dim report As New Doctormaster Dim ms As System.IO.MemoryStream ms = CType(report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat), System.IO.MemoryStream) Response.ClearHeaders() Response.Clear() Response.Buffer = True Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" Try Response.BinaryWrite(ms.ToArray) Response.End() Catch err As Exception Response.Write("< BR >") Response.Write(err.Message.ToString) End Try

I mean once you have the report in the ms object, you can save this stream to file on the server side instead of writing it out to the output stream of the Response object. And what you might need to do next is to emit the client side script to open the new window with a link pointing to the saved file.

The following is code to open a new window from code behind. Put this in the event handler for button click. Dim strPop As String = "" & vbCrLf _ & "window.open('crystalreports.aspx','Report');" & vbCrLf _ & "" & vbCrLf Page.RegisterStartupScript("Pop", strPop) - बुरा जो देखण मै चला, बुरा न िमलया कोय, जो मन खोजा आपणा तो मुझसे बुरा न कोय। Translation
