    Hi All, I am working newly on Crystal Reports with C# for a Desktop Application and its my first experience for both the reports and desktop application. I created a simple pie generating report.Everything is working fine. The only problem I feel is everything with designing of reports can be done on design time only...is it so or am I wrong..? 1] Also I wanted to change the Label generated and place my own.Right now the label displayed on Pie is something like "Distinct.Count.TrialTable" i.e. the formula I use for generating the Pie. Can I change it ..if so how..? 2] Also I want to display the charttype based on user selection...like if user wants pie, it should be pie or if user wants bar ..it should display bar...as we do it in Chart Expert ..wherein we select the chart type. Can this be done dynamically ..like if I take a dropdown list and allow user to select the type of graph...the same should be dynamically selected and displayed..how to achieve this..is there any provision for this...or will I have to go by making different report files and calling the same on user selection..? How should I go about it..?? Hope I am clear with my question..!

      Have you tried asking this question in Crystal support forums. I know it is a negative response but the deveolpment experience with CR is so bad that most of us have moved to another reporting platform. You will almost certainly not get a positive response from a general development forum (CP) for a 3rd party product (Crystal), especially when the product is such a POS.

              We use sql server reporting services and I beleive DevExpress have a good report tool. SSRS comes with SQL Server but you can embed a report in your app without installing the full reporting services.
