Hey.. I dont knw wht code are you writing on the button click in report.. but for me..the graph once generated..I use the crystal report viewer's export button/image...when i click I get variety of options in which this graph can be saved...when i select Excel...it properly saves the graph in excel..! I think there must be some event which is triggered when I click the export button of viewer..if u want to code the process under a button click..u will have to trigger this event in ur button click..! We have some function like ExportReport() in Crystal Report Viewer..!

Chk this out...whenver you add database fields, there is another tab with it,if there are multiple tables...Crystal reports do auto linking...and here by default the linking is inner join...!! Sometimes this linking if not correct creates trouble..that is data is shown but graph does not generate..!generally go for a outer join or no links...whatever suitable to ur tables...! Do let me knw if ur problem is solved..!

Jimish

till what I found ... graphs take in the data that is loaded in a crystal report..! in other words graphs are drawn only after report is generated and filled with data...! So without loading the crystal report, it won't be possible to do..! [ The above reply is just based on some researches...though not sufficient...I am a noob...still in process of learning reporting .. :)]

I had tried it earlier..but it shows the following error..: Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set.

Jimish

Query input must contain at least one table or query. It shows the above error..!

Jimish

u can use something like this.. combobox1.AutoCompleteMode = AotuCompleteMode.Append;

Jimish

In the Crystal Report Viewer you have an icon ,an option to export your file...once selected you get the Export As box..where in you can select the desired format and save it to the desired location..! Why do u want to code..use it..!!

Hi, I have a combo box which I am populating dynamically using Datatables. The combobox acts as a selection point from where a user selects a value and accordingly charts are generated..! The column i am populating changes dynamically and is never the same. Now I want to add another option "ALL" in the combo box after/before I populate the combobox...such that my combo box should have all the values frm table as well as an item " ALL " I tried doing it, but it shows error. Can anyone help me out please. how should i go abt it..? I am making a Windows Application using C#. Cheers

Jimish

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..!

Jimish

Ohh great..that sounds good..if this works...as in reports and mdb both on shared folder..will solve much of my probs..thnks..!

Hi, I am not pretty sure whether this is the exact forum for my question, so if I am in the wrong one..I am sorry..! My problem : I am developing a Windows Application in C# and I have to play around with Crystal Reports. This would be my first DesktopApplication and I am really messing around. I am though fond of Web Applications. My application requires a MsAccess Database file and A crystal Report.This database file is to be kept in a shared location, from where it has to be accessed. For calling reports, I don't know how to set path. As of now I am setting the actual local path of the report on my machine where I am developing the code.. [@"C:\blah\blah\report1.rpt"] and setting this file in the reportDocument.Load(path) event. How should I go about it for setting this path as dynamic. I tried using server.mappath but there is no such method supported.How should I load report from a dynamic path into reportDocument..? Is there any other way out?? Also can I store both the crystal report files and Ms Access file, in one location and access it from my application..? Is this possible..? How should be the database file / connection string set for accessing the .mdb file on the shared folder..?? I am new to this publishing method.. so if someone can throw some light on the same ,so that I can run .exe file on any machine and can access the .mdb file from the shared server. Do post example path setting..!! Cheers..

I don't want to convert it in VB..I want to stay with C#.!

Hi Friends, I have this web application developed using ASP.NET with C#. Now I want to convert it to a desktop application i.e. a Windows Application Project. Is there any option available with the .NET framework to do so...? Any Activex Control available for the same..? Or do I have to reconstruct the whole application again..?? Regards.. Jim Jim
