Runtime Better - Crystal Reports

Here’s a showing how to load and set a database connection for a Crystal Reports report at runtime in a .NET application (C#):

// Assign to CrystalReportViewer crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report; crystal reports runtime

// Set parameters if needed report.SetParameterValue("@StartDate", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30)); report.SetParameterValue("@EndDate", DateTime.Now); Here’s a showing how to load and set

// Set database logon info ConnectionInfo connInfo = new ConnectionInfo(); connInfo.ServerName = "YOUR_SQL_SERVER"; connInfo.DatabaseName = "YourDatabase"; connInfo.UserID = "yourUser"; connInfo.Password = "yourPassword"; connInfo.ServerName = "YOUR_SQL_SERVER"

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; using CrystalDecisions.Shared; // Load the report ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument(); report.Load(@"C:\Reports\MyReport.rpt");

Requires CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.Shared DLLs (SAP Crystal Reports runtime for .NET).

// Apply to all tables foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in report.Database.Tables) { TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo; logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connInfo; table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo); }
