ok now let me get this straight u need to load some report of urs right well my friend hers what u have to do for that
once u have configured ur crystal report all u have to do is take another form drag and drop a crystal report viewer on that form now u have to configure ur crystal report viewer for the viewing of the desired report, for that crystal report viewer component has a property called as Report Source once u click on it it will give u a set of report which u have in ur application select the desired report and ur done.
Now u must have a question for configuring the report for display well my friend crystal report component does all that by itself and dont worry at all regarding the setup and all crystal report will work fine if and only if u have designed and configured the report as per ur requirements otherwise u can also convert the crystal report into PDF format if ur still having doubt regarding crystal report once the report is converted into PDF format u can easily dispaly the PDF file with the help of a COM component the two namespaces for converting crystal report to pdf are
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
and hers the link that will guide u in converting a crystal report into PDF format
CRYSTAL REPORT INTO PDF FORMAT[
^]
in the above link u will come across a line of code which says
cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
well nothing to worry about just add in the path where ur crystal report is for example say ur crystal report is in D drive in a folder called negi and the nae of ur report is Myreport.rpt so u can modify the code and write
cryRpt.Load(@"D:\negi\Myreport.rpt");
thats it
Remember the above code is in C# i feel u can easily convert it into VB.NET
Please Rate my answer once u find it useful
Thanks & Regards
