If I don't know the database used in the crystal report and I want to access it in C# code then how will I get to know the database source and credentials ?
I am not able to run the report without the database name, password etc. as it is throwing an error database not matched.

Solution 1

write this line in your code before display a crystal report

C#

reportViewer.EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt = false;

reportViewer is the name for your report Viewer object

This is not helping.I have added a .rpt file in my code now want to display the same.
In fact it is saying table is not found, which is used in crystal report.
