what are the steps to link a crystal report to web form
Md Mushtaque
Hi friends, Could any one give the complete steps of Linking a report to web form so that when called / clicked the link the report can display the data. I have unchecked the "Report Option -> Save Data with Reports". So that the report could not take extra space. I have DB connection code in my .aspx file, it is as follows: Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports() Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt" Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName) myRepDoc = New ReportDocument() myRepDoc.Load(reportPath) myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc 'myCrystalReportViewer.RefreshReport() Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo() If Session("reportConnectionInfo") IsNot Nothing Then Dim ConnInforArrList As ArrayList = DirectCast(Session("reportConnectionInfo"), ArrayList) myConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConnInforArrList(0) myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConnInforArrList(1) myConnectionInfo.UserID = ConnInforArrList(2) myConnectionInfo.Password = ConnInforArrList(3) Else lblMessage.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red lblMessage.Text = "Session is off. Please Relogin to See the Report." End If SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc) SetDBLogonForSubreports(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc) myCrystalReportViewer.SelectionFormula = GetFieldName(ReportID) & "='" & Session("CompCode") & "'" myCrystalReportViewer.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument) Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo) Next End Sub Private Sub SetDBLogonForSubreports(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument) Dim mySections As Sections = myReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections For Each mySection As Section In mySections Dim myReportObjects As ReportObjects = mySection.ReportObjects For Each myReportObject As ReportObject In myReportObjects If myReportObject.Kind = ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then Dim mySubreportObject As SubreportObject = CType(myReportObject, SubreportObject) Dim subReportDocument As ReportDocument = mySubreportObject.OpenSubreport(mySubreportObject.SubreportName) SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, subReportDocument) If myReportObject.Name = "Subreport1" Then Dim lvSec As Section = subReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections("DetailSection1") If Not lvSec Is Nothing Then Dim t1 As TextObject t1 = lvSec.ReportObjects("txtEmpName") t1.Text = Session.Contents("EmpName") Dim t2 As TextObject t2 = lvSec.ReportObjects("txtRepID") t2.Text = Request.QueryString("REPID") End If End If End If Next Next End Sub Please do help me out.
