Hi,

I have report which has a Sub-report. The data on the main report is huge. When the user clicks on the link on each row the sub-report appears. The data for this sub-report is based on a number field (id - primary key) which is passed as parameter, but fetched from multiple tables (which are not part of the main report) using complex joins.

All this is working. Now let me come to the problem.

As the data in question is so huge the sub-report is awfully slow. I was thinking if I could catch hold of the parameter being passed to sub-report at runtime in ClickPage or DrillDownSubreport events, I could have created the dataset on the fly myself and set the datasource for the sub-report dynamically. This would improve performance multi-fold.

I did try 'CrystalReport11.Subreports[0].DataDefinition.ParameterFields[0].CurrentValues', but I am getting count as zero.

Also tried 'CrystalReport11.Subreports[0].ParameterFields' but getting 'Not supported within subreports.' exception.

We can not depend on the Crystal Report feature of firing the SQL from Crystal report for the subreport, as we need the application to work on different types of databases. Hence we need control over creating and supplying the datasource.

Edit: This is a Windows Forms application. The database is in a remote server accessed via internet. This is why the performance is paramount.

Please advise me the correct path to take.

Hi,

I have an application written in Visual Studio 2010 which has 30 crystal reports all connecting to a sql database. In the designer all work correctly but at run time 5 of them fail to connect to the database? Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance

Hello

How do you change the print direction at runtime for crystal reports mail label using Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Reports Cr2010?

I understand how you do that manually on the report, but cannot find the code that would do this at runtime, short of using two reports, one designed for printing across then down and the other to print down then across

I am trying to find the code that is equivalent of the manual procdeure of select Section / Details / Layout / Print Direction

David

Well, this may seem very very strange, I installed CR13SP5 today and after that I modified a report but when I excute. It loads me the original one !

I did verify the rpt source and it's pointing to the right version.

FYI: there're only two OrdreTransfert.rpt files on my pc, one in debug and another in the project folder.

Update : I found that MainReport Shows the good version but Main Report Preview is showing the original version ! Could that be an unexpected behavior ?

OTC.Load(String.Format(@"{0}\EtatsEdition\OrdreTransfert.rpt",Environment.CurrentDirectory));

Hi i am stuck in an issue with crystal reports and code behind as c#,. My PC configuration OS =64 bit,VS2010 64 bit,Oracle 64 bit.

"Table.Location= DBname+Package+Table.Location" => Here i am getting an error which attached as screen shot.

Hi all,

I am customizing POS solution for my client and my client is using POS printer that supports continuous paper feed.

I have designed the receipt using crystal report.

I have displayed Company Detail, Cashier Info in Report Header.

Cash Received and Change displayed in Report Footer.

The purchased item displayed in Details Section as there might have more than one items purchased.

The dimension under the page setup is Horizontal: 7.5 cm, Vertical: 10 cm.

The horizontal is measured with ruler and accurate whereas vertical is a random number.

I have set the top and bottom margins to 0.00 so that when I print, it will be continuous with the previous page content.

However, I cannot avoid page break if the purchased item not fully utilize one single page, the Report Footer content always displayed in one new page.

This causes the previous page left a big blank area.

How to fix this? Please let me know if you have a better idea to achieve this requirement.

Or is it possible to change the Vertical on runtime, but the purchased item details could be short or long (Multiple line is enabled) and I have no idea how many lines of one purchased item detail it could occupy.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm importing a Crystal Reports Visual Studio 2005 that is working fine, but in Crystal Reports Visual Studio 2010 do not.

The report have a custom size h=10cm v=8cm in the paper, and in the report h=8cm v=10cm, and I want the report print in landscape mode to rotate 90ª and fit to the paper.

The problem is that I can't do it, I have tried all the posibilites I think is possible, changing paper sizes by default in the printer, and changing landscape and portrait mode in the report, but always print bad.

I think the printer is not the problem because I use 2 different printers (TEC B-SA4G and Godex EZ-1100 Plus) and both have the same problem with the new report and both work fine with the old one.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I was hoping to use Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web IDE edition to create a webpage that handles processing crystal reports from a Coldfusion website.

I have installed the files from http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-35074

I have created a new webform, however there is no Crystal reports node on the Designer\Tools menu.

Is it possible to do this using the Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web IDE?

Hi,

  I have visual studio 2010 and installed crystal report 13 on my pc in order to run the crystal report on visual studio.  however, I already have crystal report 11 on my pc, so, I uninstalled it.  but when I load the crystal report web page, it display a message is crystaldecisions.shared is conflict with 13.0.2000.0 and 11.5.3700.0,

  they are located in C:\Windows\assembly  path, I tried to uninstall the CrystalDecisions.Shared 11.5.3700.0, but display "access is denied", so could you help me how to solve this problem please ?

Thanks

Kelvin

We're using the following libraries in our application:

CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll

CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll

The latest versions 12.0.2

We're migrating our application to 64-bit app but the dlls listed don't seem to be supporting 64-bit application.

Interesting thing is, that version 10.5.37 of the files does support 64-bit applications and we can sort of run in 64-bit mode with this version. I also found an article somewhere on SAP web, which states what I just wrote, but I cannot find it anymore. Of course we don't want to be stuck with legacy version of dlls, so my questions are:

1. Why did SAP change this?

2. Can we get the latest dlls with 64-bit support?

3. Any other solution to this?

Thanks

HOW TO RETURN CRYSTAL REPORT LICENCE?? I BUYIED IN INDIA BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPETD BY MY CLIENT.

Before you bark at me I have spent the last hour looking for solutions on this forum, however most of the issues are related to IE9 or ASP.  -- Does not help as this is a .Net WPF Application with the WPF Viewer.

Development Environment:

VS 2010 Professional

CR for VS2010 SP 4

Windows 7

Deployment

.Net 4.0 Framework (Not Client)

Windows XP

CR 32 bit 13.4 Runtime

Issue: Reports run fine on development machine data shows up as expected.

On the Deployment machine, with the WPF Viewer the headers and footers etc show on preview but no data is visible.  When you export to Excel or PDF the data is clearly visible and look as expected.

there are no issues with permissions to data or login to database as the data would not be there on export if it was

No Error messages are being reported

Happens for all reports at the moment on deployed machine.

The reports are not complex,  one crosstab table and standard display data..(two groups and on detail section)

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to resolve!!

Hi Friends ,

I have designed some  sample report with minimum Fields , As per my requirement , I need to change Text Label alone in Multi-Lang Depends Up on Country Code Parameter , I am using VS2010 and Sap Crystal Report Version 13 .

Is it possible to change Language Depends up on country code ?

For Ex CN - Chinese , FR- France .

     My team now hosts many websites with .rpt files and we use
Crystal Reports 10 Report Application Server (RAS), aka Crystal Reports Enterprise 10 Embedded
under Windows Server 2003.

     We plan to upgrade to SAP Crystal Reports 2011 under Windows Server 2008 R2.

     Applications now use ASP Classic code like the following to display reports
from within their applications using the obsolete RDC programing interface.

display the same report file (CrystalRASTest.rpt) using Crystal Reorts 2011?

Please Help

when I pass a string parameter &P1=text to Crystal Report viewer then the first prompt doesn't show, only the others and the report runs, as I want.. (see attached P1.jpg)

but when I send a date: &P2=01/01/12 the second parameter doesn't show, but when I click ok I am then prompted for the second parameter that I passed. (see attached P2a.jpg and P2b.jpg)

why are the passed dates being cleared and reprompted?

I use this URL:

http://127.0.0.1/MyReport/test.aspx?reportpath=test4.rpt&P2=01/01/2012

            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Server.MapPath(reportFile);
            string userID = "crystal";
            string password = "reports";

            foreach (TableLogOnInfo boTableLogonInfo in CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo)
            {
                ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo = boTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo;
                boConnectionInfo.UserID = userID;
                boConnectionInfo.Password = password;
            }

            // pass parameters, prompt for needed ones
