Hello All..
I need to generate a crystal report based on xml file and a dataset. xml file contains all the headers and have to map this with respective dataset( where actual data is).
what i've done so far: added xml file to report( add--new item -- CrystalReport1 -- using the report wizard -- create new conection(ADO.NET xml) )
file path -- my xml file path
class name --- empty
use dataset from class --- (checked it)
dataset names --- showing empty dropdown and clicked on 'Finish' button .
the report is opened up with xml fields --- dragged 2 fields on to the report. (end of report design)
now with aspx page :
CrystalReportInstance.SetDataSource(ds); // dataset contains data with same headers as xml file
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =CrystalReportInstance ;
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
Result received after executing above: report with only headers
Using : crystal reports(13.0.7.1136)

and i did search on this here.. really have not seen any similar threads answering. is this the correct way to do this.. please suggest me!!
