I see similar topics have been discussed in places and non of the answers i found solves my problem. CrystalReport document I open in CR Viewer in a form in my development machine. When I deployed it in another pc which has to access a production database on another server. I used the following code to set the connection info dynamically.
ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();
ConnectionInfo ci = new ConnectionInfo();
TableLogOnInfos tis = new TableLogOnInfos();
TableLogOnInfo ti = new TableLogOnInfo();
Tables crTbls;
rpt.Load(c.appPath + @"\reports\report1.rpt");
ci.DatabaseName = dataBase;
ci.ServerName = dbServer;
ci.UserID = userName;
ci.Password = userPassword;
crTbls = rpt.Database.Tables;
foreach (Table crTbl in crTbls)
{
ti = crTbl.LogOnInfo; ti.ConnectionInfo = ci; crTbl.ApplyLogOnInfo(ti);
}
crViewer.ReportSource = rpt;
crViewer.RefreshReport();
But, when deployed, the report contineously prompt for user name password. In the login prompt, I see the server is pre-filled with value passed aboveand disabled but the database is disables and empty. username and password fields pre-filled with values passed above.
This method works on few other reports. Only different is this report uses a "SQL View" instead of accessing the table directly. Am I missing something here? Or is there any other way to set connection values dynamically?
Thank you in advance
