    Showing a field based on another being the min

    hi, I'm creating a report with the CR bundled in Visual Studio 2003. I want to show a string based on another field in the same record being the Min value in that group. I have a group footer where I display the min date by using Insert->Summary-> min of {table}.{date} in my group's...

    Retrieve TotalPageCount in vb.net?

    I need something like this too, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I cheated to get the PageCount when previewing a report in the CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control, but to get the count without previewing I have no idea. Dim ctrl As System.Windows.Forms.Control...

    Keep together and subreports

    Hello I am working on a report in the CR bundled with VS2003, apparently it's basically CR9. My problem is that the report is not printing out as I would like, and I'd like some expert advice on "Keep together". My report is structured as follows PageHeader GroupHeaders (a-q) Details...

    Accessing objects on report from code.

    I'm not sure if there is a good explanation anywhere online about the object model used to programmtically edit reports, I used Brian Bischof's Crystal Reports .Net Programming this should get you started Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Sub EditTextBox Dim ReportOBJ as...

    Crystal Reports 11 vs. Crystal Reports .NET 2003

    I've heard it's a build of CR 9 something like 9.43... The version of CR embedded in VS 2005 is a build of CR 10. Also I don't think the reports desinged in the VS versions can be transferred to any of the standalone version, but don't quote me on it.

    Thx guys. I understand what that visual linking expert does now, and it's working perfectly.

    vb.net and crystal reports

    Yeah this is doable Basically you can create an ADO.net dataset at runtime and use that as the reports datasource. The code to create the dataset is fairly simple Creating Dataset Dim data as New DataSet("ReportName") DIm Table as New DataTable("TableName") Table.Columns.Add(New...

    hey, I am using the CR built into VS2003. (plz keep reading) I'm creating a report that reports off 2 tables with with a many to one relationship between the tables. I am selecting data out of these 2 tables separately and linking them using the Visual Linking expert. Table 1 Location ID...

    1 to n "subreports" with CR for VS2003

    You can do this without using supreports. You'll have to create 2 tables in your ADO.Net DataSet. One table will have a record for each "report" and the other will have all the detail lines for each report along with an ID pointing back to the first table to tell which report they belong too...

    Crystal Report - Tool Tip

    Unfortunately I don't think you set the the Tool Tips to null at runtime using VS2003. The code supplied there uses the Report Designer Component, but I'm pretty sure you can't use that with the bundled version for VS. You would need the actual CR 8.5, and would need to use the RDC instead of...

    Crystal Report - Tool Tip

    This is a big problem using Crystal Reports for VS.NET (By the way, I think the bundled version is a build of CR 9 ). You'll have to open the Format Editor for each field on the report by right clicking the field and choosing Format. Then click on the formula button for "Tool Tip Text" (it's...

    Getting Database login dialog when using XML-schema for db definition

    This happens for me sometimes when there is a difference between the DataSet set to the report objs DataSource and the schema used when creating the report. I'd use a DataGrid to ensure that all the field/ table names are right, and maybe try on the Development machine with the same input as...

    Text Cut off / Font too big

    Seems like Arial Unicode MS is the only one wrapping properly each time(other than monospaced fonts). Maybe they used it for thier testing?

    Using Sourcesafe and crystal creates .vb1 and .vb2 files

    I had this happen for the first time just recently, though I'm using Sourcegear Vault. I excluded the report from the project, then erased the .rpt and all .vb files for that report that were in source control. I then erased all the .vb1 and .vb2 files from the local copy then re-added the...

    Text Cut off / Font too big

    Hi, I'm using Crystal Reports for visual Studio .Net and reporting off of an ADO.Net dataset. The trouble I'm having is that my text boxes and text fields are getting cut off when it is a multiline text box. Somehow Crystal can't tell how much space there is left on the line and is cutting...

    CR for VS 2005 rant

    Oh yeah, I forgot to explain I use the CR that's bundled with VS 2003. So I don't get all the new tricks that can be done with CR v10. If you've ever played with the bundled version, I'm sure you'd agree it has "beta" written all over it. Does anyone know about using the "PUSH" method...

    CR for VS 2005 rant

    Hi, I saw that there were MSDN chats about CR, though I missed all of them. I decided it would be fun to start a thread about what features I think should be added to the CR report editor in VS 2005, so I could point someone to it who's actually going to work on it, even though it's probably...

    Reporting off an ADO.net dataset using Visual Studio.net

    Hello, I've had a tough time finding good information about this topic, but I'm grateful for any help received so I'm going to try to give some back. I assume for this FAQ you have used an ADO.net dataset and Crystal Reports at least a few times :-), though maybe not together. I won't be...
