CR 8.5 Reference

[zwieback89]

In all the examples for the ASP pages that interact with the Crystal Reports, I found a lot of properties and also the hierarchy of some of the objects being used.

Where can find a detailed documentation of the objects, their properties and the methods used by a particular object ?

For instance, ParameterFields, GetItemByName, AddCurrentValue, DatabaseTablesCollection, SetLogonInfo so on and so forth. Is there a documented pdf file or a documented chm file that is located so that I can refer to the details of a particular hierarchy, its list of objects and their respective methods and properties.

Hope to hear more on this issue.
Padmaja.

You should have a developr.hlp file somewhere in your Seagate Software tree. Depends upon your version of Crystal where they put it. Brian J. Alves

I tend to use the Crrdc.hlp. And by trial and error figure out how things go together. If you haven't already, download ASPXMPS85. It has good examples and some canned files that you can use in your own app.
Some other tidbits that might be helpfull when going through documentation like the Crrdc is:
App Object = CRAXDRT.Application = session("oApp&quot
Report Object = CRAXDRT.Report = session("oRpt&quot
Also, to use ParameterFields
set session("ParamCollection&quot = Session("oRpt&quot.Parameterfields
and there is a specific parameterfield example in the ASPXMPS85 that should help you out further (and with AddCurrentValue).
