Crystal Reports 9 and C#

[brd24gor]

I am starting to look at deploying reports using Crystal in our C# ASP applications. We have a stand-alone version of C# so we don't have Crystal Reports for .NET. We do have a full version of CR9. What do I need to do to be able to use CR9 in my applications? When I go to add a reference and look through the COM objects, there are about 15 different Crystal Reports object I can enter. Do I need to add all of them?

Any help or steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Bump.

This can't be too hard. The Business Objects support site doesn't have anything to help me out. All I need is a way to put a report viewer control in a Windows form WITHOUT Crystal Reports for .NET.

Thanks,
Brad

Here is what I did using C# and CR 8.5. It's probably pretty similar to doing this with CR 9.

You will need add references to ADODB, CRAXDDRT, CRAXDRT & using System.Reflection;

Hopefully this will be of some help.

ADODB.Recordset rs;
// Open Recordset
rs = GetScheduleRecordSet(true, schedDate, server);

// set up the report
CRAXDRT.Application CrxApp = new CRAXDRT.ApplicationClass();               
CRAXDRT.Report CrxRpt = new CRAXDRT.ReportClass();

// open report and set data source
CrxRpt = CrxApp.OpenReport(reportPath + @"\rptSchedule" + clientCode + reportName + ".rpt", 1);
CrxRpt.Database.SetDataSource(rs, Missing.Value, 1);

// set the parameters
CrxRpt.ParameterFields[1].AddCurrentValue(mailFileName);

// print
CrxRpt.PrintOut(false,2,true,Missing.Value,Missing.Value);

Excellent. At this point I'm looking for any help I can get!

I'll give this a whirl tomorrow and I'll let you know. Thanks again!
