Parameters (CR) and Report Viewer in .NET

[Parkaboy]

I am trying to address parameters in my VB.Net app and need to know if the CR Report Viewer is necessary? I am currently printing and exporting using the ReportDocument with success and want to address parameters from the RD as well. I have noticed most of the examples in Tek-Tips (excellent by the way) all use the Report Viewer.

Is the Report Viewer necessary to deal with Parameters?

Thanks

No, the parameters are set in the report object, which is then displayed by the viewer. You shouldn't need the report viewer to set parameters in a report.

Thanks for the confirmation on the viewer. My app does not need to display anything, just process and print.

Thanks again for the reply.
