Record Count after export

[chelseatech]

I'm using Visual Basic.Net and Crystal Reports 10. I use some code to open a crystal report and export it to a disk file. I'd like to check there are records in the file.

How do I retrieve the record count of the CRDoc object?

Don't you miss the RDC, Bruce?

I do believe you've stumbled onto one of the shortcomings of .NET vs. CR. The only workaround I've seen works if the data source for the report is a DataSet, from which you can get the record count of before sending it to the report.

Hope you find a workaround.

Thanks Vidru. What I really want is to identify if NO records were processed. Is there a way to do that?

Not that I know of. There isn't a NoData event for the Report object in the .Net assemblies, nor does the Report object have a PrintingStatus object - both which are available in the RDC.
