So far i've been working with a crystal report connected to a database.
the problem is that i register data in a form and i don't want it to be saved in the database ..I wonder if it is possible to load a crystal report with data from a textbox, a combobox before saving the data
for example when you register a documentyou want to see a preview (the document ) before saving the data
I'm not sure how to do that
Should i use richtextbox... if I do so How??
please send me some examples
THANX
Welcome to the Forums.
I just posted some code on CR, but its using VB6. You should be able to get the mechanics for using the Viewer control.
HTH
No that's not what i want.
I have some data in a textbox and i want to see it in a paper (richtextbox)or in a crystal record before loading the information in a database
Please in .net
any help
You can create an ADO recordset with your data on your form as an rs in memory. Then pass the rs to
the CR as the .ReportSource for the report.
can you send me an exmaple please i would really appreciate it
Hmm.. What about placing the data in a temp table. Then show the report from there. If the user changes
their mind you can easily delete it.
i am trying to do that
how do i place the data?? i am not very good at crystal report
EXAmple:
Crystalreport1:
Dr MR _______(texbox1.text)
You are wlcome to enter to the program :_____________(textbox2.text)
Greettings
_____________(textbox3.text)
you can use parameters for that then... just create parameters in the report and put them where those spaces are...
then when you are going to generate the report in your code and display it/print it whatever...
you write code to pass the params in..
rptMyReport.SetParameterValue("CustomerName",Texbox1.Text)
where customername is the name of the param in the report... since it sounds like you are not producing a report that has row after row of data, this is probably the best route for you...
Excellent my friend
that was what i wanted :wave:
I finally resolved my problem
glad to hear.. CR can be your best friend or worst nightmare in .net
