how can i call crystal report in vb

This is a snippet from a VB.Net program I wrote, but you may be able to adapt it to VB:

VB Code:

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
 
Dim CrystalReportDocument As ReportDocument
       Dim CrystalExportOptions As ExportOptions
       Dim CrystalDiskFileDestinationOptions As DiskFileDestinationOptions
 
       Dim Filename As String
       CrystalReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
       CrystalReportDocument.Load("Path" & "CrystalReportTemplateName.rpt")
 
       Filename = "C:\FileName.pdf"
 
       CrystalDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
       CrystalDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = Filename
       CrystalExportOptions = CrystalReportDocument.ExportOptions
       With CrystalExportOptions
           .DestinationOptions = CrystalDiskFileDestinationOptions '<- This is what makes it save the report on disk
           .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
           .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat '<- This is what makes it save it as a pdf document
       End With
      CrystalReportDocument.Export()
