Using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; 3. Using CrystalDecisions.Shared; 4 First, We need to Fill the data table with the Customers data. To do that Create an instance of Table Adapter CustomersTableAdapter and invoke the Fill Method to Fill the data. Create the rpt object, which is an instance of our rptCustomerList. Note the rptCustomerList is the name of the Crystal Report, which we had created in step 3. Assigning the Dataset ds to Report using the method SetDataSource. The object rpt is our Report. Crystal Report Viewer control's job is to display the report. All we need to do is to assign the report to the ReportSource Property of the Crystal Report Viewer Control (CrystalReportViewer. ReportSource = rpt). Now our Crystal Report Viewer is ready to display our report. Finally, store our Report in the Session using Session.Add(“report”, rpt). The Report object is retrieved from the Session and assigned to the ReportSource Property of the CrystalReportViewer Control when the page is refreshed or user navigates from one page to another. This is done from the Page_Init event. tps www tktutoralshub.comierystalreportsMow-to-create-cystarepors-n-asp.net-webforms! 19128217124, 10:28 How to Create Crystal Reports in ASP.NET Webforms Finally, our code looks like this 1 2 using System; 3. using System.Collections.Generic; 4 using System.Ling; 5 using System.Web; 6 using System.Web.UI; 7 using System.Web.UI.WebControls; //Crystal Report Namespaces 8 using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; 9 usit 1g CrystalDecisions.Shared; 11 namespace CrWebFormsApp { 12. public partial class Default : System.Web.UIL.Page { 13 rptCustomerList rpt; 14 15 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ 16} 7 18 protected void Page_init(object sender, EventArgs e){ 19 20 if (Session{"report"] != null) 2a 22 CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =(rptCustomerList)Session["report"]; 230«+} 24} 25 26 protected void Show _Click(object sender, EventArgs e)< 27 28 CustomerTableAdapters.CustomersTableAdapter da = new CustomerTableAdapters.Ci 29 Customer ds = new Customer(); 30 Customer.CustomersDataTable dt=(Customer.CustomersDataTable) 31 ds.Tables["Customers"]; 32 da.Fill(dt); 33 rpt = new rptCustomerList(); 34 rpt.SetDataSource(ds); 35 CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt; 36 Session.Add(""report", rpt); 37} 38 ) 39 7.
