Answer 1

//Create a datset
DataSet ds;
ds = new ReportDAL().GetData();

//Create report document
private ReportDocument objRepDoc = null;
objRepDoc = new ReportDocument();
objRepDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("Reports/ReleaseNotes.rpt"));
objRepDoc.SetDataSource(ds);
crvReport.ReportSource = objRepDoc;
crvReport.DisplayGroupTree = false;
crvReport.EnableToolTips = false;

Answer 2

I do it here this is .net 2.0. Now I created a dataset in my project to help design the report. But I never use the dataset because I generate it on the fly if you will also.

Generates a report on the fly.


protected void btnGenerate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (validateEntries())
{
lblError.Text = "";

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument doc = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();

doc.Load(Server.MapPath("reports/tipReport.rpt"));

DataTable dt = Business.getReportData(ddReportTypes.SelectedValue, Request.Form["myDateField"]);

doc.SetDataSource(dt);
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.HTML32;

switch (ddFormat.SelectedIndex)
{
case 0:
export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
break;
case 1:
export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.Excel;
break;
case 2:
export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.ExcelRecord;
break;
case 3:
export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.RichText;
break;
case 4:
export = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.WordForWindows;
break;
}
doc.ExportToHttpResponse(export, Response, true, ddResurants.SelectedItem+"_"+ddReportTypes.SelectedItem+"_"+Request.Form["myDateField"].Replace('/','-') + "_report");

}
}
