Is there anyway to use a connection string from web.config for Crystal Report? The problem I'm having is that I develop on two different computers and on each I use a different IP to connect to the SQL Server. And when I deploy to a web server I use "localhost". So each time I get prompted for changes from the Crystal Report...
I have serveral databases with same tables. I created a crystal report to show the report for respective logins from the database. I have a problem in it. In crystal report when i changing the database it should not change the respective table. It loads only the table what we give in the connection string first time.
I have a field in my dataset with type nvarchar(1000). when I link it to crystal reports, it converts it to a field of type string with length set to 100. As a result of that, the string in that field is being truncated on the report. How can I increase the string length to 1000? (I already checked the "Can grow" option).
In order to pull a connection string from (a method, a web service, or what ever) just not the web.config.To return a connection string not from the web.config?
I know we can make the connection string of a table adapter public and change it when we access the table. I want one place (the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings) change to pull the connection string from another method, just not the web.config. I do not keep connection strings in the web.config and would like to override this method.
When i run the application locally it works fine but when i publish it n access from it it gives the error asEither the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
I built a crystal report using crystal report 2008, and have it working fine aganist my test db. in my c# code that loads the report I put this in:
[Code]....
but problem is when i pushed this change to production, the report was stilling pulling test data, even though the web.config entry (LocalSqlServer) was updated in production to use production db. Could I have setup the crystal file incorrectly? When I'm creating the crystal file and connecting it to the db, is there something that I need to check or uncheck to tell it I'm going to dynamically supply the db connection rather than having it use the one I used to setup the report?
if ({lms.seq} = 1) then {lms.des} else if Not ISNULL({lms.des}) then {lms.itmchk};
When I run the above statement i get a error "A String is required here" near the second If statement. What I want is decribed below.I have a three fields i.e seq,des,itmchk
if "seq = 1" display "des" if "des" is not empty display "itmchk". "itmchk" will display either "True" or "False"
if "itmchk" is not empty replace "True" with Star.
I wanted to post my problem and solution since I've gotten some good information on this board. When deploying my Visual Studio 2008 C# .NET 2.0 web application Production, I encountered some problems, which is not unusual. What was unusual is that my Crystal Reports .NET reports that use the Report Viewer control would not work; they errored out with:
note: Crystal Report works fine in dev environment....
Logon failed. Details: ADO Error Code: 0x Source: ADODB.Connection Description: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed. Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.We are using Oracle 11g 64 bit as database. We establish crystal report database connection by two ways,
1. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
2. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC
but we got the same error in report module when we using two methods.
I inherited some project which uses crystal reports. The datasource for startdate is in string format but I would like to make it up so that the time does not get added. Should I change the sql query somehow or can I make from the object in crystal reports (IFieldObject) to something more manageable.
I just want to place static text on my report. From the toolbox I placed an unbound field type string on my report but I can not set the text or value somewhere?
I'm new to Visual Studio.NET . I need to integrate the crystal reports into an ASP.NET application. I generated Crystal report with the help of crystal report XI developer edition(Stand alone version and NOT from the one which comes from visual studio).
How to integrate this report with the web application.
We have quite a few reports which were developed earlier in Crystal Reports 8.5. We are now planning to use these reports in our web application developed in VS 2008 (C#).
What dlls are needed for calling 8.5 in the application and how should they be added to the application while shipping it to the client?
They are also struggling to get the code running. Would also need the code to call the report with parameters.
I am retrieving connection string based on value stored in cookie.NowI am making crystal report. I cannot hard code server credential. I have to get these credential from connection string from web.config. so that i can pass these credentials to my crystal report .
ConnectionInfo reportConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(); reportConnectionInfo.ServerName = connection string server name from web.config reportConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = connection string database name from web.config reportConnectionInfo.UserID = ...; reportConnectionInfo.Password = ...;
I have already generated crystal reports but i've made them static. but now i want to make the user to select the criteria for generating the reports. for eg., in one of them i want to show monthwise data so user should be able to select the month and year and that would be passed as parameter and compared to the existing data. provide me with proper exact code that can be used for giving parameters in such a report using C#.
I am trying to write a simple string manipulation on a formula field. Left (string, N) returns junk character but if I hard code N to some numbers it returns proper string like Left(string, 10) returns good; Left (string, 10) --> returns good stringLeft (string, Instr(string, ">")); --> returns junkX := InStr(string, ">"); Left (string, X); --> returns junkHere is my formula field:
local StringVar temp; local StringVar temp1; local NumberVar x; temp := "<span style='font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;color:red;'>testing</span>"; x := InStr (temp, ">"); temp := Left (temp, x); if (1=1) then temp;

I am considering using Crystal Report 2008 as my tool of creating reports on my webpage.The only problem which I'm facing is that I have no control of the remote server which hosts my site (besides uploading files). I can't run a MSI to deploy the CR runfiles.I can't find anywhere in the CR user manual of how to deploy the runtime files without running the msi, and I'm not even sure it's possible.Have anyone deployed CR 2008 without running the MSI and without having to register any files?
I have developed few crystal reports using VS.2005 and now i want to deploy the same on my web server which is running Windows 2003 server and got installed only .net frame work 2.0.... so now i want to know how can i run those reports successfully and i have downloaded CRRedist2005_X86.msi and even crXIsp3 and 4 _net_server from business objects page and i do have Crystal Reports XI original CD.... while by using them can i run crystal reports on my web pages.
