show crystal report in crystal report viewer on c# 2005 winform

Hi,

I have created a crystal report that is linked to a dataset. I am trying to find out how I would show this in a c# crystal report viewer contained in a winform. The code I usually use in vb.net is: -

Dim rpt As New crUsage_By_Date

rpt.Load(Forms.Application.StartupPath & "\crUsage_By_Date.rpt")
rpt.SetDataSource(DsReports1.Tables("Usage_By_Date"))

rpt.SetParameterValue("Report_Period", DateTimePicker1.Text & " to " & DateTimePicker2.Text)
rpt.SetParameterValue("Printed_By", MDIParent1.lblUser.Text)
'frmPreviewReport.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt
'frmPreviewReport.Show()

I am trying to find out the c# equivalent.

Many thanks
Lee

Hi,

I've put the following code into my form:-

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

String path = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
crReportDocument.Load(path + @"\crProgressReport.rpt");
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(myDSMeasurements.Tables["dtMeasurements"]);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument;

but it comes up Load report failed on crReportDocument.Load(path + @"\crProgressReport.rpt"); the path variable seems to be correct and the rpt is contained within the directory. Unfortunately it doesn't give me any more information. What am I doing wrong please.

Many Thanks
Lee

What is the purpose of the @ in the Load statement?

Hi,

For some reason it's not working on my development pc but it's ok on my laptop. I'm having quite a few issues with visual studio on my development pc so I think I need a fresh install.

Best regards
