How pass parameters in VB.net 2008 using the CrystalReportViewer?

I am new to VB.net 2008 (Windows forms) but have done a lot of applications in VB6.  I am writing a new vb.net 2008 application and I want to call a Crystal Reports 2008 (Vendor_Master.rpt) that I have included in my application.  In VB6, the way I passed parameters was as follows:

Dim Report As dsrVendor_Master
Set Report = New dsrVendor_Master
Report.EnableParameterPrompting = False
Report.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue mReport_Sort_Order_Parm
Report.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue mReport_Dollars_Parm

Now in VB.net 2008 I don't know how to pass parameters to a Crystal Report using the CrystalReportViewer.  Below is the code I currently am trying in the application but it errors out:

Public Class crvVendor_Master
    Private Sub crvVendor_Master_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
        CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo(1).Add(mReport_Sort_Order_Parm)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo(2).Add(mReport_Dollars_Parm)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ShowLogo = False
        CrystalReportViewer1.Zoom(80)
    End Sub
End Class


Thank you for any help.

Just a variety.  Can someone provide a simple example of passing a couple of parms from the CRV in VB.net 2008 to a CR 2008 report?  Thanks
