I have a C# 2010 application that contains a report created using Crystal Reports for VS2010. Its purpose is printing an invoice for a client. I need to add a page (same for each invoice) that shows the methods by which the client can pay the invoice.
This would basically require me to add a page that is different from the rest of the report, at the end of the report. How can I do this?
Thank you.
I can't remember 100% if the Crystal for VS2010 supports it but Crystal Reports does have the option for defining a report footer section. If you activate this section and configure page break before to be on this should have the effect you desire.
Addition by Vlad Schnakovszki:
To prevent the Page Header section from appearing on the last page, do this:
Right-click on the Footer Section, choose Format Section. Click the button beside the Suppress (No Drill-Down) under Common Tab and place this code.
if pagenumber=TotalPageCount then true
else false
Bob Vale - Alternatively just put the formula as pagenumber=TotalPageCount

Here we are talking about inbuilt pagging of crystal report.
which type of pagination will be in action when i click on previous or next button on report viewer??
1) load only that much data that is need to be shown?
or
2) load all the data and show only what is need to be shown?
CR loads all data for main report first. Then, while rendering, it loads all subreports data, required up to current page display. For pagination this means that next page navigation may query data for subreports, previous page uses cached data always. CR actually needs to render all pages up to current to know, where to place page breaks.
This is empirical evidence only - it could be possible that for some kind of reports or environments CR starts rendering before all data is read, but I haven't seen that yet :) Our reports usually include some nasty grouping and similar, which for example requires all data already present in report header or every page footer (pages count, totals etc). We are using "desktop" version of CR engine+viewer, maybe web server engine behaves differently.
Crystal Report builds the whole document, you can see it in the page numbering. Another technical reason, that CR can use forward only cursors that makes back paging impossible, it must load the data into the memory.
I am having s group box of Radio buttons. having options like
1.) Page 1 & 2
2.) Page 3 to 6
3.) Page 7
4.) All
and on the basis of this selection I want to show my Report in the reportviewer. I am trying to search stuff on it, but didn't found any thing. My report is having one main report with seven sub-reports. Any idea or code snippet will be helpful.
Thank you
I'd suggest either one of two options:
Generate four different reports (ie. .rdlc files), one of each one of your options, including the corresponding sub-reports.
Have a single report and pass the option as a parameter through SetParameters and then dynamically exclude reports based by checking the option within your report.
I'd personally go with the first one since it will allow you more flexibility. Since each one of your sub-reports also goes in a different .rdlc, their maintenance shouldn't be a hassle and duplicity should be minor.
I have a C# application where I need to load report using Crystal Reports. By default, Crystal Report loads first page only. We need to click on "next" button to view next page. We wanted to load report with a scrollbar without using next button to jump to next page. I found following solution online:
SeparatePages = "false";
I applied this solution to my report but now it has stopped showing page header and page footer to all internal pages. Is there a way I can load report using a scroll bar and I should be able to show page header and page footer in all internal pages too?
I am afraid can't provide you the required solution but can adivce you a wrokaround.
For all sections check option "Underlay following sections"
Using Crystal Reports and .NET I have a requeriment where I need to print 2 copies of the same report on each sheet. I´m able to do this using two subreports setting CanGrow to false, but this doesnt work cause my report may have more than one page, and CanGrow will just crop the rest of the report. Setting CanGrow to false will cause the two reports to overlap, or print one after another. I also tried making a double report, Header - details - footer, and Header - details - footer again (repeating the same information), but crystal reports doesnt allow me to have multiple details sections(with header footer sections between them).
I´m able to reproduce what I want using MsWord, in the printing settings changing the printer setting "print multiple copies" to 2, and then typing and setting Page range to "Page: 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4... " but the printing API from Crystal Reports won´t let me adjust these settings, not even printing APIs from .NET, so I though of using Native Win32 API, but even if I´m able to do this with Win32 I don´t know how to tell Crystal Reports to use my printing functions.
I´m pretty new to crystal reports so maybe there is a simple solution for this. If someone can help.
I think you'll need to keep your subreport the way you have it, with the report details you want copied, but you can't place the two instances of the subreport in the same section and expect them to space themselves correctly. You'll need to use a second detail section in your main report for your second subreport, then they shouldn't overwrite each other. The detail sections both need cangrow = true set.
OK, all you should need is 2 reports, one formatted the way the customer wants (headers, footers, etc.) to use as the subreport, and one without any headers or footers, but 2 detail sections with cangrow=true and an instance of the subreport in each detail section. I'm not sure why you want a new page after 5 records, but try taking that out and see if you can print the same subreport twice within a main report.
I think I kind of solved it. I created two reports: Orignal, and Copy, and supressed all sections except details section and added a group using the workaround mentioned here:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/SubReportPH10062006160749PM/SubReportPH.aspx
to be able to use headers that would repeat on every page.
I put all my header information on the group header, and the report footer information on the group footer(other sections can´t be used since they wont respect the spacing I need, that´s the major drawback of this workaround), and limit the details section to a number of records that will fill only half of the page. In the copy version I added a space in the header equal to half of the page. Then I created the report that will hold both subreports with all sections supressed and only one detail section, and added both subreports there one on top of another. This will print the second subreport at the bottom of the page leaving the space from its header for the first subreport to print on top, I still don´t know how to repeat footing section on every page by now but I think I don´t need it.
I am using Crystal Reports with C# programming language.
I want to open another report by clicking on link eg. I show Invoice's Summary like its number (named InvNo), date, items and TotalAmount.
Now I would like to open another report when user clicks on InvNo column. If user clicks on Invno 0001 then another report should be opened showing Item-wise details...
Is there any solution for this?
There are two 'linking' options:
use an 'on-demand' subreport - this is a report embedded in another report. it is NOT generated until its link is clicked. 'standard' subreports are generated at the same time as the 'main' report. in either case, a subreport can NOT contain another subreport.
create a hyperlink to another report by setting a field's Hyperlink property (choose the 'A Website on the Internet' option). if you create a conditional formula (the 'X+2' button), you'll have more control over the URL that is generated. you'll probably want to create a controller page (like 'view_report.aspx') that parses the querystring for the report's id (id=234), opens the report, authenticates, add parameters (country=USA®ion=MN&start_date=20110501), generates the report, then returns it.
Use option 1 for the summary, then use option 2 for the item's details.
If you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise, use UrlReporting for option 2.
I believe subreports functionality is an answer to your question.
You would need to enter a formula that conditionally shows/hide them (they should be hidden by default). Unfortunately I cannot tell you how to do that from the back of my head, since I haven't worked on CR for pretty long time now... Please find few links here.
