hi,
I have a .Net Windows application. In this application i need to implement a custom report feature. This feature will allow my clents to implement adhoc reports and put them in the specified directory. Using my application they should be able to see the reports in a form with crystal report viewer in it. To achieve this, here is what i may have to do:
when the application starts up read all the reports from the directory and list them in a list box or something and when they click each report it be should opened in a crystal report viewer by setting the viewer.ReportSource="c:\temp\x.rpt"
However, in this case how do i dynamically set the database connection settings and pass any parameters that the report might need (I want to avoid the user typing in the parameters )?
Any ideas on this ?
thanks
Arc
