Question

I have two tables Customer and Contract Table

CustomerTable
    CustID(pk)
    CustName
    CompanyName
ContractTable
    ContractID(pk)
    CustID(fk)
    ContractDate
    ContractDuration
    TotalPayment
    TotalInstallment
    TotalCommission

I’m trying to create a crystal report to display customers of this month like this

    |CustID||CustName||ContractDuration||TotalPayment||TotalCommission|
    |      ||        ||                ||            ||               |
Total |200 ||                          ||  $20,000   ||  $200         |

After installing crystal reports for visual studio2010 from SAP i made crystal report using graphical interface and put this code in form_load event

ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
        cryRpt.Load("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\my documents\\visual studio 2010\\Projects\\democrystal1\\democrystal1\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
        crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;
        crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

when i run the project it prompt me to enter userid and password but i’m using windows authentication from SSMS what userid and password now i put in? and if i use a view to generate crystal report from it how that view looks like?

Answer 1

You may need to tell the report specifically when you load it to use Integrated Security like you want. Here’s a blog post I made a while back, scroll down to where the “ApplyNewServer” method is and that should get you started.

That method was taken out of a larger class. You’ll see that I was referencing properties for username/password, etc. Using a method like this will loop through your report and all the sub reports and apply the connection info you specify. I should really just turn this into an extension at some point.

Hope this puts you in the right direction, if not, let me know what additional questions you have.
