Cannot see a Crystal Report in ASP.NET

[Mike Pettet]

I've just started using .NET and cannot create a basic Crystal Report.

I have created an aspx page with a CrystalReportViewer web form on it.
I defined (DataBindings)->ReportSource as the custom binding
expression "C:\stats.rpt" [The double quotes are part of the string]
which is a valid Crystal Report and this appears successfully on the
Design view with the correct columns.

However, when I try to see this page on the web, I get the error "Use
ReportSource or DataBindings property to specify a report source."

I have read similar posts but not found any solutions (e.g. use
C:\\stats.rpt or C:/stats.rpt) to this basic problem. Do you know what
is wrong here?

Thanks for any replies!

Call the report.DataBind() method in the forms Load() event.
