Dear NG,
I have done all I can do with Crystal Reports (CR) using the "pull" mode. I
now need to generate data in my application, load a DataSet with that data,
and "push" this on to a CR report. In the code listed below, you find a
demo DataSet, called MyDataSet, taken from the Bischof book. It runs from a
button created in Visual Studio (VS) in a project called Test3. So far it
works.
The next step is to create a .rpt file in the VS project with the layout of
the report. The Report "Expert" wants a data source. I would like to
explain to the Expert that I will supply a DataSet (MyDataSet) in my C#
program. I still want to use the Expert to format a column style report.
How do I bind the columns in the detail line of the report to the columns in
the DataSet?
Thank you,
Bob
