Problem with Crystal Report

[Victor]

Hi, i have a simple report with 1 parameter and i want to send it to
the printer without use the crystalreportvi ewer but it shows me an
exception "Parameter value is needed",maybe the problem can be in the
way to pass it the parameter.
CrystalReport1 cr = null;
try
{
cr = new CrystalReport1( );
cr.FileName="C: \\Proyectos .Net\\crystal\\ CrystalReport1. rpt";
cr.Load();

cr.SetParameter Value("person", "000002");
cr.PrintOptions .PrinterName = "\\\\ACTEA3\\lj 4000";

cr.Refresh();
cr.PrintToPrint er(1,false,0,0) ;
}

Any idea would be apreciated.

Hi,

IIRC you do not need to load it from File, it's embedded as a resource and
when you instantiate it its load

if you just show it in the screen does it work ok?
do you have a default printer set?, can you just try with it instead of
using a network printer?

the parameter seems to be ok,

If that do not work, what if you use a crystalreportvi ewer but do not show
it, you load the report, etc but then just print it
cheers,

Hi, i tested to show it in the screen and it worked ok,i tested to use
the crystalreportvi ewer and the parameters worked ok but the problem
was that i can't or i don't find how to specify the printer i want to
use in the crystalreportvi ewer component, it printed by default printer
on the computer.

I have found the solution, here is the code, thanks for the help.

CrystalReport1 cr = null;
ParameterFieldD efinitions crParameterFiel dDefinitions;
ParameterFieldD efinition crParameterFiel dDefinition;
ParameterValues crParameterValu es;
ParameterDiscre teValue crParameterDisc reteValue;

try
{
cr = new CrystalReport1( );
cr.FileName = "C:\\Proyec tos
..Net\\granitos \\crystal\\Crys talReport1.rpt" ;

//Get the collection of parameters from the report
crParameterFiel dDefinitions = cr.DataDefiniti on.ParameterFie lds;

//Access the specified parameter from the collection
crParameterFiel dDefinition = crParameterFiel dDefinitions["persona"];

//Get the current values from the parameter field. At this point
//there are zero values set.
crParameterValu es = crParameterFiel dDefinition.Cur rentValues;

//Set the current values for the parameter field
crParameterDisc reteValue = new ParameterDiscre teValue();
crParameterDisc reteValue.Value = "000002"; //1st current value

//Add the first current value for the parameter field
crParameterValu es.Add(crParame terDiscreteValu e);

//All current parameter values must be applied for the parameter field.
crParameterFiel dDefinition.App lyCurrentValues (crParameterVal ues);

cr.PrintOptions .PrinterName = "\\\\ACTEA3\\lj 4000";
cr.PrintToPrint er(1,false,0,0) ;
}
