Crystal Report.Net with Remoting

[Ashutosh Bhalerao]

Hi,

I have 3(client-server-db) tier application written in VB.Net. I want
the reports to be generated on the server and only the "view" to be
exported to the client side to be viewed in the viewer.

I tried to generate the ReportDocument on the server and send it over
to the client but I got a "Object not serialisable" exception.

Is there a solution which I have missed in the current framework?

I know I can probably do it with RAS or a Web Service but we dont have
a web server or Crystal RAS.

Regards,
Ashu

Since the report works off of the dataset/datatable...... why not just
send the set/table back to the GUI... and let crystal do it's thing on the
GUI....... it would seem that your doing that one portion of work in the
wrong level of the application.
