Hi,
I'm new to Crystal Reports and this is the first report I have written. I'm having an issue that I cannot get to work.
I've generated a report viewer that automatically logs in to the SQL server to pull the data. This part works fine and shows the report. I have also created two date pickers for the user to select a date range and refresh the report. When the user clicks the generate button, a Crystal Database login window prompt opens. All the information is already filled in except the password.
How can I make it so this refreshed report also automatically logs in.
namespace Val_Report
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Set up database and report path
ConfigureCrystalReports();
//Set Report Dates Initially at first of month to current date
//Get first day of month
DateTime firstDay = DateTime.Now;
DateTime FirstDayInMonth = new DateTime(firstDay.Year, firstDay.Month, 1);
string strStartDate = FirstDayInMonth.ToShortDateString();
//Set the orderStartDate TimePicker to value
orderStartDate.Value = FirstDayInMonth;
//Get current date
string strEndDate = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
//Set the orderEndDate TimePicker to value
orderEndDate.Value = DateTime.Now;
//Set up my report parameters (date, etc)
setReportParameters(strStartDate, strEndDate);
}
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
{
//Set up sql connection
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.ServerName = "xxx";
connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "xxx";
connectionInfo.UserID = "xxx";
connectionInfo.Password = "xxx";
//Set report path
string reportPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + "CrystalReport1.rpt";
crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = reportPath;
//Make sure we iterate through all the tables
SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo);
}
private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo)
{
TableLogOnInfos tableLogOnInfos = crystalReportViewer.LogOnInfo;
foreach (TableLogOnInfo tableLogOnInfo in tableLogOnInfos)
{
tableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
}
}
private void crystalReportViewer_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void setReportParameters(string strStartDate, string strEndDate)
{
// all the parameter fields will be added to this collection
ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();
// the parameter fields to be sent to the report
ParameterField pfStartDate = new ParameterField();
ParameterField pfEndDate = new ParameterField();
// setting the name of parameter fields with wich they will be recieved in report
pfStartDate.ParameterFieldName = "StartDate";
pfEndDate.ParameterFieldName = "EndDate";
// the above declared parameter fields accept values as discrete objects
// so declaring discrete objects
ParameterDiscreteValue dcStartDate = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
ParameterDiscreteValue dcEndDate = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
// setting the values of discrete objects
dcStartDate.Value = DateTime.Parse(strStartDate);
dcEndDate.Value = DateTime.Parse(strEndDate);
// now adding these discrete values to parameters
pfStartDate.CurrentValues.Add(dcStartDate);
pfEndDate.CurrentValues.Add(dcEndDate);
// now adding all these parameter fields to the parameter collection
paramFields.Add(pfStartDate);
paramFields.Add(pfEndDate);
/* Set the modified parameters collection back to the viewer so that
the new parameter information can be used for the report. */
crystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
}
private void redisplay_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// ConfigureCrystalReports();
string strStartDate = orderStartDate.Text;
string strEndDate = orderEndDate.Text;
string reportPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + "CrystalReport1.rpt";
