Hi,
 
I am in the process of converting (rewriting) a windows application written in VB6 and using Crystal Reports 8 (crviewer), to C#.net 2.0.  In this application the user could double click on a cell within the report and on the values of the report double click on launch another report based on these values.
 
I have just installed Crystal Reports 10 developer edition and I am having difficulty extracting values from the FieldObect on the report.  I can itterate through the report objects and I can see the database fields.  But I can't find where the actual values contained within the fieldobjects are actually stored.  Its hard to believe that Crystal would remove this function from the .Net namespace.
 
Has anyone done this with version 10?
 
Regards,
 
James

The problem with the CR object model is that it doesn't have access to real-time data. It gives you the properties of the object model prior to processing the report. Thus, you can't find out what is being printed while the report is running. I mentioned this problem to them a while back and they said it is by design to improve scalability of enterprise level reports. Thus, once the report runs it triggers as few events as possible to keep the load time for each page view at a minimum.
