    Posted: 08 Jan 2008 at 8:39am

I am building a winform (vs 2005 w/vb) to automate report exports to both excel and pdf. I am running into some problems. What is the best type of report object to use for this purpose. I am currently using:

Private Report As New Report_n
Sub ...
        Report = New Report_n()
        Report.Load()
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
 
end sub
 
My Problem is that when I try to automate the export, it won't work because the crystalreporviewer does not know when report is loaded so it tries exporting the report before it's loaded which causes an error. Any adivce? Thanks

I wouldn't use the viewer b/c you don't need to view anything. You just want to save the report to disk. I would do so using the ReportDocument object. However, I haven't heard of exporting the report before it's loaded. It should stay on the Load() method until finished and then move to the next line in your code. Try using the ReportDocument object and single stepping it if necessary to debug.
