At this time I am unable to purchase anything due to not having a job but I have a question and I have not created any reports yet with CR.
 
What I want to do is create a report (invoice type) dynamically in C#.  I would like to create a report 'shell' if you will then manually populate the fields from the database so I can do all the calculations behind the scenes. 
I have tried to understand/read the MSDN help but its somewhat confusing.  I have Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 Express.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Mark

With no budget, your going to have to learn with the documentation you have until budget arrives.
 
Have you tried Google? I dags "c# how to add a crystal report" and the first hit was a step by step how to for adding a Crystal report to a program. Try walking through this and then come back with specific questions.

Thanks for the response but as I asked in my original post I am trying to do this basically without a data set.  Loading the data manually.  In other words.  I would get an out put from a stored proc and then I can manipulate the out put and then MANUALLY add what I want to a report.  Makes sense?

OK I am trying it with datasets.  I have an invoice report I am trying to create.  I have created 3 datasets (1 for Client data, 1 for Reservation AND Boarding data and 1 for Business data)
 
Page header has data from Client table (dsClient)
 Name
 Address etc
Page details has data from Reservation and Boarding table keyed by
ReservationID(dsBoardingDetails)
----- Reservation table -------
 CheckIn date
 CheckOut date
 ClientID
 ReservationID
 
--------- Boarding table -----------
 Type (type of service they used)
 TypeName (actual name of service)
 Qty (how many of the Type did they buy)
 Fee (price charged for qty = 1)
 ReservationID (FK)
 
Page footer had data from Business table (dsBusinessInfo)
Business name, address etc (1 business per db)
 
For starters I get the following error
your current link configuration contains multiple starting points
 
I  have no idea what I did to get that or how to fix.
 
Thanks a ton for any help
