I finally received a copy of my Crystal Reports Encyclopedia .NET 2005/2008 Volume 2. I have a couple of comments and questions on the content.
In chapter 1 starting from the bottom of page 21 up to the bottom of page 26, there is incorrect reference to fugures in the book.
In chapter 16 of the book, all the discussions on parameter values are on hard coded parameter values which makes this unsuitable in most production set up as in my industry where the application has to address dynamic parameter values being inputted by the user. You do not address this subject from a programming point of view as opposed to using the default as is function coming with Crystal Reports.
In chapter 19 where you discuss the exporting method, you also assume hard coded parameter values. how can you take care of the use of dynamic parameter values if for example one wants to use the ExportToEmail function? In this chapter, the MailDestinationOption is also hard coded and makes this unpractical as one would want to change say the mail recipients, mail username and password.
Kindly comment.
Kind regards.
