Export a crystal report's fields into xml

[former_member585054]

Hi,

I create a crystal report (without having a data source/empty data source) and create a report file where we can give sample values for the fields in the report.

Thereafter, can we export these fields in the report (with the sample values in it) as an xml file.

Regards,

Ruch

You can download the Developer Guide and API Guide from here: https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_CRYSTAL_REPORTS,_DEVELOPER_VERSION_FOR_MICROSOFT_VISUAL_STUD...

The Developer Guide has sample code for exporting reports. Even though it's not listed under "Setting custom export options" in the Developer Guide, it's shown in the "Available export formats" page there. Also, the API Guide shows that there's and XMLFormatOptions class that can be used to export to XML.

And there is no .NET SDK installed with CR Designer any more so you can go here to get it:
