Crystal Reports Std | Visual Studio 2008

Hi guys,

When creating charts in Crystal Reports Std (bundled with VS2008) is there any way to (programmatically or in the report designer) modify chart series names?

Thanks,

Stu.

Hi Stuart,

Would you be kind enough to give us few more details?

Hi guys,

I've found out that you need to upgrade to a later version of Crystal Reports.

My company had a spare license for CR2008 which included the update for Visual Studio 2008.

I also found that I had to create the report in CR2008 to gain access to additional features i.e. modifying series names for charts.

Then import it into my project.

Thanks anyway,

Stuart.

Hi AG,

When creating a chart I am selecting a datetime value to group by and then selecting three values to summarise.

When summarising these values CR gives the series default names i.e. "Sum of [viewname].[fieldname]".

I'd like to know if it is possible to rename these either through code or in the designer.

Thanks,

Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

I searched a bit in our [dev lib|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm] but could not find a good interface

You can search for the chart class and see what is possible.

Best regards
