How to view .NET objectColletions in CR2008 designer? (not through vs2008)

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a report where i use TTX-files (field definition files) as datasource of my subreports.

In .NET I created classes that look exactly the same as those ttx-files.

I bind them together in code. And the report works great!

My true question is: How can I easily view a .NET object, or an object-collection in the crystal reports 2008 designer?

Working with the ttx files is very hard to maintain and time-consuming.

When the class updates, the report's ttx-files get outdated and I can't just sync them.

A solution would be that I could select a .net class (the file, or through a dataprovider) though the designer application (cr2008). But I haven't figured out how,

Does the feature exist? Please give me some guidance

Greets,

Wim

Hi,

You can post at .Net Development - Crystal Report forum.

As far as I know this is also a designer question.

(But I also posted the question in .net)

==> The .net post is moved to Design again 😮 (so the SAP ppl desided it is a 100% design question )

Note: I found out how to easily update the TTX files and reflect those changes in the designer.

So my only question still is: Can I use a .net class or something alike to set as datasource. This way I do not need to map the Class with the TTX file manually by myself.

So again: the question: How can I set a .net class as datasource on a report through the CR 2008 designer? (Is it possible?)
