[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am migrating our appn VC++ 6.0 code to VS 2010(MFC code compiled in VS2010). I could able to compile all the code in VS 2010 and i am created vb.net report application using crystalreport viewer, it working fine, afterthat i am converted vb.net code to C#.

My questions are,

1) how to add crystalreportviewer control in VC++ (searched not found) or alternative any control is available in vc++ using same c# code?

2) if its possible , to load rpt files without viewer control ? ,if yes, please provide me sample code.

Regards,

Hi Again Esha,

Why are you writing in VB and then converting to C#, would it not make more sense to just write in C#... but I don't want to know...

1. It's the same, add a form to your app and then add the viewer to the form. C# it looks like this and ONCE AGAIN GO TO OUR DOWNLOAD PAGE AND GET SOME OF THEM...

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications

rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;

crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;

2. Don't set the report to the viewer, same as above:

#using "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll"
#using "CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll"

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine::ReportDocument^ reportDocument = gcnew CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine::ReportDocument();

reportDocument->FileName = ".//don.rpt";

I found one, since you never looked, to get you going. It's written in C++, just change the assemblies to CR for VS 2010

General

Crystal Reports .NET - All Sample Applications

This set includes the following samples:

cr_net_sdk_tutorial_samples_en.zip

crsdk_net_samples_12.zip

NET-CPP2005_CRNET_CR115_Change_Record-Selection-Formula.zip

#using <C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll>

#using <C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll>

#using <C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll>

And comment out the Page event, seems they don't work in 2010, we changed the event handler:

// this->crViewer->ClickPage += new CrystalDecisions::Windows::Forms::PageMouseEventHandler (this,&ViewForm::crystalReportViewer1_ClickPage);

// this->crViewer->DoubleClickPage += new CrystalDecisions::Windows::Forms::PageMouseEventHandler (this,&ViewForm::crystalReportViewer1_ClickPage);

Hi DON,

Thanks you for your reply !

Have you given sample code and sample guide, I am successfully created Report Application in C#.

I think, I am in final Stage, how to mix VC++ code (MFC CODE COMPILED IN VS2010) to C# report application code?

Please help me..... This is my life first time, I am facing more difficulties ,

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR HELP

PLEASE ...................HELP ME

Thanks in Advance !

I don't have any examples but you can compile your C# app into a dll, you have to change your project or create a new one, and then you can pass the report object from your C++ app to the dll to process.

Lots of people do this so search Microsoft's site on how to call a managed dll from a C++ app.

Thanks

Don
