Visual Studio 2008 Crystal XI R2 Database Logon Connection Problem

I am converting from vb6 to .net and while trying to get crystal 11 to work in dot .net. I am using crystal report x1 r2.

i noticed that CRAXDRT.DatabaseTable.ConnectionProperties doesn't seem to work the same way it used to. I used it to pass the database password to the report.

for example CRXTable.ConnectionProperties("Database Name") would return the database name in vb6. CRXTable being CRAXDRT.DatabaseTable. In Visual studio it doesn't seem to return anything at all, its not even a string

Are you supposed to use something else to provide the password to the report in visual studio?
