Crystal Report in VB.NET Sample

on January 19, 2010

Download the same sample in VB6 & Crystal Report 8.5 from here or refer to this link about 'Server has not yet been opened'.

If you are using Visual Studio 2008, you do not need to have Crystal Report (as a separate software).

Change 'CRAXDRT.Report' to 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument'
Change 'CRAXDRT.Section' to 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section'
Change 'CRAXDRT.DatabaseTable' to 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table'

There is no such thing as CRAXDRT.Application. Use 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' to load document.

Overall, the VB.NET offers a much simpler implementation for reporting using Crystal Reports.
