Deding Crystal Reports (Crystal Report) has a standard report tool for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, while upgrading to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. Its advantages are: 1. In the .NET platform, you can easily create an interactive, high-quality report content, which is the main advantage of Crystal Reports; 2. Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET, you can The Web platform and the Windows platform bearer, and the Crystal report is published on the web server as a report web service; 3. Use the WEB application created by Crystal Report to deepen the chart and filter information as needed. In .NET, the chart is actually a Crystal report that interacts with other controls in the application. Here I introduce you how to browse the crystal report in the Windows Form Application.
Design steps:
1. Software Environment: Requires the system already installed Visual Studio .NET integration development system, only the .NET Framework SDK does not implement this effect, becoming the .NET Framework SDK without a crystal report control.
2. Newly built a Visual C # item Windows application, set the text = "Crystal Report Browser", startPosition = cENTERSCREEN / / Program starts to appear in the center, and other properties remain default;
3, drag into a CrystalReportViewer from the toolbox, a button, an OpenFiledialog, to the form.
The form layout of the entire designer simply puts Button1 in the middle of the form bottom, no longer need additional layout.
Set crystalReportViewer1 following properties: this.crystalReportViewer1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill; // stop mode to expand to fill the entire window @ DockPaddingthis.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Bottom = 50; // bottom vacated Button placement region this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Left = 5; this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Right = 5; this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Top = 5; this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = null; // to not report resource loading Set the properties of Button1 as follows:
This.Button1.Anchor = system.windows.Forms.Anchorstyles.bottom; / / Keeping this with the form of this.Button1.Text = "Open Report";
OpenFileDialog1 is the control to open the file and set its properties as follows:
This.openfiledialog1.filter = "Crystal Report (* .rpt) | * .rpt | All files (*. *) | *. *"; // Provide the file type of the open file dialog, the default type is this string Top of the most defined type this.openfiledialog1.title = "Open Crystal Report"; // Open the title of the file dialog
FIG layout effects as follows: 4, double-click Button1, add button1_Click click event: private void button1_Click (object sender, System.EventArgs e) {try {if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog () == DialogResult.OK) this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = @ OpenFileDialog1.FileName; // Load the crystal report, bind the report file to the CrystalReportView control;} catch (exception error) {messagebox.show (error.toString (), "Error");}}
5, ok! Press CTRL F5 to run.
You can browse the existing report instances in your system:
