Introduction

In my previous article, I described how to create Crystal Report with Oracle Views. In this article, I am going to demonstrate how to create a Crystal Report with ADO.NET D a t a T a b l e .

You will find this article very interesting, simple and easy to understand. This article needs basic knowledge of .NET.

Note: Please vote for this article.

Background

No background knowledge is needed for this article. This article is very simple and just requires verybasic knowledge of .NET. But I recommend reading my previous article as well, though it has no direct relation with this article.

Using the Code

Now enough of theory, we will move to our point. So here we go... I have created 2 sample tables for this project. Scripts of tables are as follows, with some sample insert query to have sample data.

i n s e r t i n t o t b l _ p r o j e c t v a l u e s ( 2 , ' A j a x A p p l i c a t i o n ' , 2 ) ;

i n s e r t i n t o t b l _ p r o j e c t _ g r o u p v a l u e s ( 1 , ' w i n d o w s a p p l i c a t i o n ' ) ;

i n s e r t i n t o t b l _ p r o j e c t _ g r o u p v a l u e s ( 2 , ' W e b a p p l i c a t i o n ' ) ;

First of all, create a project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and name it C r y s t a l R e p o r t W i t h O r a c l e .

Then create a form as f r m M a i n and add a Crystal report viewer control to this form.

Add a Reference to S y s t e m . D a t a . O r a c l e C l i e n t .

Step 1: Adding A DataSet and DataTable

Add a D a t a S e t to your Project and name it as m y D a t a S e t , as follows:

Now add a D a t a T a b l e to m y D a t a S e t :

Now add columns to your D a t a T a b l e as given below in the image.

Your column name and d a t a t y p e should be the same as that in your database.

Change the d a t a t y p e of the D a t a T a b l e columns as shown below:

Now save this D a t a T a b l e as m y _ d t .

Now we have created our D a t a S e t and D a t a T a b l e . The next step is to create a C r y s t a l R e p o r t .

Step 2: Adding A Crystal Report

Add a Crystal report to the project and name it as m y _ r p t .



Choose Using the report wizard.

Choose the data source from project data which is m y _ d a t a s e t in our case.



Choose the columns to be displayed on the report.

Add a group by column, if you want.



Now our designing part is complete.

Step 3: Binding Our Report to our DataSource

Below is the C# code to bind our report to the d a t a s o u r c e .
