Generating a Simple Crystal Report using VS 2005 - Creating a Crystal Report Project

(Page 2 of 7 )

In this tutorial a Windows application with the Crystal Report will be created. The application's form will have the report contained in it after the report is created.

Create a new project, accessing it from the File menu. This opens the New Project window listing Business Intelligence Projects at the top as shown. In the Visual Studio Installed templates area, highlight Crystal Reports Application. The default has been changed to Diamond in the Name: field as shown. This application will have a Windows interface for a Crystal Report.

 

Project Folder Contents

The next picture shows the folder created by this application. It has a form, Form1.vb, and a yet to be completed CrystalReport1.rpt. This is just a template of a report; when the wizard completes the tasks, it will be filled with all the necessary information.
