    Generating a Simple Crystal Report using VS 2005 - Choosing a Style for the Report


    (Page 6 of 7 )

    When you click on the Finish button in the above screen you will have completed all the tasks related to data to be displayed. In this step you will choose the style from an available list of styles. Here the last in the list, Maroon/Teal box, is chosen.

    Design View of generated report

    When you click Finish you will have created the report. At this point you will see two new windows, which are described here. These two windows show the various report fields in a node tree, and the design pane of the report.

    Accessing various report fields

    The Fields Explorer window shows all the different fields. This is the same as the ones you would find in the earlier versions of Crystal Report, such as Crystal Report 8.5. In a more elaborate and complex report you may need a combination of all of these fields.

    Design pane of the report

    The design pane of the report is also similar to the ones you would find in the earlier Crystal Report versions, such as 8.5. This is the well know banded report with header, footer, and data-related sections. You could drag and drop fields from the Field Explorer onto these sections if you were to design a report from scratch.
