    Generating a Simple Crystal Report using VS 2005 - Displaying the Report


    (Page 7 of 7 )

    Providing authentication

    In order to display the report, when you build and run the project, you will have to provide the authentication information which will be presented to you. The Main Report will be embedded in Form1, and will be revealed when you are properly authenticated.

    Displayed Report

    After you click the Finish button, the report displays as shown in the next picture. On the left pane you see the Grouping, in this case the various cities the employees come from, and on the right you see the related personal information of the employee.

    From the above window's main menu at the top, you can export the report; print the report; refresh the report; toggle the Group tree; search for text; zoom up and down; and navigate the report.

    Class View of the Report

    Since the report finds itself on a form, which is a class, you may also find the class view by right clicking the Form1.vb in the Solution Explorer and choosing the View Class Diagram menu item.

    Summary

    This tutorial describes the very basic steps needed to create a report using the wizard. The Crystal Report creation process is extremely easy and fast. The interface is very intuitive. If you have worked on any other reporting software such as the earlier versions of Crystal Report, creating Crystal Reports in VS 2005 is a piece of cake.
