Hello All,
I am using Crystal reports in my windows application. Currently the method
that I am using to create the report is as follows:
1) Create a SQL Stored Procedure that would return the data for the report.
2) Create a Dataset from the SPcreated in Step 1
3) Create fields on the report mapping them to the fields of the dataset.
4) At run time, fill the dataset so that the report displays the data to
the user
In the above approach, all my report fields are decided at design time. If I
make any changes to my stored procedure or I want to add new fields on the
report, I have to follow the above steps all over again. On changing the
data source, the fields on the report are lost.
I want to create the report fields at run time or in some better way than
the above mentioned method. I need some examples and explanation on how to
go about doing all this.
If any one has other ideas in creating reports efficiently, it would be
highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
