Looking for Newsgroup on .Net and Crystal

  • Thread starter Thread starter Dave Girvitz
  • Start date Start date
If there was such a group and if it was anything like the documentation that
comes with Crystal - I'd bet there'd only be 1 or 2 messages and neither of
them would provide any useful information. :-)

I looked for ages for help on Crystal and .NET and eventually went out and
bought a WROX book on the subject. It provides a good deal of info but buy
one now if you can -- WROX went belly up and the book may be hard to find in
the future.

Believe me I know how you feel. Maybe you can tell me. I wrote a report
that works off a DataSet. It uses the following code:
reportData = newData; //Strongly typed DataSet received as parameter.
MonitorReport report = new MonitorReport(); //Report class.
report.SetDataSource(reportData);

According to what I saw, this is all I need. It works fine on my
development machine. When I deploy it (Using the 2 data_access, regwiz,
vc_crt and vc_stl merge modules), the end user gets a database login screen.

Any ideas on what could be going on. I've tried adding routines to add
garbage login information and having the client install MDAC.
Thanks,
Dave
 
Found the bug...It appears that Crystal in .Net, when deployed to a client,
cannot properly handle multitable disconnected DataSets. The workaround was
to reduce the data to a single table, Generate and xsd and use the schema to
redo the report.
