New Message on dotNET User Group Hyd how to incorporate print Option with Crystal Reports (ASP.NET). Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 2 in Discussion From: Mahendrakumar8 1) Printing a Crystal Reports 9.0 from ASP.Net - Can't be done is the short answer. However, you can print from server side or export report to pdf on client and client can print etc. But The new Crystal Reports 10 extends the version 9 capabilities as well as the feature set of the bundled editions you may already be using, with: Report designer enhancements Report object repository updates More options to view, print and export .NET, Java� and COM report engines Simplified .Net merge modules Improved processing performance And much more... There is another option to print the crystal reports The clients browser using a created PDF file via Crystal Reports. Herewith the C# sharp code required:- // DEFINE CRYSTAL REPORTS VARIABLES ReportDocument crReportDocument = new ReportDocument(); ExportOptions crExportOptions = new ExportOptions(); DiskFileDestinationOptions crDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions(); string sFileName = "c:\\temp\\sample.pdf"; // SET CRYSTAL REPORT VARIABLES crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = sFileName; crReportDocument.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat; crReportDocument.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile; crReportDocument.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions; crReportDocument.Export() // WRITE SAMPLE.PDF FILE TO CLIENTS BROWSER Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.WriteFile(sFileName); Response.Flush(); Response.Close(); //DELETE THE EXPORTED FILE FROM DISK System.IO.File.Delete(sFileName); What you have to remember is that Error Checking must be written into your code to make sure that your PDF viewer is installed on the client machine otherwise the crash could be quite horrible for the user!!! Hope this will help those who are ready to pull their hair out on this! Thanks & Regards, A. Mahendra kumar View other groups in this category.
