C#VS 2.0 CrystalReport Question

[Guest]

Hi

Must you always use a Literal path for the CR?
// Example
DataSet theReportDataset = DataCalls.GetReportDate(parameter);
Report1 = new ReportDocument();
string reportPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + "Reports.rpt";
Report1.Load("Reports.rpt");
Report1.SetDataSource(theReportDataset);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Reports;
crystalReportViewer1.Visible = true;
\\
Is there not a way to reference the report thats within your project without
a path call?
//
Dim crReportDocuments As New ConfirmPrintAll
DealstoPrint = WS_DataService.getDealPrintList(parameter)
crReportDocuments.SetDataSource(DealstoPrint)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocuments
CrystalReportViewer1.Visible = True

Thanks
Brian

I'm not sure what your example is getting at, but there should be no
problem loading an .rpt file using a relative path (including just the
filename, if the .rpt is in the current directory).

Just be aware of where is the startup directory for your app. If you're
not able to load .rpt files by just mentioning their names, perhaps
your app isn't running in the startup directory you think it is.

Yes, the EXE is in either the Debug or Release Dir while the Rpt file wasjust
in the project dir.
Thanks
