Datagrid

[Shahid]

I am trying to copy a report that was created in Crystal Reports and
attempting to do it in ASP.NET using datagrids, tables, etc.

I know I can integrate crystal with ASP.NET but we want to add more
customization to it.

I have had luck using tables but it is only because it is mostly
hardcoded. Has anybody done something like this? Is DataGrid the only
available resource?

Thank you
Shahid

Hello Shahid,

You need Crystal's Server Merge module (download from the crystal site),
it's server side logic for your reports.
You point the report and specify the datasource u need for this, and it start
works in ASP.net

I recomend to look at crystal examples related to the web.
Samples are there http://www.businessobjects.com/products/dev_zone/net/gettingstarted.asp?ref=devzone_netzone_nav
and description of deployment is there http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...crtskdeployingweborwebserviceapplications.asp
