Writing to crystal report from datagridview

[Cheryl]

Hi! I have a datagridview that create views for a dynamic dataset. Now I
would like to put the whole datagridview to a crystal report? Any ideas to
do this?

Thanks!

Hi,
Assuming that you are going to write an integrated report.
Caveat being a report change needs new instal of program on target
machine.
Assume you have a typed dataset.
Design your Report using the Visual Studio IDE. setting its datasource
to be the typed dataset.
Design a form with a CrystalReportViewer control on it.
(Available from the toolbox.)

Pass the underlying dataset of your datagridview to the Report form.
Invoke your report, set its datasource to be the incoming dataset and
hang it in the report viewer.

HTH

Thanks. That means that I can't simply generate the report by dynamcially
defining the columns I want and the positions with codes as in datagridview?
