XML and Crystal Report .NET

[LL]

I am looking for online Crystal Report articles or VB samples to accomplish
the following scenario.

(In .NET Windows application)
1) User downloads an Xml document to local computer.
2) When Preview button is clicked, Crystal report will format the Xml
document into reports and display them to the user.

Thanks for your help.

You have to know the format that the XML will be in prior to creating the
report. Build a dataset using this schema and build the report using this
schema. When you run the program load the XML into a dataset and assign the
dataset to the report.

The sample code is in Chapter 14 of my free ebook.
