Passing parameters to Crystal Reports at runtime with c# By  Shashi Ray September 29, 2008

This article shows how to pass parameters to a Crystl Reports at runtime in C#.

 

This small article shows how you can create and pass parameters value at runtime in a Crystal Report from your UI. In my application, I am using a ReportViewer control in Visual Studio 2005 to view the report.

Note: To learn more about how to generate reports in a ReportViewer, read this free book: Free Book: Reports using Report Viewer in Visual Studio 2005  The main functionality is defined in the ReportParameter method listed below. In this method, I create a ParameterFields object, which is a collection of parameters.    ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields(); After that, I create ParameterField, set its name and values and the value I pass is from the DropDownlList on my page. You can pass value from any control you want.    ParameterField pfItemYr = new ParameterField(); pfItemYr.ParameterFieldName = "year"; //year is Crystal Report Parameter name. ParameterDiscreteValue dcItemYr = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); dcItemYr.Value = DropDownList1.SelectedValue; pfItemYr.CurrentValues.Add(dcItemYr);  After that I add parameter to the ParameterFields. If you have multiple parameters, you can create and add them using the similar process.   paramFields.Add(pfItemYr); The last step is to set ParameterFieldInfo property of the CrystalReportViewer control to ParameterFields I created.   CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;  Here is the complete code of the page.  using  CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;using CrystalDecisions.Shared; public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page{

ParameterDiscreteValue dcItemYr = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); dcItemYr.Value = DropDownList1.SelectedValue; pfItemYr.CurrentValues.Add(dcItemYr); paramFields.Add(pfItemYr); CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields; }}  Note: To learn more about how to generate reports in a ReportViewer, read this free book: Free Book: Reports using Report Viewer in Visual Studio 2005
