hi,:)

I'm new to c#.net. i need ur help.
How to send the report file to the printer without showing the report file

i had tried with this code, but shows error.

string path = Application.StartupPath;
int index = path.LastIndexOf("\\bin");
path = path.Substring(0, index + 1);

Reports.PurchaseOrder _vendorPO = new PrjAccounts.Reports.PurchaseOrder();
_vendorPO.SetDataSource(_getDT);

ReportClass crReportDocument = new ReportClass();
crReportDocument.FileName = path + @"Reports\PurchaseOrder.rpt";

crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 1, 1);
//error in this line its not getting the filename properly
//error in file:c:\document\temp\PurchaseOrder.rpt
//:unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.


Thanks in advance

OK, two things. Firstly - you should separate your two bits of code. if you set crReportDocument.FileName to a fixed string, does it still work.

Secondly, the error "Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters" doesn't sound like the error is to do with the filename to me, sounds more like a database error.

hi sam,
thanks for replying me.
i think its works. the string path is dynamically created path from Application.StartupPath; and remaining string is where the crystal report file resides.

and its not a database error, since its shows the error message after executing the line
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 1, 1);

please reply me asap so that i can proceed my work.


Thanks in advance

I have no idea - you say everything is ok, but it doesn't work - something must be wrong, either the file path (in which case I would expect an error such as "File not found") or the connection to the database is failing.

I still believe its more likely to be a database connection error, but have no way of proving or diproving that based on the information you have provided.

A google comes up with http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-...-3ead3b803a4d/ which looks pretty comprehensive.. Several different variations on the problem and all solved.

If you are EVER stuck on an error, a quote search on Google should be your first port of call...
