Export CrystalReportViwer programatically

snufse · February 12th, 2008, 04:55 PM

I need to export a CrystalReportViewer programatically to a disk file and need to be able to set path & file name & entension (.pdf).

I've read about the CrystlReportViewer.ExportForm but I understand that opens a dialog box only.

Any ideas??

Have you looked at the CrystalReportViewer.ExportToStream method, to export to PDF.

I cannot find where this method is supported in vb (CrystalReportViewer.ExportToStream)

I don't have crystal reports installed myself, so I can't really give you much help. Depending on which version you have it might be called something else. Try searching the Crystal Reports documentation for "PDF" or "Export" or just browsing through intellisense.
