hi, i created a form with a crystal report viewer and in the below code i'm creating an instance of the report and passing in the reportsource.
Dim myform As New frmReport
        Dim ReportPath As String = ini.ReadString("DataSource", "GENLEDCASHDEP")
        myform.CRVreports.ReportSource = ReportPath

what i would like to do is allow the user to select the datasource for the report from the list of system datasources they have on their system. How can this be done
I've been searching and didn't find any help.

1.Make a DSN for connection in Crystal Report.
2.Right Click on your projent in solution Explorer
3.Add New Item.Select CrystalReport.rpt
4 create new connection from the DataSource Like Access/Excel(DAO),ADO.NET etc.
You selected one datasource out of one acording to your datasource which you want.
5 you justmake a choice of your dsn
6Now your crystal report has Datasource which you want to use in code bind.And you can bind your report.

this may also help you in code behind
            customerReport = new ReportDocument();
            string reportPath = Server.MapPath("CrystalReport.rpt");
            customerReport.Load(reportPath);


            string connstr = "DSN=vipin;UID=user;Pwd=pwd;Unicode=True;Persi st Security Info=True;";
            OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connstr);
            conn.Open();
            string searchstring = "SELECT costcentername,costcentercode FROM cstcenter where costcentercode in(SELECT distinct CostCenter FROM transac) ";
            OdbcDataAdapter adapter = new OdbcDataAdapter(searchstring, conn);

            DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();

            adapter.Fill(dataSet, "cstcenter");
            customerReport.SetDataSource(dataSet);
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = customerReport;
