CrystalReportViewer Printing

Hi,
I have an application in VB.Net 2008 that uses CrystalReportViewer to print reports. The app works fine and prints out the correct reports. However, when I issue the .PrintReport method, a standard dialog comes up requiring the user to select a printer. My VB app launches 3 reports in a row, and each report requires the user to select a printer. To further complicate matters, I am using multiple montitors and the dialog box always shows up on Monitor 1, whereas my app is displaying on monitor 2. I would like to be able to suppress the printer dialog box and simply send the report to the default printer. Is there anyway that I can do this?
Thanks

Hi, Al;
Instead of using the PrintReport method, use the PrintToPrinter method of the ReportDocument object.
You can specify the printer if you need to as well.
ie:
crReportDocument.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "printer1"
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 1)
Regards,
Jonathan

Crystalreportviewer print button event postback issue

Post Author: krishna.moorthi
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have the VS2003.Net and crystalreports10 for developing reports in our appliction.
When the print button clicked in the crystalreportsviewer,based on the entered no of pages in printerdialog the page_load is happening multiply with the no of pages .
Example: I have entered Pages =2 then the page_load will execute the 4 time (CRViewer having the 7 pages)
why this is happening ...in behind any reason for this ..help would be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Look for the search box in the top right corner of this web page. Enter the following string: 'Communication error crystal net'. You should get a number of results. See if any of those help.

Export and Print icons missing from report viewer

I'm currently embedding crystal within a wicket application in which I'm making use of the getHtmlContent() method to retrieve the report's HTML. For whatever reason, I'm not able to get either the export or print icons (on the top left side of the viewer). Is this because I'm using the getHtmlContent() method or do I have something misconfigured somewhere? Setting the setHasExportButton(true) and setHasPrintButton(true) on the report viewer object has no effect.
If I run the same report using the generated JSP outside of my application (within tomcat), I see the export/print buttons. I notice the JSP makes use of the processHttpRequest() method. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Louis
- The getHtmlContent() method handles the user's request to generate the HTML for the report and returns the HTML as a String.
Note: Either the getHtmlContent method or the processHttpRequest method can be used to handle the user's request to generate the HTML for the report, depending on how you write your JSP. If the viewer's content is displayed more than once, then the getHtmlContent method is more efficient, because the request is processed once and the resulting HTML string can be used multiple times. In this case, you must set the content type of the HTML, as recommended in the table. Additionally, using getHtmlContent sets setOwnPage to false and disables exporting and printing.
- The setOwnPage(true) and processHttpRequest() method should be used if you want the export and print button to appear in the report viewed through Crystal Report Viewer.
Following is the snippet of code which shows you how to use these 2 methods.
//Get the IReportSource object from sesion and pass it to the viewer
     IReportSource reportSource = (IReportSource)session.getAttribute("reportSource");
Create the viewer and render the report -
     //create the CrystalReportViewer object
     CrystalReportViewer oCrystalReportViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     //set the reportsource property of the viewer
     oCrystalReportViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
     //set viewer attributes
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnPage(true);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnForm(true);
     //set the CrystalReportViewer print mode
     //oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.PDF);
     //process the report
     oCrystalReportViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
Hope this helps you .

Crystal Reports XI and Sun One 6.1 web server SP 5 Error finding JNDI name

I am trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report in a JSP using Sun One 6.1 Web server sp 5.
At this point I am getting the error �Error finding JNDI name� on Sun One

Dynamic loading of an image - Works in designer, not in webapp

Hi there,
I have looked through the forums for an answer to my question and thought that I had found an answer to my question until it came time to publish the report to my web application.
My report uses a dynamic image formula using the Format Graphic > Picture > Graphic > X-2 buttons. Unlike other suggestions on the forum, the image isn't stored anywhere i.e. on a network, C drive. Instead my web application (a special design program) generates images itself using parameters from a http request.
In the Crystal Reports 2008 designer this works fine and the image changes with changes in the parameters I give in the http request in the formula.
Example request;
"http://localhost:8080/demoMYSQL/servlet/em.cabbench.CabBenchSrv?requestType=getStaticDrawing&imageType=2D&scale=1.6&solid=1&design=MV-120-XLPE-001"
However, when I deploy the report to my web application, it appears as though the formula isn't getting validated as the above request is not logged in my server logs and the default image shows up.
The report is displayed using JSP. I can show this is needed.
Any ideas
Much appreciated
Nick Hirst

OK Here goes,
Formula:
"http://localhost:8080/demoMYSQL/servlet/em.cabbench.CabBenchSrv?requestType=getStaticDrawing&imageType=2D&scale=6&layerscale3d=0.03&extrusionlength3d=0.4&corelabellevel=1&solid=1&userid=admin&password=admin&design=" + {designHeader/header/headerAtt.design}
I dont think the connection is a problem. The problem was found using the application on a server, however I am now using my test environment which is a local Apache tomcat service and the problem still occurs.
I am publishing to the web using the JRC component in JSP files. Its a bit technical so they are explained here. Bold are my comments posted here.

Can anybody tell me why I am getting this error??
Any help will be appreciated.

The problem may be that you are setting your report date parameters as a string when you pass the value to the report.   If the JRC does not recognize the parameter value as the correct type, it will throw the error you see when trying to pass them to the report.
If they are a date type or a date time type in the report, they must be set as such using the Java Calendar object.
Below is an example of how one would pass a date parameter to a report:
//DATE VALUE PARAMETER.
     Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
     calendar.clear();
     calendar.set(2004, 1, 17);
     Date dateParamVal = calendar.getTime();
     pfieldDate.setName("dateParam");
     pfieldDVDate.setValue(dateParamVal);
     //Add the parameter field values to the Values collection object.
     vals5.add(pfieldDVDate);
     //Set the current Values collection for each parameter field.
     pfieldDate.setCurrentValues(vals5);
     //Add each parameter field to the Fields collection.
     //The Fields object is now ready to be used with the viewer.
     parameterFields.add(pfieldDate);
     //DATE-TIME VALUE PARAMETER.
     Calendar calendar2 = Calendar.getInstance();
     calendar2.clear();
     calendar2.set(2002, 5, 12, 8, 23, 15);
     Date dateTimeParamVal = calendar2.getTime();
     pfieldDateTime.setName("dateTimeParam");
     pfieldDVDateTime.setValue(dateTimeParamVal);
     //Add the parameter field values to the Values collection object.
     vals6.add(pfieldDVDateTime);
     //Set the current Values collection for each parameter field.
     pfieldDateTime.setCurrentValues(vals6);

Printing to PDF from CrystalReportViewing returns blank page

Hi All,
   I have a web report that I run. When the report generates in the CrystalReportViewer I see my results. However, if I click the button to Print to PDF, it results in a PDF with no data. If I click on the Next button as well to go to the next page in my report, it returns blank results.
This apparently started happening when I used date parameters being passed to my stored procedure:
        parameterField = report.ParameterFields("@callstdate")
        parameterField2 = report.ParameterFields("@callendate")
I'm using VS 2008 and CR2008.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you in advance,

1)Any export type I use returns no data on the exported report
2)Changed PDF to ActiveX and it printed the report with no data
3)Remove parameters from my webapp and let the Viewer prompt for them. Now PDF works and everything else.
Here's my code:
    Protected Sub display_report()
        parameterField.CurrentValues.Clear()
        parameterField2.CurrentValues.Clear()
        parameterField3.CurrentValues.Clear()
        CrystalReportViewer2.ParameterFieldInfo.Clear()
        parameterField = report.ParameterFields("@callstdate")
        parameterField2 = report.ParameterFields("@callendate")
        parameterField3 = report.ParameterFields("Group")
        For Each li As ListItem In Me.ListBox1.Items
            If li.Selected = True Then
                ' Add all parameters value here
                parameterField3.CurrentValues.AddValue(li.Value)
            End If
        Next
        report.SetParameterValue("@callstdate", CDate(st_date.Text))
        report.SetParameterValue("@callendate", CDate(st_date.Text))
        CrystalReportViewer2.ReportSource = report
    End Sub

Print Button in CrystalReportViewer 64-bit x64 VS2005 does not respond

Hello,
I'm using the CrystalReportViewer-Control comes with VS2005 CR.
When I deploy the application to a W2008 R2-System the print button shows no response.
I'm still installed the CR-Runtime for x64 Systems on the Target-Server: CRRedist2005_X64.msi
For testpurposes I installed a VS2005 on a W2008 R2 Server. On this platform I installed the CR-SP1-Patch for the environment: crvs05sp1.exe. After that the print button responds on the test-system.
Then I created a setup project on this test-system with mergemodules: CrystalReportsRedist2005_x64.msm and deployed it to the target-server. But with no success. The button does not respond. It is not important for me, wether I deploy the CR-Runtime on the target-servers with the CRRedist2005_X64.msi or with a own setup-project. Because there are only six servers must be deployed.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance
Rolf

The CRRedist2005_x64.msi with Date 10/24/2007 is good. So we need to look for other issues. Are you using the ActiveX print control? If you are then the control must be downloaded from teh SAP website. There should be a directive for that in the web.config (assuming this is a web app). What you may need to do is documented at the below link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms225384(VS.80).aspx
The print control cab file is here:
http://support.businessobjects.com/CRforVS2005/PrintControl.cab
Also, see if kbse #[1356727|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] will help here.
2) Popup blocker in play?
3) Is this a new app or an upgrade?

CrystalReportViewer export/print report without CSS styles

Hello,
I've faced with one issue in CrystalReportViewer control and couldn't solve it by my own efforts. Before I wanted post it exactly to this forum I've found that some people already faced with that problem too...but nobody didn't receive any answer, so I have a big hope that I'll receive it here.
My problem is related to CrystalReportViewer control and especially to its styles. I have a test application which has just one aspx page which displays very simple test report (just 3 TextObjects, for test purposes) and each TextObject has its own style which stores in css file in my web site. So, CrystalReportViewer control displays report correct, but when I export/print this report to PDF or any other document all styles are lost.
Could someone help me with this issue or maybe just point me what thing I missed or just tuned incorrect.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Sasha

It's a pity that this control hasn't possibility to export/print report with its styles, because I think it is a very useful thing.
Thank you very much Adam, for your short and clear answer.

Printing from CrystalReportViewer causes program to be unresponsive.

We are running Crystal Reports 2008 with our VB.net programs. Users are reporting that the programs become unresponsive(5-10 seconds) once the print button is clicked from the Crystal report viewer. They reported that the dialog that shows the pages counting was causing the problem.
We created our own print button and hid the counting dialog but the form was still unresponsive for the same amount of time. We then moved the print process to a separate thread to get around this. We have a solution for this problem but would like to know if there is already a fix for this issue?

As long as this is on 1st print of a report and subsequent reports print within an acceptable time frame, then this is an expected behavior. See [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8029cc96-6ff3-2b10-47a2-b30ea790ea5b] for more details.

before calling the function make a XML by using dataset.writexml, in which you have to pass the name of your stored procedure.
for this you have to decalre commantype as stored procedure.

Print Crystal Report directly from C# without using Report Viewer

Hello All,
I need to print a crystal report directly to the printer without using ReportViewer in C#. I've a CrystalReport2(belowCode) which requires a query (Select * from JobHeader where JobNumber='J012345') to display all the data. I'm stuck with database connection
and putting all the data to DataAdapter in C# (Below Code). I also have 8 subreports in my CrystalReport2. Can somebody please give me hand on this? I'm struggling with it. Thanks.

"Missing parameter values." -- Export and Print only...

I have a web application and I am using CrystalReportViewer. I am passing several parameters to Crystal using:
report.SetParameterValue(field.Name, Session[field.Name]);
I have session variables which will hold parameters needed to pass into the report. The session variables are populated from controls on my webpage after an onclick event. This even not only populates session, but also passes parameters to the report with the following code:
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
Session["MapPathName"] = "./Reporting/CaseStudy.rpt";
report.FileName = Server.MapPath(Session["MapPathName"].ToString());
ParameterFields fields = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields();
fields = report.ParameterFields;
foreach (ParameterField field in fields)
report.SetParameterValue(field.Name, Session[field.Name]);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report;
This works great for reporting and is very extensible. However, when clicking on the "Print" or "Export" buttons on the toolbar I get "Missing parameter values." I attempted to export manually in code using the .ExportToStream function but I still get the error, "Missing parameter values."
I received this error also in Refresh, Search, and Navigate functions. This was corrected by calling a function that supplies the above code block to these functions. However, I do not see any events for controlling the Print nor the Export events.
QUESTION: How can I print or export a report when passing parameters using CrystalReportViewer? Thanks in advance!
P.S. - Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Edited by: KyleSavant on Jun 18, 2009 5:42 PM

There are no Export or Print events accessible for the viewer
Since it sounds like you are creating the reportdocument object in your click event, the settings on this object become out of scope on successive postbacks executed by other events.
to get around this without major changes, you can place your "report" object in session in this event and retrieve it from session on successive postbacks. This should solve your problems around navigation, printing and exporting. What you will need to do is check if the session object exists (usually in page_load or page_initialze) and if so, retrieve it from session and bind it to the viewer's reportsource. If the session object does not exist, then do nothing (ie you have not clicked your button yet that retrieves the parameter values from session and loads the report). Also, in your click event you can check if the report session object exists and if so, remove it so that it can be re-created with your new parameter values (ie i'm assuming the only time you want to set parameter values is in this event).

Printing report that has a parameter with multiple values crashes jvm

I am using BOE XI 4.0 as an unmanaged RAS.
I am able to preview a report that has a string discrete parameter that can have multiple values. If I give it a single value. It previews fine. If I give it an empty string it prints all values which is fine. If I give it two discrete values, it displays just those two.
However, if I try printing the report to a printer:
1 parameter value - prints fine.
2 parameter values - crashes jvm
empty string parameter value - crashes jvm
I would appreciate some direction on how to do this. It works in crystal reports for eclipse.
The test jsp I am using is based off of the samples. The print test jsp is the same as the preview test with the exception of the following code differences.:
preview report.jsp code
// Create a Viewer object
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
// Set the report source for the viewer to the ReportClientDocument's report source
viewer.setReportSource(clientDoc.getReportSource());
// Process the http request to view the report
viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out);
// Dispose of the viewer object
viewer.dispose();
print report jsp code
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
printOptions.setPrinterName("DELL");
try {
      clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
} catch (ReportSDKException ex1) {
      System.out.println("Message - " + ex1.getLocalizedMessage());
} catch (Exception ex2) {
      System.out.println("Message - " + ex2.getLocalizedMessage());
clientDoc.close();

Dynamic graph can't be displayed when it is printed

I've used crystal report xi for half an year. In recent days , I got two problems. One is that I directly insert a image into the rpt file as OLE object, then I find that the image can be displayed on the report but can be printed with ie's printing function. If I set the PrintMode with ACTIVEX mode of the crystalreportviewer and print with activex component , the image is also visible. The system environment is that crystal report xi and RAS are installed in the local machine, and web server is on the other machine. The report is invoked and displayed using crystalreportviewer component through jsp. The other is that I want to use new feature of dynamic graphic locations, and show different images in the report with the paths which are stored in the database. I've seen the threads in the crystal report forum, and known how to set the paths of images under the unmanagered RAS. But my situation is that I have to publish every rpt files to the BO CRS, so I don't know where I should place the images and how to set the paths. I try publishing the image into the same folder with rpt file in the CRS, but it can't work. Thanks in advance for any help.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Java Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly
