What happened to CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString?

Question

Hi,
I'm moving some code up from vb6, and the old ActiveX Reports Viewer.  The code used "CRAXDRT.Report.SQLQueryString".  This property contained the SQL query fired by the report.
In the new .Net version, I am unable to locate a property that gives me the SQL that the report used
My question:
In the .Net Crystal Report assemblies, how can I obtain the SQL Query fired by the report?
Thanks,
Scott Pearce

Hi Scott,
Here's the code to get it:
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
You CAN NOT apply changes to the SQL CR generates any more though on reports based on connection to the tables. You can however edit the SQL on reports based on Command Objects.
If you have a report that uses 1 or 2 tables then here's the code to convert it to a Command Object. If you have more tables then you'll have to do it manually:
        private void TableToCommand_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
            ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
            rcd = rptClientDoc;
            rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("Dwilliams1 - VAN-W-13-DWILLI", "xtreme", "sa", "pw");
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo oldConninfo;
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo newConnInfo = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table oldTbl;
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CommandTable newTbl = new CommandTable();
            oldTbl = (CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table)rcd.Database.Tables[0];
            oldConninfo = oldTbl.ConnectionInfo.Clone(true);
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            gp.FromString("");
            string sql = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out sql);
            PropertyBag QEProps = new PropertyBag();
            PropertyBag logonProps = new PropertyBag();
            //Set the attributes for the logonPropsBag
            logonProps.Add("Database", "xtreme");
            logonProps.Add("DSN", "Dwilliams1 - VAN-W-13-DWILLI");
            logonProps.Add("UseDSNProperties", "False");
            //Set the attributes
            QEProps.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_odbc.dll");
            QEProps.Add("QE_DatabaseName", "xtreme");
            QEProps.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "ODBC (RDO)");
            //Add the QE_LogonProperties we set in the logonProps Object
            QEProps.Add("QE_LogonProperties", logonProps);
            QEProps.Add("QE_ServerDescription", "Dwilliams1 - VAN-W-13-DWILLI");
            QEProps.Add("QE_SQLDB", "True");
            QEProps.Add("SSO Enabled", "False");
            newConnInfo.Attributes = QEProps;
            newConnInfo.UserName = "sa";
            newConnInfo.Password = "pw";
            newConnInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
            newTbl.ConnectionInfo = newConnInfo;
            newTbl.CommandText = sql;
            newTbl.Name = "Command";
                rcd.DatabaseController.SetTableLocationEx(oldTbl,newTbl);
                oldTbl =(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table) rcd.Database.Tables[0].Clone(true);
                rcd.DatabaseController.SetTableLocationEx(oldTbl, newTbl);
            // save the report to a new folder
            //rcd.SaveAs(rcd.DisplayName, "c:
Updated
", 0);
Look in the samples on altering the SQL of a command or use the same code above to do so.
Thank you
