Open Crystal Reports on Button Click using C# and VB.Net in Windows Form

Hi smile,

Refer below code.

You have to chnage the location of crystal report in Process.Start(@"CrystalReport.exe") in place of CrystalReport.exe you need to give full file location of crystal report.

Namespaces

C#

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

VB.Net

Imports System.IO
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

Code

C#

private void OpenCrystalReport(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Process.Start(@"CrystalReport.exe");
    Process notePad = new Process();
    notePad.StartInfo.FileName = "crw32.exe";
    ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
    string reportPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
    string reportFullPath = Path.Combine(reportPath, "CrystalReport1.rpt");
    notePad.StartInfo.Arguments = reportFullPath;
    notePad.Start();
}

Private Sub OpenCrystalReport(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
