Crystal Reports  

Crystal Report With Search Functionality in ASP.NET

Here I will display an Employee report. The user can see any employee report by typing his/her name.

Now we will learn this step-by-step.

The following is my SQL Server table, for which I will show a Crystal Report.

Now on your aspx page add a text box, button and a report viewer as in the following:

  1. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="EmployeeReport.aspx.cs" Inherits="EmployeeReport" %>  
  2. <%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"  
  3.     Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>  
  4. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">  
  5. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  6. <head runat="server">  
  7.     <title>Employee Report</title>  
  8. </head>  
  9. <body>  
  10.     <form id="form1" runat="server">  
  11.     <div>  
  12.         <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" width="70%" height="300px" align="center"  
  13.             style="border: solid 2px gray;">  
  14.             <tr>  
  15.                 <td align="center" style="background-color: SkyBlue;">  
  16.                     Employee Name:#  
  17.                     <asp:TextBox ID="txtEmployeeName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>  
  18.                     <asp:Button ID="btnShowReport" runat="server" Text="Show Report" OnClick="btnShowReport_Click" />  
  19.                 </td>  
  20.             </tr>  
  21.             <tr>  
  22.                 <td align="center">  
  23.                     <asp:Panel ID="pnlReport" runat="server" Height="400px">  
  24.                         <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="true" />  
  25.                     </asp:Panel>  
  26.                 </td>  
  27.             </tr>  
  28.         </table>           
  29.     </div>  
  30.     </form>  
  31. </body>  
  32. </html>  
Now the aspx.cs code is:
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections;  
  3. using System.Configuration;  
  4. using System.Data;  
  5. using System.Linq;  
  6. using System.Web;  
  7. using System.Web.Security;  
  8. using System.Web.UI;  
  9. using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;  
  10. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  11. using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;  
  12. using System.Xml.Linq;  
  13. using System.Data;  
  14. using System.Data.SqlClient;  
  15. using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;  
  16.   
  17.   
  18. public partial class EmployeeReport : System.Web.UI.Page  
  19. {  
  20.     SqlConnection con;      
  21.     SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();  
  22.     DataSet ds = new DataSet();  
  23.   
  24.     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  25.     {  
  26.   
  27.     }  
  28.     protected void btnShowReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  29.     {  
  30.         con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=MyPC\SqlServer2k8;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=Test");  
  31.         da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Employee where EmployeeName like '%" + txtEmployeeName.Text + "%' ", con);  
  32.         da.Fill(ds);  
  33.         ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();  
  34.         rd.Load(Server.MapPath("ShowEmployeeReport.rpt"));  
  35.         rd.SetDataSource(ds.Tables[0]);  
  36.         CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd;  
  37.     }  
  38. }  
Now run the application:

run the application
                                                                    Image 10.

output
                                                                  Image 11.
