Hi Ramesh,
There is no option for CreateTextFormatOptions under CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.

Also missing Text under ExportFormatType.

Please refer screen shot.
I am using, v2.0.50727 CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll
And Framework 3.5 dot net project.

Hi Hariharan,

The code is in vb, change it to c#.
Dim MyReportDocument As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = ReportName

Dim Field As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues

Dim Value As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

Try

If Not ParamName Is Nothing Then

For i As Integer = 0 To ParamName.Length - 1

Field = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues

Value = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

Value.Value = ParamValues(i)

Field.Add(Value)

MyReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields(ParamName(i)).ApplyCurrentValues(Field)

Next

End If

CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.CharactersPerInch = 16

CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.LinesPerPage = 50

MyReportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.Text, "c:\pleasework1.txt")

'MyReportDocument.PrintOptions.PrinterName = ""

'MyReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 0, 0)

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.OKOnly, "Print Report")

Finally

MyReportDocument.Close()

MyReportDocument.Dispose()

End Try

End Sub
