Sending data to crystal report by text box from C#

Soroosh

Hi Dears:

I am going to make a program that takes some text controls in a C# project and then when we submit the form the values of text boxes goes to a pre-made report and substitute there, then the user can print it.

for example in VS I have a text box that takes the Name, and I want in the crystal report to show this : I am [txtName]. that [txtName] have to be substitute by the value of text box txtName in VS and will be shown in Crystal Report.

and finally it will be :

I am Soroosh.

What should I do?

I do not need any Data Base. It's a DB Free Program.

Please if you know the answer tell me in details not in summary I am a newbie in C#.

Thanks in advance.

Well, really thanks for your help. But you know, I do not need Data Base, the example which you gave me has db that I do not really need db. My program is very easy I just want to send some data to CR and then print it. Just this.

Imagine printing a long and complicated form, I want make it computerized and let the customers to enter their information in my program and the program just send them to CR and then print it.

How should I do this? I found that I am really nothing in C#, but I love programming.
Thanks for your great time.

you can pass the value as a parameter to the crystalreportviewer

as follow:

ParameterField field = CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo[0];
    ParameterDiscreteValue value = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
    v1.Value = "yourname";
    field.CurrentValues.Add(value);
    CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
