Set CssClass in CR won't provide styles in Crystal Reports!

Cynthia

I am trying to apply CSS styling to Crystal Report with following steps-:

1. Right-click in the Report Designer and select Set CSS Class.

2. In the Object Scope field, select the objects or sections you would like the class to be applied to.

3. Enter the name of the class in the CSS Class Name field

4. Save the report.

5. Access the .aspx file in your project.

6. In the HTML tab of the .aspx file, reference an external style sheet that has the class already defined, or enter the class value.

I have also tried to Set CSS Classname in format editor but it’s not happening.

Even after setting the CSS classname , I am not getting any css style in my reports.

I have the proper CSS file & I am using Crystal report Version=13.0.3500.0. & Visual Studio is 2015.

Any idea how can we implement CSS styling in crystal reports?

I found a solution for above problem. If anyone faces same problem , please refer to the link-:

http://www.computercabal.com/2012/03/how-to-use-custom-styles-and-classes.html

After going through the link you will understand that we need to add css styling in iframe of Report viewer .

For e.g.-

Add this jquery in Report viewer aspx page-

And add this code in Report viewer code behind-

rpt.SetCssClass(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ObjectScope.AllReportObjectsInPageHeaderSections, "cssb")

It will work .

Thanks

I have tried the same way as you are mentioning above. The problem is even after doing it correctly, in the reports the Css styling is not coming.

1.Right-click in the embedded Crystal Reports Designer and select Set CSS Class.
2.In the Object Scope field, select the objects or sections you would like the class to be applied to.
3.Enter the name of the class in the CSS Class Name field.
( Use CssClass in the Properties window to view, edit, or delete the class values for a specific report object or section.)
4.Click OK.
5.Save the report.
6.Access the .aspx file in your project.
7.In the HTML tab of the .aspx file, reference an external style sheet that has the class already defined, or enter the class value.
For example:
