Creating a Crystal Report for .NET

1. Open your Visual Studio and create a new project;
2. Select the Crystal Report template for Visual C# or Visual Basic;
3. Name and locate the report;
4. When the Crystal Report Gallery dialog box appears, accept the defaults of "Use Report Expert" and "Standard Report", and click "OK";
5. When Crystal Reports wizard dialogue pops up, expand "Create New Connection", and click "ADO.NET";
6. Browse and find "CustomerDataSet.xsd" in your downloaded sample dataset package (or any other dataset of your own), then click "Finish";

Fields and Style Setting

1. Click on the Tables node to expand;
2. Drag and drop the table name to the window titled Tables In Report, and click "Next";
3. To display fields on the report, select them at the Field tab, and click "Finish";
4. Modify the form so that it can preview and print the report;

Integration of EAN-13 Barcode Generator for Crystal Report

1. Drag and drop the field named "Barcode" to the report in Crystal Report1.rpt;
2. Open Form1.cs in Design view, and add Avapose.linearbarcode.winforms.dll to the project reference;
3. Double click Form1 to enter Form1.cs, and copy the sample code into the method Form_Load;
4. Using the namespace "Avapose.linearbarcode" if your report is created in C#.NET;
5. Run the report;

privatevoid Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OleDbConnection aConnection = new OleDbConnection(
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:/Demo/BarcodeDemoData.mdb");
aConnection.Open();
OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from Customer"
, aConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(ds);
//add a new column named "Barcode" to the DataSet, the new column data type is 
byte[]
ds.Tables[0].Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Barcode", typeof(byte[])));
Linear Barcode = new Linear();
Barcode. LinearBarcode = LinearBarcode.EAN13;
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
Barcode.BarcodeData = (int)dr["CustomerId"] + "";
byte[] imageData = Barcode.drawBarcodeAsBytes();
dr["Barcode"] = imageData;
}
CrystalReport1 rpt = new CrystalReport1();
rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
aConnection.Close();

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
Handles MyBase.Load

Dim aConnection As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data

Dim ds As New DataSet()
dataAdapter.Fill(ds)
'add a new column named "Barcode" to the DataSet, the new column data type is

Dim Barcode As new Linear()
Barcode. LinearBarcode = LinearBarcode.EAN13
For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows
Barcode.BarcodeData = CInt(dr("CustomerId")) & ""
Dim imageData As Byte() = Barcode.drawBarcodeAsBytes()
dr("Barcode") = imageData
Next
Dim rpt As New CrystalReport1()
rpt.SetDataSource(ds)
