Hi
I have crystal reports in my windows application. I want to display all pages continuously by using scroll. I have seen that there is a property 'separatepages' in crystal report viewer for web applications. But unfortunately it doesn't found for my crystal report viewer. Is it available for windows application?
Is there anyway to display all pages and go to next page by scrolling? Or is there any way to set it pragmatically?

Instead of displaying the report in a crystal report viewer, you could convert it to a PDF and then just launch the PDF. Adobe displays all pages together with a scroll bar.

Here are the google results[^] for how to convert it.

Here is a method I use to launch pdfs after I've created them (it's in vb.net but should be easy to convert):

VB

Public Sub LaunchPDF(ByVal strFile As String)
    If strFile.Trim.Length <> 0 AndAlso System.IO.File.Exists(strFile.Trim) Then
        Try
            Process.Start(strFile.Trim)
        Catch ex As System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
            MessageBox.Show("To view a report after it has been turned into a PDF, your computer must have Adobe Reader." & _
                            vbCr & "Please download and install Adobe Reader from http://www.adobe.com.", gblstrFormText)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Unable to view PDF." & vbCr & "Error: " & ex.Message, gblstrFormText)
        End Try

    End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.
