Hi All,

I am creating windows application with crystal reports. To access the crystal report we have to give full path of the crystal report like below.

C#

cryreport.Load("D:/AddressManagement/Reports/Village.rpt");
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryreport;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

If we want to give this project to client we also have to give reports to client with exe file.

So i have created Set up and deployment project for this application and i have put all reports in the Application folder of Set up and deployment project.

So my question is that after putting reports in the application folder what path i have to give in
cryreport.Load(..........);

Please any one can help me in this. I need it in urgent.

Thanks and in regards in advance.

These values you can use as to get the root location where the setup in actually being installed and then further sub directories can be added with any of them to locate the folder (same as used in setup project) which contains the .rpt files.

For asp.net application:

HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath;

For Windows App using VB.Net:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

You can do this way:

Put all your .rpt files in the debug folder of your application.

And write this in your code:

C#

string paths = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + ".\\Village.rpt";
            cryreport.Load(paths);

And In setup and deployment put all your .rpt files along with .exe in application folder.

hope it helps :)

Thanks for all your help.

Finally I got the solution

C#
Application.StartupPath + "\\" + "MyReport.rpt";

VB
Application.StartupPath & "\" & "MyReport.rpt";

Revert back to me if you still find problem.
