Don't do that way, Use PUSH method in crystal report which will reduce lot of headaches
Crystal Reports PUSH method using ASP.NET[^]

Can the push method be used in visual basic 2008 as well? we are required only to use visual basic 2008.thank you

Of course you can. If you use Push method, then you don't need to change database & other things. For example, if you develop reports using PUSH method then you don't need to modify the reports when your database type changed(Ex. SQL server to MySql). In PUSH method you are just sending the data from Dataset.

This link in my answer is the same. Its a simple one(And I have searched in web but couldn't get simpler than this). Just try it. For C# to VB.NET code conversion use this convertor Convert C# to VB.NET
