Solution 1

Instead of trying to extract the data from the datagridview, use the source of the data as a data source for Crystal.

For example if you're using a dataset, have a look at this article: Crystal Report with DataSet and DataTable using C#[^]

every search command will result different data on datagridview.i want to print all data which are showing in datagridview just in time.(send to crystalReport)
ok?

How do you do the filtering? If you filter the data from a dataset for example using a dataview, you can use the same dataview for Crystal. If you filter the data using SQL, the dataset already contains correct information.

a combobox is filtering by 5 indexes.
a combobox and a button and a textbox are filtering by another way.
a button will select all records from my table.
so it is not clear what will show in datagridview right now.

So this sounds like you're filling the datatable from the database (again if a datable is used). Of that is the case, after filtering your datatable contains the information shown in the datagridview hence it would be usable as a data source to Crystal.

got it.thanks.you mean i can use current datatable for crystal.right?

Exactly, that's my point :)

here is my code:
Collapse | Copy Code
con.Open();
cmd.CommandText = "select * from book order by book_id asc";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
grdAuthorTitles.DataSource = dt;
dataGridbook();

Fprint fprint = new Fprint();
CrystalReport2 cr=new CrystalReport2();
cr.SetDataSource(dt);
fprint.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr;
fprint.Show();
con.Close();

when running: error like this:
Invalid data source

what is my problem?

At what line do you get the error?

FM7 22-Aug-12 23:03pm

cr.SetDataSource(dt);

Ok, I see. Instead of setting the datatable as a data source to Crystal set, the DataSet the datatable belongs to.

If you haven't used a dataset at all, you can create one and copy the datatable into it.
