as it happens this link is to the results of that search:

Hey Thanks Pheonyx...
I go through that website. Now i can see WPFviewer. As I am learning crystal reports following is my code
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
rd.Load(MyCrystalReportFilePath);
rd.SetDatabaseLogon("loginname", "password", "localhost", "DBNAme");
ds = LabelTemplates.GetTemplateDataset();
rd.SetDataSource(ds);
crystalReportsViewer1.ViewerCore.ReportSource = rd;
Last line its giving me error of "Object null reference" I dont know why its coming I have populated the report document. As you said I did lot of google for this but i didnt get the solution.If you know about this please let me know ...

Hi
Sorry I haven't responded sooner I have been away for 5 days. Have you stepped through your code and identified which object is null? Just before the last line executes you need to have a look at the various objects to identify why it is null and then google how to set that object.

The issue is resolved I was initializing crystalreportviewer control in the class constructor.Since that contraol was not loaded it was throwing me error. After that I initialize the control in form load . it was working fine.Thanks for your support.
