Crystal Report using XSD File as source doesn't show data? - vb.net

I have a Crystal Report file I've created, using an .XSD file as the data source. As far as creation goes it's great, no problem. I can see the table and all the fields from it. I can drag them off the data explorer and onto the report.
The problem is when I go to preview or use the report. There's no data. Trying to browse the data in the data explorer? No data. But if I browse the XSD from within visual Studio, it shows me the data just fine.
Why am I not seeing any data from this report with an XSD as datasource?

external image in RDLC report

I'm trying to use an external image on a report in my application. It's a windows application form.
The property EnableExternalImages of localreport is True
The source of image is External
As value i'm trying this. file:///C:\image.png
I can see the image on the report from visual studio designer, but when I run my application I can't see the image on the report but only a red X.
What can I do?
UPDATE
I tried the same on a different computer and it works good. So the problem is with my laptop. Any idea?
I had a similar problem and spent two solid days finding a solution. In my case, I was using Dataset objects to populate the data on the report. So, before I refreshed the report, I saved the image into an array of bytes, then on the report set the image source to "Database", selected the corresponding Dataset object, then chose the column that contained the array of bytes. The images appeared in the report when viewing it in both a ReportViewer object and as a PDF file.
maybe its a permission problem? try from your laptop, put the image in a different location where permission is not needed like in documents folder and see if issue still the same.

PDF form using Cognos

We want to create a Cognos report which renders a PDF output with an editable text field. Some of the values in the report will be retrieved from Database and one editable text field should be available which a user can manually edit outside of the report studio using pdf editors.
How do we create this editable text field in cognos?
There isn't any method I'm aware of to do this shy of using some post-processing code external to Cognos to edit the PDF and insert what you're looking for in a particular location.
You would need to ask IBM to add an enhancement to Cognos to get this to happen.

Update SQL Database from Report (SSRS / Catch Export Event)

In an RDL file, if the user exports to PDF (let's say), I want to mark some rows from the report, in the MSSQL database, as being exported. Can I do that from the RDL itself?
The RDL is purely used for presenting the data. You cannot attach to the Export to PDF button in SSRS and then UPDATE the database.
An alternative would be to use an ASP.NET web page with the Report Viewer control with a custom button that exports to PDF and then calls some server side code to UPDATE the database with the marked rows.

Saving data in RDLC File

Can any one tell me if it is possible to save data inside an RDLC file, I am using the syncfusion Report Viewer and I want to be able to save the report it generates as a PDF, Execl ect but the problem we have is that we compute the values for the report, they are NOT COMMING FROM A DATABASE, so we tie them to a dataset and then generate the report, the problem I have found is that if I use the WFC service from Syncfusion to save the report and have to switch it back to remote then the data's not render.
Is there a free or payed for component out there that can take the RDLC file, DATA render the report then output a report that I can read in to the report viewer (output prefred RDLC with Data embed), looking at the example syncfusuion provide they have done this.
RDLC does't support to store data inside ReportDefinition.
FOR EXPORT
Due to some limintation platform itself can’t export report directly in Syncfusion ReportViewer in Silverlight , but through the WCF service can export the report .. Please find our online documentation section “How to export RDLC report in Silverlight “

This sample demonstrate export functionality inSyncfusion ReportViewer. Please find the sample from following location
