You can pass an ADO.NET data source in to crystal and report off it. There are many, many articles dealing with how to do this, so I wont document it here.

How do I hide the + sign from the WinForms ReportViewer?

I'm a bit new to reportviewer so I have a question that could solve my doubts about it. I created a DataSet and bind the table using the DataSet and created a report and show the data using the reportviewer. Here comes the problem that I can't seems to solve it. Below were the pictures that I am showing to you guys.
Notice the + sign in the box? How to make the reportviewer that it wouldn't show the + sign and immediately shows every data that I put. I need to click several times in order to see the entire data inside the reportviewer like the picture below.
I just found the answer to that doubts. It is to unselect the 'Expand/collapse' groups check box when you were creating.

How to arrange fields in a vb.net report

I am using VS2010. I am trying to make reports using Report Viewer. This is how I have arranged my fields (using Table).
I want to make it look like this
You could use a list for this, which is like a repeater control in ASP.net if you are familiar:

Please help if having any idea about this. I have tried a lot of things. But not getting any fruitful solution.

It is possible. You shall have to set the sub-report as an on-demand report.

Displaying multiple Reports in a single report viewer

i want to know is it possible to bind my all crystal reports to a single reportviewer, somewhat in tabbed view or treevie. If tabbed then visible through navigation button.
If yes then how?
any help would be highly appreciated.

Having reviewed the micrososft documentation, it seems you can not bind multiple reports to a viewer. As suggested here:
"Displaying a report using the CrystalReportViewer control
The CrystalReportViewer control displays only one report at a time. Which report is displayed by the control is determined by which report you bind to your code. To tell the control which report to display, you bind the ReportSource property of the control to a particular report. At runtime, the control loads the report that is bound to the ReportSource property and displays it. "
The diocumentation goes on to say you can only bind a report type to the report source.
So, basically you need to build the multi view yourself. In my mind this can be done in two ways.
Create a report viewer for each
report (maybe using a tab control)
Create a single viewer and display
different reports based on what the user
selects in your application. i.e.
I have done something simular in the past, but rather than using the report viewer, i used crystal to export the report to pdf and displayed those to the user.
I hope this is clearer. :-)
Could you not hold your reports in a hierarchical structure in memory , which relates to a visible tree view and displayed the relevant report one at a time as the users selects various nodes..
If you can't pass a colection of reports to your viewer. I would hold a list of reports in a Dictionary or some other kind of list , which has a report and an identifier for that report.
Then display a tree view which represents the reports structure you have, with each node holding the id of the report it represents, when the user selects the a TreeView node, you can look up you report from the dictionary and load it into the report viewer.
I hope that makes sense...
