I am doing a project using vb.net and sql server. I want to know how to create crystal report dynamically,i.e, when the user press the "Create report" button a form has to display where he can drag and drop the fields whichever he wants to display and save the report for future use
is not clear, you want a crystal report designer like the one in visual studio?
if so, you can check http://www.brothersoft.com/crystal-reports-download-79905.html

I am using a VB.NET 2013 form that has a Chart for my sales. I want to send this Graph to appear inside a Crystal Report XI Release 2 file as a report without redesign this chart in the crystal report.
How can I do that?
I think you are telling that any third party chart will send into crystal report?
If yes, then that is not possible. You have to redesign chart in crystal report as any third party things is not part of crystal report and report does not understand that.
Report have its own logic to show data even for chart/graph.
I created one rdlc file using report wizard in C#. Initially i chose some columns to display in the report.Later i want to include extra columns in the report which is already available in Table. Just i need to reopen the rdlc in report wizard and i want to change the table as Matrix instead of Stepped and add more columns,need to change group item.
Im using visual studio 2008, in that i cannot see some fields in that.Tool controls are get overlapping
How can i change some properties here or otherwise i have to delete the present rdlc file and start to Design the new report?
There are two ways you can do it.
if you created DataSet in the same project and used it as a base for your wizard, then you can make changes in that DataSet, open your report, open ReportData (under View, if you are using VS2013), open DataSets, right-click on DataSet in question and select Refresh option. This should bring new fields in DataSet definition of the report.
You can add new fields directly in XML definition of the report. To do it, right click on your report in Solution Explore and open it with XML editor. Here is the same question answered: Update datasouce in RDLC report
When i display a report to a user, they are able to click on the fields on the report. this highlights them and turns them blue. Does anybody know how to disable this? I was looking for a read only or a enabled property but no such luck.
Using vb.net 2010 and the built in version of Crystal 13.0.2
here is an example what the text field looks like when the user clicks on it
example.
Real simple question that I can't seem to find an answer to guys. How to I change the labels associated with charts in the version of crystal for Visual Studio 2010? Or can I?
I always end up with the labels showing the field name from my data source or like #sum..
So my question is how do change these in the version of crystal I am using? Or am I going to have to wing it and color fill some boxes and use text objects?
VS2010 version :10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
Crystal:13.0.5.891
In Crystal Reports, run the report. In preview mode, do a right click on the
chart itself, and then go to "Chart analyzer". This will take you into a
designer mode of the chart. By selecting the axis title, you can open it up
and modify the content.
I haven't done this in the .NET environment, but everything else I've done
in the .NET Crystal Reports Designer has been the same.
Or, a bit of a hack, but you could alter the data source view/proc presumably to give alias's to your variables & fields?
I admit, not the ideal answer but it should work.
In the layout screen of an SSRS designer e.g. Visual Studio, I have lost the report data panel.
It has disappeared and I can't remember what it is called in order to get it back.
This usually lists the following items:
Built-in Fields
Parameters
Images
Data Sources
Datasets
Previously it was in the same area as the general Toolbox and Server explorer panels.
Does anyone know how to restore it?
With a report (rdl) file selected in your solution, select View and then Report Data.
It is a shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+D.
If you are using BIDS with SQL 2008 R2 you can only get the "Report Data" menu by clicking inside the actual report layout itself.
Click inside the actual report layout.
Now select "View" from the main menu bar.
Now select "Report Data" which is the last item.
With a .rdl, .rdlc or similar file selected, you can either:
Click View -> Report Data or...
Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + D
For future people CTRL+ALT+D or just view > report data in ancient ssrs 2008 VS BI. In newer 2017 SSRS, it's still the same. Funny how they change a bunch of things around, yet kept this the same.
View -> Datasets (bottom of menu, above Refresh)
First you have to click on the report, Then
View -> Report Data
If you are working with SQL 2008 R2 then from View---->Report Data option at bottom
