Crystal Reports for VS 2010 Chart Legend/Labels - vb.net

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.

Referencing fields in ACCESS DB in Visual Studio for WinForm App

Newer to getting started with Visual Studio, but running into an issue i'm certain the pro's on here can answer.
I have an ACCESS DB data source connection to the Windows Form App I am building with Visual Basic programming in Visual Studio. For some reason when debugging, it is saying there is no amount of rows in the data, but clearly there is when you see the picture. I simply wanted to have a label update if a selection is made from a combo box based on a column and row entered on the data source.
How do I properly reference the Row 1, Column "BOM" from the Access DB in my line of code for the value to show up as "Dawn Page" for the label text? I get you have the 'datasource.datatable' precursor to the rest.

Unique bar codes assigned to a machine and then storing attributes in Visual Studio

My company wants me to try and incorporate a free bar code scanner into the VB.NET Visual Studio database that I am currently building. The hope is that we can take a stack of sticker bar codes into a facility, take a picture of the bar code, place the sticker onto a machine, and fill out an attribute form. The bar code sticker would then serve as an easy way to reference the data in the database from tablets via picture.
I have done some research on this and cannot find much about assigning printed bar codes. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
I've done this a long time ago with a Zebra printer and iTextSharp:
https://github.com/kusl/itextsharp/blob/master/tags/iTextSharp_5_4_5/src/core/iTextSharp/text/pdf/Barcode.cs
https://github.com/kusl/itextsharp/blob/master/tags/iTextSharp_5_4_5/src/core/iTextSharp/text/pdf/BarcodeQRCode.cs
I don't have access to the code anymore but what I did was to render the barcode inside a bitmap control from a given string, then get the bytes and store them on a SQL Server table in a binary datatype field. Then I could query it from the application, from Crystal Reports or SQL Server Reporting Services.
For uniqueness, you could generate a GUID.

How to redesign the Table in Report wizard in C#

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

How to display an image in every page of a table in MIcrosoft Report rdlc

I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to display an image in every page of a Microsoft Report rdlc that has a table.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 ultimate, c#, asp.net 4.5, sql 2008
This is a very simple report: ReportS4.rdlc
It has one image at the top of the body, (not a header) and a tablix after it.
Everything works fine, except the image is only displayed in the first page of the report.
I tried setting the RepeatWith to the tablix id with no success.
Thanks for the help
