| business objects crystal reports: Crystal Reports .NET Programming Brian Bischof, 2004 I wrote this book from the perspective of a programmer wanting to learn how to integrate reports within a .NET application. I've been working with Crystal Reports since Visual Basic 3 and it's always been difficult to find technical information on report writing. I spent a year and a half researching what .NET programmers need to successfully create, implement and deploy a Crystal Reports application. I even put the book on the internet for everyone to read for free all of last year. This generated an incredible number of emails from programmers telling me what they liked, disliked, and what was missing from the book. I learned that there are two distinct types of .NET programmers using Crystal Reports. The first type of programmer doesn't have much experience with Crystal Reports and wants a series of tutorials to help them build reports from scratch. For this programmer I wrote 13 chapters which teach you everything about adding reports to ASP.NET and Windows applications. It starts with the basics of building reports to adding charts, crosstab reports, sorting and grouping, subreports and using the formula editor with Basic syntax and Crystal syntax. The second type of programmer has been using Crystal Reports for years and is mostly concerned with how to do technical runtime customization of reports. For this programmer I researched and diagrammed the undocumented report object models. I included dozens of examples in both VB.NET and C# to show you how to modify reports, manipulate different data sources (XML, ADO.NET, ODBC, OLE DB, stored procedures with parameters), modify formulas and report parameters, and integrate .NET with the RAS and RDC. The dozens of emails I received when the book was online were instrumental for doing a major revision of many chapters before publishing the book in hardcopy format. Since releasing the book I continue to receive more emails from people. They regret that the free book isn't online anymore, but understand that it couldn't last forever and that the hardcopy version is even better. I hope you like it and that it helps you achieve your reporting goals. September 2004 Update: Due to high demand, I did a second printing of the book. I took advantage of this opportunity to go through the book and remove all grammatical errors. The content is the same, but the typos have been corrected. |

| business objects crystal reports: The Black Sheep Brian Duffy, 2023-01-04 In his family's eyes, Layne Marks has always been a failure. The undesirable sheep living in his more prosperous brother's shadow. He still struggles to maintain a steady employment or place to live at the age of 26. Anywhere else in the world, just another common person, but not in Eumain. Imperfection is no longer tolerated in Eumain. Both a bank robber and a homeless person will suffer the same punishment in this situation-they will both be labelled Rejects and taken away, never to be seen again. The residents have no way of knowing what will happen to them. According to a persistent rumour, the Rejects have been exiled to a remote, long-forgotten place because they are unfit to live anywhere else - just like themselves. There, all of the criminals of all degrees must rely on one another in order to survive in this harsh and perilous environment that is home to a variety of previously unheard of monsters. Layne Marks has always been warned that he was close to becoming deemed unfit to reside in Eumain, and that it was only a matter of time. |
| business objects crystal reports: Pro Dynamic .NET 4.0 Applications Carl Ganz, 2010-03-26 As a developer you are likely painfully aware that not all features of an application can be anticipated when the software ships. In order to cope with these eventualities and save yourself time (and perhaps money), it makes sense to write your applications in such a way that end users can be made as independent of the developers as possible. Giving your users the power to make changes to the way the application operates once it has shipped gives them more control over the way the application works, while reducing the frequency with which you need to redistribute application files, creating a win-win situation. Pro Dynamic .NET 4.0 Applications explains how to give users the power to create additional data-entry fields, validation logic, and new reports without assistance from the application developer. You will learn how to do this for both desktop (C# and WPF) and web (ASP) applications. |
