The following section describes how to create Crystal Report from multipletables in C#.

All C# Crystal Reports Tutorial in this website is based on the following

database - crystaldb. So before you begin this section , please take a look at

the database structure of crystaldb - Click Here C# crystaldb

Here we are going to generate Crystal Reports from multiple tables in C#.

Here we have three tables (ordermaster , orderdetails and product ) and weare generating a Crystal Report from these three tables by connecting each

table with their related fields.

If you are new to Crystal Reports and do not know how to create Crystal

Reports from C# , please take a look at the section step by step tutorial for

creating a Crystal Reports from C#.

Hope you understand the basics of generating a Crystal Reports in C# , this

section is the continuation of the first part, so here we avoid some basic

steps and start from the table selection of Crystal Reports.

Select all table from the table list to right side list box, because we are

creating report from three tables ( OrderMaster, OrderDetails, Product) . If 

you don't know up to this part of the tutorial , refer previous tutorial for upto selecting databese for Crystal reports.

The next step is to make relations between these selected tables. Here we

are connecting the related fields from each table. For that we arrange the

tables in visible area in the list (this is not necessary ) and select the fieldsthat we want to make relation and drag to the related field of the otherselected tables. After made the relations with tables the screen is look like

After you drag the CrystalReportViewer to your form , it will look like thefollowing picture.

You have to include CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine in your C#

Source Code.

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; 

Copy and paste the following source code and run your C# project 

Next : C# Crystal Reports String parameter

Download Source Code

Print Source Code

using System;using System.Windows.Forms;using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;

namespace WindowsApplication1{

public partial class Form1 : Form{

public Form1()

{InitializeComponent();

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){

ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

}}

}

 NOTES:cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt"); 

The Crystal Reports file path in your C# project files location, there you can seeCrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of Crystal Reports file like

c:\projects\crystalreports\CrystalReport1.rpt

After you run the source code you will get the report like this.

For generating Crystal Reports from C# , we need to connect a database

and some tables with data. In the following section you can see how tocreate a sample Database and Tables and the data for running of the

following Crystal Reports - C# Tutorial . All examples in the CSharpCrystal Reports Tutorial is based on the following database .

First we have to create a database named it as "crystaldb"

Create DataBase "crystaldb"  

In the crystaldb database , create three tables

OrderMaster , OrderDetails , Product .

The Table Structure follows : 

OrderMasterOrderMaster_id OrderMaster_dateOrderMaster_customer

OrderMaster_createduser

OrderDetailsOrderDetails_id OrderDetails_masterid 

OrderDetails_productid 

OrderDetails_qty

ProductProduct_id Product_name

Product_price

The following picture shows the relation of tables in crystaldb database :

SQL command for creating tables are follows :

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OrderMaster] ([OrderMaster_id] [int] NOT NULL ,[OrderMaster_date] [datetime] NULL ,[OrderMaster_customername] [varchar] (50),[OrderMaster_createduser] [varchar] (50)

) ON [PRIMARY]

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OrderDetails] (

[OrderDetails_id] [int] NOT NULL ,[OrderDetails_masterid] [int] NULL ,[OrderDetails_productid] [int] NULL ,[OrderDetails_qty] [int] NULL

) ON [PRIMARY]

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product] ([Product_id] [int] NOT NULL ,[Product_name] [varchar] (50) ,[Product_price] [numeric](18, 0) NULL

) ON [PRIMARY]

Enter some data to the tables :

From the following pictures you can see some data in the table for C# -
