CrystalReportsRunner 1.0.3

Crystal Reports Runner

Runner to allow the use of Crystal Reports in .NET Core using external process (in .NET Framework 4.8) and named pipes for communication.

If you are using Crystal Reports in your application you're probably stuck with .NET Framework 4.x. However, all the new features are in the .NET Core framework nowadays and you might want to take advantage of them by upgrading your app to use the latest version of .NET.

Unfortunately, Crystal Reports doesn't support .NET Core so one workaround is to isolate it into its own executable so that your own application doesn't need to have a dependency on Crystal Reports SDK.

Quick Start

1.    // Method 1: With Connection string
      using var engine = new CrystalReportsEngine();
   
      // You can set Selection Formula Here in string format
      engine.ViewerSettings.RptSelectionFormula = "{TableName.ColumnName}=Field or value";
      engine.ViewerSettings.RptCrt = true;// Default is false
   
      var report = new Report("\\RPTPath\RPTName.rpt", "Sample Report")
      {
         Connection = CrystalReportsConnectionFactory.CreateSqlConnection("ServerName", "DataBaseName", true)
      };
   
     await engine.ShowReport(report);
   
   

2.    // Method 2: You can also export file direct to folder or by memory mapped to variable
   
   
      using var engine = new CrystalReportsEngine();
   
      // You can set Selection Formula Here in string format
      engine.ViewerSettings.RptSelectionFormula = "{TableName.ColumnName}=Field or value";
      engine.ViewerSettings.RptCrt = true;// Default is false
   
      var report = new Report("\\RPTPath\RPTName.rpt", "Sample Report")
      {
         Connection = CrystalReportsConnectionFactory.CreateSqlConnection("ServerName", "DataBaseName", true)
      };
      //This only export to folder
      await engine.Export(report, ReportExportFormats.PDF, $"D:\\{Guid.NewGuid()}")
   
      //Save to memory and return to variable
      var abc = await engine.ExportToMemoryMappedFile(report, ReportExportFormats.PDF)
   
   
     await engine.ShowReport(report);
   
   

Description

I use Gerardo Lijs project and add or change features according to my needs, i want that crystal reports runs on web so i add feature (Export or Export to memory).

So, you can also use it in web application ASP.NET or Blazor to perform reportings using Crystal Reports.
