I am completely lost on this one--
I have a .Rpt file that runs fine by itself. This report file takes 4 parameters and connects to an oracle database. I have all the database code set up correctly. So i think.
I cannot for the life of me connect this report file to the connection and have the report viewed on my ASP.NET webpage.
When i run this code, no matter what, i get the text invalid pointer where the crystalreportviewer control goes. I am running Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 in an ASP.NET 3.5 project. I am open to people suggesting links to thorough methods of viewing reports (including specifying parameters, connectioninfo, and disposing reportdocument) seeing how I am completely new to this.
I need this process to be dynamic because in the future i will be dynamically setting report files, parameters, database info, etc...
Thank you all in advance.
