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.

A: 

I just skimmed over it and I don't know if this is your entire problem, but one thing I see is this:

//p2
paramField2.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue2);
paramFields.Add(paramField2);
paramField2.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue2);
paramFields.Add(paramField2);

Correct this and give it another try. Let me know if you still have issues and I'll dig further into it.

Dusty
thanks! but i'm still getting the same error. i appreciate your looking into this.

+1  A: 

It turns out that the report we were using was an older Crystal Reports (8 i think) report that was using a .qry file. After we converted the query to a command object (in crystal) everything worked!

Micah
+1 for you figuring out your issue. I was going to look into it again, but a family emergency has kept me pretty busy lately. Glad you figured it out.
