C# – Asp.net c# Crystal Printing Problem

You can generate a PDF by Using a Crystal Report and piece of code....

• First: Generate a Crystal Report as per your requirements.

• Second: Use the below code to generate the PDF:

  • Place the following name spaces at the top of the code page

    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
    

  • Variable Declaration

    Dim CrReport As New CrystalReport1() // Report Name
    Dim CrExportOptions As ExportOptions
    Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
    Dim CrFormatTypeOptions as New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
    

  • Set the destination path and file name

    CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "c:\RichText.pdf"
    

  • Specify a page range (optional)

    crFormatTypeOptions.FirstPageNumber = 1 // Start Page in the Report
    crFormatTypeOptions.LastPageNumber = 3 // End Page in the Report
    crFormatTypeOptions.UsePageRange = True
    

  • Set export options

    CrExportOptions = crReport.ExportOptions
    
    With CrExportOptions
    
    // Set the destination to a disk file
    .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
    
    // Set the format to PDF
    .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
    
    // Set the destination options to DiskFileDestinationOptions object
    .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
    .FormatOptions = crFormatTypeOptions
    
    End With
    

  • Trap any errors that occur on export

    Try
        // Export the report
        CrReport.Export()
    Catch err As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(err.ToString())
    End Try
    

Thats it.... Now you are ready to create a PDF of the Report.

It looks to me like your current portstree is incompatible with the make used in ancient FreeBSD 6.3. Your best bet is to upgrade to FreeBSD 8 or 9, i.e. one of the currently supported STABLE branches.
