Reports with dynamic user entered parameters.

I am new to Crystal Reports. I am getting into reports and need to design few first crystal reports. I have read some tutorial and created simple once with no problems.
However I am looking for an ability to create ASP.NET page with crystal report where user will be able to select different parameters that will be passed to stored procedures to generate different reports For example select the date or user name or something like that. I know that I can design selection part in ASP.Net and then pass it to crystal report to generate dynamic report. I was just wondering if Crystal report has this option build in where I will not have to create separate AS.NET promt controls abut use Crystal Once and put it on the same page where user selects parameters clicks some button SUBMIT and gets report, then chage para,etrs and get different report. I hope I explained it well to understand

Thanks for any help !!!!anybody, please??|||I was just wondering if Crystal report has this option build in where I will not have to create separate AS.NET promt controls abut use Crystal Once and put it on the same page where user selects parameters clicks some button SUBMIT and gets report, then chage para,etrs and get different report.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Can you restate your question?

Linda|||I am trying to create dynamic crystal report. What I mean by "dynamic" is I would like to have some controls like textBox or ComboBox that will collect some parametrs from user and will be imported into SQL statement wihtin crystal report to retrevie different results. For example, I have report that gives me daily activty of the store. I want to have control that has promts user for a date and depending on user entry diplay report for following day.

I know that I can create the controls in Windows.Forms or In ASP.NET and then pass it to crystal report. But I was wondering if there is such functionality built in crystal reports where I can user control to insert parametrs. I have seen it somewehere that it was done but in 2 pages where user select the parametrs first and then get report, but I want to have it on one page like for example parametrs selection on top and report on the botom of the page

Thanks!!!|||If I understand you correctly, you want to prompt the user for parameters and display those parameters along with the report?

Have you thought about using frames? You could use the top frame for the parameters and the bottom frame to display the report.

Alternately, you could display the parameter fields right in the report.

Linda|||Thanks for the answer

Well, I want a little bit differetn think. I want user to be able to enter some parametrs and then click some button what will display report based on parametrs. So I do not wnat just to display parametrs in report but have report use these parametrs lets say in WHERE clause in SQL command or as paramters in Stored Procedures. So this way user will be able to slect different paramters and siplay differetn reports

?

Thanks|||I *think* I've read that you can design an entire report programmatically, but I've never attempted anything like that myself. I'm not sure I would want to unless there weren't any other way. IMO it's just easier to design a report in the report designer and then hook into it programmatically and pass some pre-defined parameters.

What kind of SDK's do they have for ASP.Net on the Business Objects site? I'm still ASP based with Crystal and use the RDC and RAS SDK's for COM. They usually post the SDK's in the Developer Zone, but you might have comb the BO site or buy a really good book to be able to do something like that.

Linda|||Thanks for your answers. I am just a begginer with crystal reports so any advice is valuable to me.

Can you please tell me or send a link to some tutorial that talks about how to do it.

If I exactly uinderstood you I am using Visual Studio to develop any ASP.NET based projects.

Thanks a lot
