In this section of the tutorial we add a new Crystal Report item to the project and use the Report Expert wizard to define the type of report to generate and specify the data to output.
To design the report:
Right-click the project (in this tutorial, the project is CrystalReport) from the Solution Explorer, and then select Add > Add New Item.
The Add New Item dialog box displays.
Select Crystal Report from the Templates list, type a name for the Crystal Report in the Name text box (in this tutorial, the Crystal Report is named CustomerReport.rpt), and then click Open.
The Crystal Report Gallery dialog box displays.
Click OK.
The Data tab of the Standard Report Expert dialog box displays.
Select a data table to use for the report, and then click Insert Table (in this tutorial, the CUSTOMERS Table is added from the Project Data/ADO.NET DataSets/CrystalReport.dsCustomers directory).
The table is added to the Tables in report list.
Click Next.
The Fields tab of the Standard Report Expert dialog box displays.
Select the items to display in the report from the Available Fields list, and then click Add (in this tutorial, all items are added to the report by clicking the Add All button).
The specified items are added to the Fields to Display list.
Click Finish.
The CrystalReport report displays.
