GP 2018 Web Client Crystal Report Preview

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

Our product relies on many Crystal reports and they are currently previewed from GP by our Dexterity code that calls a .Net DLL which in turn opens up a Windows form containing the Crystal Preview control. This is fine in the desktop GP client but of course doesn't work from the web client.

I created a web app using the Crystal web preview control and changed our .Net DLL so that instead of showing the Windows form it would open up the URL and pass the report filename and any other required parameters, by using the following C# command:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(myURL);

but again it doesn't work from the web client. I presume it doesn't work because the code is not actually running on the user's desktop and hence doesn't know to open the browser there.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do Crystal reports from the web client?

Or any advice in general on non-Dexterity reports from the web client?

Thanks,

Alan Taylor | Developer
