Hope you understand the previous section well. Create a Crystal report from Product Table and copy and paste the following source code in the project.

Copy and paste the following source code and run your C# project

C# Source Code

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
 public partial class Form1 : Form
 {
     public Form1()
     {
         InitializeComponent();
     }

     private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
         ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
         cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt");

         TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
         TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
         ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
         Tables CrTables;

         crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "YOUR SERVERNAME";
         crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE NAME";
         crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
         crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";

         CrTables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;
         foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in CrTables)
         {
             crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo;
             crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
             CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);
         }

         cryRpt.Refresh();
         cryRpt.PrintToPrinter(2, true, 1, 2);

     }
}
}

cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");

The Crystal Reports file path in your project files location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of Crystal Reports file like c:\projects\crystalreports\CrystalReport1.rpt

crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "YOUR SERVERNAME";

crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE NAME";

crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";

crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";

You have to pass the necessary database connection information.

Now you can run the program . When you run this program the program will print multiple copies of Crystal Reports.
