You will have to change the format:

string format = "PDF";

How do I export a report using c#?...

Hi there.
Can anyone tell me how to export a report to PDF using only c#? I have seen lots of examples of how to do it using asp.net but I am only interested in using c#.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!Hi
Try this code

CrystalReport1 cr = new CrystalReport1();
ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions();

DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions();

// Set the export format.
exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.WordForWindows;
exportOpts.ExportDestinationType =ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

// Set the disk file options.
diskOpts.DiskFileName = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\ceeb\\Desktop\\111.doc";
exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts;
cr.Export(exportOpts);

All the best
:thumb:|||Thanks for the help.

In the end i did it like this:

public void exportReport(String reportName, String exportName)
{
try
{
//Create a ReportDocument and load in the location of the report
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();

report.Load(reportName);

//Create a DiskFileDestinationOptions object so you can set where the
//pdf is written to
DiskFileDestinationOptions diskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();

//append a filename to the export path and set this file as the filename property for
//the DestinationOptions class
diskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = exportName;

//set the required report ExportOptions properties
ExportOptions exportOptions = report.ExportOptions;
exportOptions.DestinationOptions = diskFileDestinationOptions;
exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;

//Once the export options have been set for the report, the report can be exported. The Export command
//does not take any arguments

// Export the report
report.Export();
Console.WriteLine(reportName + " exported successfully as " + exportName);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message.ToString());
}

}|||I am trying to do the same thing, the only issue is , I either want to pass a data set (only a few records , not the whole table) or pass a parameter to the crystal report (like employee id) so I can filter what the report/pdf file end up displaying.

I posted the code in asp.net - scroll to crystal reports threads.

any suggestions??
