Introduction
What is Microsoft .Net Framework? The Microsoft .Net Framework is a platform that provides tools and technologies you need to build Networked Applications as well as Distributed Web Services and Web Applications. The .Net Framework provides the necessary compile time and run-time foundation to build and run any language that conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS).The main two components of .Net Framework are Common Language Runtime (CLR) and .Net Framework Class Library (FCL).

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the runtime environment of the .Net Framework that executes and manages all running code like a Virtual Machine. The .Net Framework Class Library (FCL) is a huge collection of languageindependent and type-safe reusable classes. The .Net Framework Class Libraries (FCL) is arranged into a logical grouping according to their functionality and usability is called Namespaces. In the following sections

describes how to .Net Framework manages the code in compile time and run time. How to Microsoft .Net Framework Microsoft .Net Languages Source Code is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). MSIL we can call it as Intermediate Language (IL) or Common Intermediate Language (CIL). Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) is a CPU independent set of instructions that can be converted to the native code. Metadata also created in the course of compile time with Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and stored it with the compiled code. Metadata is completely self-describing. Metadata is stored in a file called Manifest, and it contains information about the members, types, references and all the other data that the Common Language Runtime (CLR) needs for execution.

.NET Compiler

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) uses metadata to locate and load classes, generate native code, provide security, and execute Managed Code. Both Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and Metadata assembled together is known as Portable Executable (PE) file. Portable Executable (PE) is supposed to be portable across all 32-bit operating systems by Microsoft .Net Framework.
During the runtime the Common Language Runtime (CLR)'s Just In Time (JIT) compiler converts the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code into native code to the Operating System. The native code is Operating System independent and this code is known as Managed Code , that is, the language's functionality is managed by the .NET Framework . The Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides various Just In Time (JIT) compilers, and each works on a different architecture depends on Operating Systems, that means the same Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) can be executed on different Operating Systems. In the following section you can see how Common Language Runtime (CLR) functions.

Common Language Runtime

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is an Execution Environment. It works as a layer between Operating Systems and the applications written in .Net languages that conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS). The main function of Common Language Runtime (CLR) is to convert the Managed Code into native code and then execute the Program. The Managed Code compiled only when it needed, that is it converts the appropriate instructions when each function is called. The Common Language Runtime (CLR)s Just In Time (JIT) compilation converts Intermediate Language (MSIL) to native code on demand at application run time. During the execution of the program ,the Common Language Runtime (CLR) manages memory, Thread execution, Garbage Collection (GC) , Exception Handling, Common Type System (CTS), code safety verifications, and other system services. The CLR (Common Language Runtime) defines the Common Type System (CTS), which is a standard type system used by all .Net languages. That means all .NET programming languages uses the same representation for common Data Types , so Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a language-independent runtime environment. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) environment is also referred to as a managed environment, because during the execution of a program it also controls the interaction with the Operating System. In the coming section you can see what are the main functions of Common Language Runtime (CLR). How to Common Language Runtime The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is an Execution Environment. Common Language Runtime (CLR)'s main tasks are to convert the .NET Managed Code to native code, manage running code like a Virtual Machine and also controls the interaction with the Operating System. Common Language Runtime (CLR) manages Thread executions, Memory Management that is allocation of Objects and Buffers , Garbage Collection (GC) - Clean up the unused Objects and buffers , Exception Handling, Common Type System (CTS) that is all .NET language that conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS) have the same primitive Data Types, Code safety verifications - code can be verified to ensure type safety, Language integration that is Common Language Runtime (CLR) follow a set of specification called Common Language Specification (CLS) , this will ensure the interoperability between languages, Integrated security and other system services. .Net Framework Class Library (FCL)

The .Net Framework class library (FCL) provides the core functionality of .Net Framework architecture. The .Net Framework Class Library (FCL) includes a huge collection of reusable classes, interfaces, and value types that expedite and optimize the development process and provide access to system functionality. The .Net Framework class library (FCL) organized in a hierarchical tree structure and it is divided into Namespaces. Namespaces is a logical grouping of types for the purpose of identification. Framework class library (FCL) provides the consistent base types that are used across all .NET enabled languages. The Classes are accessed by namespaces, which reside within Assemblies. The System Namespace is the root for types in the .NET Framework. The .Net Framework class library (FCL) classes are managed classes that provide access to System Services . The .Net Framework class library (FCL) classes are object oriented and easy to use in program developments. Moreover, third-party components can integrate with the classes in the .NET Framework.

Common Language Specification

Common Language Specification (CLS) is a set of basic language features that .Net Languages needed to develop Applications and Services , which are compatible with the .Net Framework. When there is a situation to communicate Objects written in different .Net Complaint languages, those objects must expose the features that are common to all the languages. Common Language Specification (CLS) ensures complete interoperability among applications, regardless of the language used to create the application. Common Language Specification (CLS) defines a subset of Common Type System (CTS). Common Type System (CTS) describes a set of types that can use different .Net languages have in common, which ensure that objects written in different languages can interact with each other. Most of the members defined by types in the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) are Common Language Specification (CLS) compliant Types. Moreover Common Language Specification (CLS) standardized by ECMA. Microsoft Intermediate Language MSIL stands for Microsoft Intermediate Language. We can call it as Intermediate Language (IL) or Common Intermediate Language (CIL). During the compile time, the compiler convert the source code into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) .Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) is a CPU-independent set of instructions that can be efficiently converted to the native code. During the runtime the Common Language Runtime (CLR)'s Just In Time (JIT) compiler converts the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code into native code to the Operating System. When a compiler produces Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), it also produces Metadata. The Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and Metadata are contained in a portable executable (PE) file. Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) includes instructions for loading, storing, initializing, and calling methods on objects, as well as instructions for arithmetic and logical operations, control flow, direct memory access, exception handling, and other operations Just In Time Compiler The .Net languages, which is conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS), uses its corresponding runtime to run the application on different Operating Systems. During the code execution time, the Managed Code compiled only when it is needed, that is it converts the appropriate instructions to the native code for execution just before when each function is called. This

process is called Just In Time (JIT) compilation, also known as Dynamic Translation. With the help of Just In Time Compiler (JIT) the Common Language Runtime (CLR) doing these tasks. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides various Just In Time compilers (JIT) and each works on a different architecture depending on Operating System. That is why the same Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) can be executed on different Operating Systems without rewrite the source code. Just In Time (JIT) compilation preserves memory and save time during application initialization. Just In Time (JIT) compilation is used to run at high speed, after an initial phase of slow interpretation. Just In Time Compiler (JIT) code generally offers far better performance than interpreters. .Net Metadata Metadata in .Net is binary information which describes the characteristics of a resource. This information include Description of the Assembly , Data Types and members with their declarations and implementations, references to other types and members , Security permissions etc. A module's metadata contains everything that needed to interact with another module. During the compile time Metadata created with Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and stored in a file called a Manifest . Both Metadata and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) together wrapped in a Portable Executable (PE) file. During the runtime of a program Just In Time (JIT) compiler of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) uses the Metadata and converts Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) into native code. When code is executed, the runtime loads metadata into memory and references it to discover information about your code's classes, members, inheritance, and so on. Moreover Metadata eliminating the need for Interface Definition Language (IDL) files, header files, or any external method of component reference.

Then you will get your Server name under OLEDB Connection from there select database name (Crystaldb) and click the tables , then you can see all your tables from your database. Select all table from the table list to right side list box, because we are creating report from three tables ( OrderMaster, OrderDetails, Product) .

58

The next step is to make relation between these selected tables. Here we are connecting the related fields from each table. For that we arrange the tables in visible area in the list (this is not necessary ) and select the field we are going to make relation and drag to the related field of the other table. After made the relation the screen is look like the following picture .

Next step is to select the fields from the tables . Here we are selecting only Customername , orderdate from ordermastertable , Productname from product table and quantity from order details.

59

Click the Finish button because now we are not using other functionalities of this wizard. After that you will get the Crystal Reports designer window . You can arrange the fields in the designer window according to your requirement to view the report . For rearranging you can drag the field object in the screen . For editing right click the field object and select Edit Text Object. The following picture shows the sample of designer window after rearrange the field.

60

Now the designing part is over and the next step is to call the created Crystal Reports in VB.NET through Crystal Reports Viewer control . Select the default form (Form1.vb) you created in VB.NET and drag a button and CrystalReportViewer control to your form.

Select Form's source code view and put the code on top Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Put the following source code in the button click event VB.NET Source Code
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt") CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh() End Sub End Class

61

NOTES: cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt") The Crystal Report is in your project location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of report here. After you run the source code you will get the report like this.

Here we connected three tables related field and get the result. If you have any comments please contact the email address in our contact page.

VB.NET Crystal Reports String parameter All Crystal Reports programming samples in this tutorials is based on the following database (crystaldb) . Please take a look at the database structure before you start this tutorial - Click here to see Database Structure . Here we are passing a String parameter from vb.net to Crystal Reports . For that , from vb.net program we pass a customer name as parameter and show all the order of that customer to the Crystal Reports.

62

In the previous tutorial we saw how to generate a Crystal Reports from multiple tables. Here is the continuation of that tutorial , the only different is that we are passing a Customer Name as a String parameter and get the report of that particular Customer only . Before starting to this tutorial just take a look at the previous tutorial ( Crystal Report from multiple tables ). In the previous section we are getting the report of all orders from all customers , that is the all order placed by all customers , here is only one customer. Hope you went through previous tutorial , if not click here ( Crystal Report from multiple tables ). Next step is to create a string parameter in Crystal report. Select the Field Explorer from CrystalReport Menu.

Then you can see Field Explorer in the Left hand side. Select Parameter Field from Field Explorer and right Click.

Fill the appropriate name for Name and Promoting text fields

63

After creating the parameter field, we have to create the selection formula for the Crystal Reports. For creating selection formula, Right click on Crystal Reports designer window, select REPORT -> SELECTION FORMULA -> RECORD.

Then you can see the record Selection Formula Editor. This for entering the selection formula. For that you have to select the fields from above fields and make the formula. First you have to select OrderMaster.OrderMaster_customername from Report Field and select the comparison operator and select the parameter field. Double click each field then it will be selected.

64

Form the following picture you can understand the selection fields.

After the creation of selection formula close that screen. Now the designing part is over and the next step is to call the created Crystal Reports in VB.NET through Crystal Reports Viewer control. Select the default form (Form1.vb) you created in VB.NET and drag a Textbox , button and CrystalReportViewer control to your form.

65

Select Form's source code view and import the following: Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared Put the following source code in the button click event VB.NET Source Code
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt") Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions Dim crParameterFieldDefinition As ParameterFieldDefinition Dim crParameterValues As New ParameterValues Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As New ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = TextBox1.Text crParameterFieldDefinitions = cryRpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields crParameterFieldDefinition = _ crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item("Customername") crParameterValues = crParameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues crParameterValues.Clear() crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue) crParameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues) CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh() End Sub End Class

NOTES: cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt") The Crystal Report is in your project location, there you can see

66

CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of report here. Now you can run the program. Enter a Customer Name (enter any existing customer from Order master table) and click the button, then your report is look like the following picture.

Here we get the result of the Customer4's order details.

VB.NET Crystal Reports Integer parameter All Crystal Reports programming samples in this tutorials is based on the following database (crystaldb) . Please take a look at the database structure before you start this tutorial - Click here to see Database Structure . In this tutorial we are passing an Integer Parameter to Crystal Reports from VB.NET. In the previous tutorial , we saw passing a string parameter to Crystal Reports from VB.NET and get the result. This is very similar to that tutorial , so here showing only the change information part only. So please take a look at the complete part of passing a string parameter to Crystal Reports from VB.NET.

67

When we pass an Integer parameter , we have to create a new Integer parameter in the Parameter Fields of Field Explorer. Then we will get the following screen and fill the fields like in the picture .

After creating the parameter field, we have to create the selection formula for the Crystal Reports. For creating selection formula, Right click on Crystal Reports designer window, select REPORT -> SELECTION FORMULA -> RECORD. Then you can see the record Selection Formula Editor. This for entering the selection formula. For that you have to select the fields from above lists and make the formula. Here we made the formula like select the records from Product table whose value is greater than the input value. For that first we select the table field that is Product_price from Product table and then we select the comparison operator and finally we select our Parameter we created earlier. Double click each field then it will automatically selected

68

After the creation of selection formula close that screen. Now the designing part is over and the next step is to call the created Crystal Reports in VB.NET through Crystal Reports Viewer control.
