You can not create the XSD in CR designer. You need to create them in .NET.

Hi Kathayini,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

We can use the existing XSD which are present in .Net

But with current versions of crystal we doesn't have the feature to create XSD files at crystal designer level.

So, it is suggested to use the XSD files which are present in .Net and can also create new XSD files.

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Regards,

Naveen.

Hey Kathyaini,

If you use jdbc connection to connect to a crystal report, then we can create XML as a DataSource then by default an XSD file.

It is based on database we use.

It is either oracle or sql server.

If you are using .NET, you should not use JDBC. Use the ADO.NET driver.

I'm not quite sure what you mean with "develop the same application using Crystal Reports XI R2 designer ", but you can use the ADO.NET driver to create a report based on an XML and XSD.

The ADO.NET driver supports pushing data into your report from an ADO.NET dataset
