How to Show Crystal Alerts on .NET CrystalReportViewer?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using CR 2008 and publishing with .NET 2005. We included some Alerts in the crystal reports. They run fine when I run them in Crystal designer. But when showing on .NET CrystalReportViewer control, they won't trigger.

What might be the reason for this?

Thanks

Rama

Alerts do not work in the CR SDK - only in BOE or the designer. Perhaps a good post for the [SAP Idea Place|https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports]

Also note, these are different than BOE Events. BOE events are triggered on system files etc. CR Events are triggered on Forumlae.

Hi Rama,

I'm testing but I don't see how this will or if it is going to work...

But then again... after some checking here's how to: ( for CR for VS 2010 )

Should be the same for Cr 2008. You have to use RAS.

rpt.Load(@"c:\customer\alerting.rpt");

rcd = rpt.ReportClientDocument;

Alerts alerts;

alerts = rcd.SearchController.GetTriggeredAlerts();

if (alerts.Count > 0)

{

foreach (Alert alert in alerts)

{

string alertinfo = string.Empty;

alertinfo = "Alert Name: " + alert.Name + "\n\r";

alertinfo += "Alert Message: " + alert.Message.ToString() + "\n\r";

alertinfo += "Alert Formula: " + alert.MessageFormula.Text.ToString() + "\n\r";

MessageBox.Show(alertinfo.ToString());

}

}

Thanks again

Don

PS - Thank you Dan P. for the code
