Export CR as email attachment

[Former Member]

Hi all

Does CR / CR Viewer comes with built-in functionality to export report as PDF attachment in Outlook or other email client? If it doesn't, can you point me to articles or thread that have this covered?

A seemingly related thread at but it looked complicated.

The current project was developed in VS 2010 C# and I took over now using VS 2013 C# and I was tasked to refactor and add more functionality.

Our past programmers used the method blogged at, Programmatically adding attachments to emails in C# and VB.NET - CodeProject

to achieve the outcome. However the viewer will freeze and the software may crash randomly every time the button is clicked.

Hi,

CR for VS viewer does not provide the option to export the report to email.

However, you could achieve the same in code.
