You can, but you're in for a lot of pain and as soon as you or anyone else updates the CR runtime, it may not work.

See this on how to create custom buttons. The blow is from an internal resource. Note that there is a reason why it is internal (see my note above):

Customized print button cna be added to the Crystal Reports Viewer by using ToolStrip.
Please refer to the following code to add a customized print button to the Crystal Reports Viewer control:

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 
{ 
    public partial class Form1 : Form 
    { 
        CrystalReport1 cr; 
        public Form1() 
        { 
            InitializeComponent(); 
        } 

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            ToolStrip ts; 
            ts = (ToolStrip)crystalReportViewer1 .Controls[3]; 

            ToolStripButton printbutton = new ToolStripButton(); 
            printbutton.Image = ts.Items[1].Image; 
            ts.Items.Remove(ts.Items[1]); 
            ts.Items.Insert(1, printbutton); 

            ts.Items[1].Click += new EventHandler(this.CaptureEvent);                   
            cr = new CrystalReport1(); 
            this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr; 
                          
        } 

        private void CaptureEvent(Object Sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            try 
            {        // Create a Print Dialog                 
                PrintDialog printDialog1 = new PrintDialog(); 

                // Create a Print Document 
                PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); 

                printDialog1.Document = pd; 
                printDialog1.ShowNetwork = true; 
                printDialog1.AllowSomePages = true; 

                DialogResult result = printDialog1.ShowDialog(); 
                if (result == DialogResult.OK) 
                { 
                    MessageBox.Show("Print button has been selected !!!"); 
                    PrintReport(printDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName); 
                } 
                else if (result == DialogResult.Cancel) 
                { 
                    MessageBox.Show("Cancel button has been selected !!!"); 
                } 
            } 

            catch (Exception ex) 
            { 
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); 
            } 
         } 


        private void PrintReport(string printerName) 
        { 
            // Select the printer. 
            cr.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printerName; 

            /* Print the report. Set the startPageN and endPageN 
             parameters to 0 to print all pages.*/ 
            cr.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0); 
        }                           
    } 
}

And there may be more. Use the search box in top right corner (string like 'Crystal net button' will be good to start with)

Thanks for sharing the code.Actually I am looking for a asp.net web based solution. The one which you provided is for a Windows based application. Earlier version we were able to do the same for web based one by getting the control array and now its returning control array count as 2. I think now current version its done by JavaScript library and if am right is there anyway to override the existing functionality with customized version of code (JavaScript or c#).

Thanks
