Hi everyone. I need to use arraylists as datasources for a few crysal reports. (These arraylists will be populated during run-time). I can not connect the crystal reports directly to the database or a dataset for that matter, because I am using multi-tier development.
In other words, I have a database tier that handles communication with the database, a Business Tier which communicates with the database tier and the presentation tier and obviously also contains all business logic, and a presentation tier which handles all user-input and program output (such as reports).
Thus, I would appreciate it if someone could firstly tell me if it is possible, and secondly to point me to a tutorial or show me how to use arraylists as a source for crystal reports, and how to create and format the reports accordingly.
