Please any one help me.Its very urgent..


Thanks in advance.

Select the default form (Form1.vb) you created in VB.NET and drag two buttons (Button1, Button2 ) and CrystalReportViewer control to your form.
Select Form's source code view and import the following :
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Public Class Form1
    Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt")
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt
    CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Try
      Dim CrExportOptions As ExportOptions
      Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New _
      DiskFileDestinationOptions()
      Dim CrFormatTypeOptions As New ExcelFormatOptions
      CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = _
            "c:\crystalExport.xls"
      CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions
      With CrExportOptions
      .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
      .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel
      .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
      .FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions
      End With
      cryRpt.Export()
    Catch ex As Exception
      MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
    End Sub
End Class

NOTES:
cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt")

The Crystal Report is in your project location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of report here.

When you run this program you will get the Excel file (crystalExport.xls) in your computer's C:
