    shax,

     

    Please try the following code:

     

    Code Snippet

    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

    Class Class1

        ' Create report instance. This is the class added to your project

        ' when you added the report to the project

        Dim report As MyReport = New MyReport

        ' Fill data in DataSet here. Skip this step if your report is calling

        ' a stored procedure direct

        Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet

        ' ds = GetDataFromDatabase()

        Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As ParameterDiscreteValue

        Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions

        Dim crParameterFieldLocation As ParameterFieldDefinition

        Dim crParameterValues As ParameterValues

        '

        ' Get the report parameters collection.

        '

    crParameterFieldDefinitions = report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields

        ' Add a parameter value - START

    crParameterFieldLocation = crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item("@ParameterName1")

    crParameterValues = crParameterFieldLocation.CurrentValues

    crParameterDiscreteValue = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

    crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = "Parameter1Value"

    crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)

    crParameterFieldLocation.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues)

        ' Add a parameter value - END

    crParameterFieldLocation = crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item("@ParameterName2")

    crParameterValues = crParameterFieldLocation.CurrentValues

    crParameterDiscreteValue = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

    crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = "Parameter2Value"

    crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)

    crParameterFieldLocation.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues)

        '

        ' Set report's DataSource. Skip this step if your report is calling a

        ' stored procedure direct in the report.

        '

    report.SetDataSource(ds)

        '

        ' Set CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource

        '

    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report

    End Class
