I am using the embedded Crystal Reports tool in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. How do you create a hyperlink? It will allow me to make an entire section (select section and click object properties) of text a hyperlink, but what if I want to just make one or two words of a text block a hyperlink?
Try this
Right click on your object -> Format Object -> Hyperlink tab
You cannot make a hyperlink of one or two words. Crystal Report only allows you to make hyperlink on objects.

I want to open a repx file with a designer.
(but now, I only see the code behind)
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 and DevExpress.
I just want to add 3 paramters to a printer lable.
The existing file was made with XtraReport - maybe that helps.
Thx.
First, open or create a blank XtraReport file in design mode in Visual Studio. Then, click on the Tasks tag on the upper-left corner of the report design surface. From the pop-up menu, click on "Open/Import" and select a .repx file.
I have many reports in which header section is the same. I want to create a common template of Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010 where I can put my common header and use this template in all other reports.
I know that I can create report template using template field object, but I cannot see this type of item in my Crystal Reports -> Insert menu.
So my question is: how is it possible to create Crystal Report Template In visual studio 2010?
Using Crystal Report you can create a Report Template as your requirement (Data Connection is not required, just objects can be added like logo, headers, footers, etc.,). After completing save as .rpt. Whenever u need to create a new report in this format, u can import this report using Template Expert.
Pls look at this Tutorial for more details.
EDIT :
If you want to do this in visual studio,
I can suggest you to create a Format Report and save as .rpt
while you open a new report select From an Existing Report and browse the Format Report u made already. Hence the new report which your created will looks like your format report.
In my WinForms project I have multiple UserControl-s with the same name ("View"), in diferent namespaces.
If I understand well, the designer hides the controls with the same name as the designed control from the toolbox. So when I'm in design mode on one of the "View"-s I don't see the other ones.
Is there a way to change the name displayed in the toolbox for an UserControl ? I have tried using DisplayNameAttribute or ToolBoxItemAttribute with no succes. Also DescriptionAttribute doesn't see to work either (I was expecting the description to be added to the toolbox item tooltip)
Or is there another way to display multiple UserControl-s with the same name in the Visual Studio WinForms designer toolbox ?
Using Visual Studio 2008
You can do this if you add each control to a different tab in the toolbox (just right-click in the toolbox and select Add Tab. Name each after the namespace.). This is how VS supports having controls with the same names between WinForms and web apps, for example.
When using Visual Studio to edit Reporting Services *.rdl files, the default designer used is from the "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers" installed product.
When viewing the RDL code, this code is displayed as plain text and I want to take advantage of the XML Editor in visual studio.
Linking the *.rdl extension to the XML editor in Tools>Options>Text Editor>File Extension has the nasty side effect that while the rdl is now shown in the XML editor, the original report designer completely disappears.
Is there some other way to do this?
thanks
For any file you can click the arrow on the size of the open button in the open file dialog and select open with... From there you can select the XML editor. There are some other useful open with items in there as well.
You should be able to view and modify the XML by doing a view source on the RDL file. That way you'll still be able to use the designer when needed.
It would seem that the Report Designer for Visual Studio 2005 did not provide XML Editor support when you click "View Source"; where the 2008 version does.
While "solved", this is just a little inconvenient when you still need to develop RDL in 2005 compatibility mode.
Go into Notepad, Internet Explorer or most other applications that display or edit text. Triple click on some text. Windows will select the entire paragraph under the cursor.
This doesn't work in Visual Studio 2005.
How do I get triple click support in the Visual Studio text editor?
do VS 2008 or VS 2010 solve this?
Is there a macro, setting or plugin that will solve this?
I wrote an extension for this for Visual Studio 2010 that you can download from the VS Gallery or directly from the extension manager in Visual Studio, by searching for "triple click" or my name.
You can also read the blog post I wrote about it and check out the source, on github.
I haven't used it, but CodeProject has an article on SmartHelp 3.04 which mentions that you can triple click to select a whole line.
Also, from Craig Shoemaker's blog.
About VS 2010.
Further enhancements include the
ability to triple-click an expansive
element like a table and the editor
selects the entire table’s markup.
Want to surround that table with some
additional markup? Just start typing
with the table selected and your
markup is inserted around the selected
code.
