Dynamically Pass Parameter Value in Crystal Report

Firstly, To pass the parameter value dynamically at run time, first, we have to create a parameter field in crystal report by using Parameter Fields option from Field Explorer.

As you can see in the below image, I have taken a designation table from the database and added to the selected table list

After that, I had selected a column from the table and show them in the details section of the crystal report.

For creating a parameter field right clicks on the Parameter Fields option and click on New option to create a new parameter field.

In the new parameter section of the crystal report, give the name of the parameter and click OK. Here I gave a designation as a parameter name.

Design application form as shown below by using a label, textbox, button, and crystalReportViewer control from the toolbox.

After putting controls on form let’s move to the coding part and on the click event of button write the following code to pass the value in the parameter field.

    Private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

     {
    {
              //creating an object of Report Document class
            ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();

              //creating an object of ParameterField class
            ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField();

              //creating an object of ParameterFields class
            ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();

              //creating an object of ParameterDiscreteValue class
            ParameterDiscreteValue paramDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();

     //set the parameter field name
            paramField.Name = "designation";

              //set the parameter value
            paramDiscreteValue.Value = textBox1.Text;

              //add the parameter value in the ParameterField object
            paramField.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue);

              //add the parameter in the ParameterFields object
            paramFields.Add(paramField);

              //set the parameterfield information in the crystal report
            crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;

              //preparing root for preview
            reportDocument.Load("D:\\rohit\\crystal reports\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
            reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon("userid","password","servername",
                                             "database");
         }

Here we can get output according to the parameter passed for employee_designation field.
