If you want to only export the report not through report viewer, then see below. Namespace: using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine; using CrystalDecisions.Shared; Code: ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument (); ExportOptions rptExportOption; DiskFileDestinationOptions rptFileDestOption = new DiskFileDestinationOptions (); PdfRtfWordFormatOptions rptFormatOption = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions (); cryRpt.Load( @"D:\Muthu\Tech\Blogs\ListView\CrystalReport2.rpt" ); string reportFileName = string .Empty; reportFileName = @"D:\Muthu\Projects\WebApplication1\WebApplication1\Report.pdf" ; rptFileDestOption.DiskFileName = reportFileName; rptExportOption = cryRpt.ExportOptions; { rptExportOption.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType .DiskFile; // ExportFormatType . PortableDocFormat (U can change the file type here.) rptExportOption.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType .PortableDocFormat; rptExportOption.ExportDestinationOptions = rptFileDestOption; rptExportOption.ExportFormatOptions = rptFormatOption; } cryRpt.Export();

Everything similar like windows application in web. CrystalReportViewer is diff in web appl compared to windows. Crystal report design is same (Database field, formatting and etc.) Binding: CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="True" Height="339px" ReportSourceID="CrystalReportSource1" Width="401px" /> CrystalReportSource ID="CrystalReportSource1" runat="server"> CrystalReport2.rpt ">
