1203389 - Err Msg: "Rereading the Database" when using report viewer navigation buttons in Asp.net Web Application

When attempting to use the navigation button in the Crystal Report Viewer in a Visual Studio .NET Web application the following error message appears:

"Rereading the Database"

This error message appears because the report should be loaded in the page init () instead of page load() and we need to load the report in next web forms using Session object.

To resolve this error message, perform the following code:

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

        End With

        report.Export()

        crParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue
        crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = paramvalue

        crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)

        crParameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues)

        "Load the report on the next page using session object"

             Page_init()

Initialize component ()

Session("crReportDocument")= new reportdocument
Session("crReportDocument").load("c:\report1.rpt")

End sub

Page_load()

CrystalReportviewer1.reportsource= session ("crReportDocument")

This will resolve the issue.
