          CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameFormula,
          CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleUserDefault);

          //set that field as the field to group on
          m_boGroup.ConditionField = m_boField;

          //add it to the report
          m_boReportClientDocument.DataDefController.GroupController.Add(-1, m_boGroup);

           //display in reportviewer
