1606630 - Is Crystal Reports able to use POCO and or PONO datasources?

Symptom

  • How do I report off of my .NET classes or objects?
  • POCOs are classes that contain no functionality required of a Common Language Runtime (CLR) or Framework

Resolution

  • Crystal Reports expects to be reporting off of a table with some number of rows and a fixed amount of columns
  • To report off of a class, the class must represent a row of data
  • For detailed solution see the blog Crystal Reports and PONOs, POCOs and Classes(OH MY!)
