1685949 - Field Mapping event does not trigger with RAS SetTableLocation in the Crystal Reports .NET SDK

Symptom

Environment

  • Visual Studio .NET 2008
  • Crystal Reports 2008
  • Crystal Reports 2011

Cause

The Field Mapping event in the Crystal Reports .NET SDK only gets executed if the Report is based off of a command object. Reports based off of other data sources will not cause this event to run.
