• SAP Crystal Reports, Developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio.
• Visual Studio

Here is C# sample code developed using Crystal Reports InProc RAS .NET SDK to delete a group from a report.

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rd = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();

rd.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt"));

ISCDReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument;

boReportClientDocument = rd.ReportClientDocument;

int groupCount = boReportClientDocument.DataDefinition.Groups.Count;

if (groupCount > 0)

{

for (int i = 0; i < groupCount; i++)

{

CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Group group = boReportClientDocument.DataDefinition.Groups[i];

// Remove the group

boReportClientDocument.DataDefController.GroupController.Remove(group);
//Note: when removing group by index you lessen the group count by 1 each time a group is removed
// recommended to remove group by name not index
// or remove groups in reverse order.
groupCount--;


}
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd;
