This tutorial is all about Generating Reports.

In my previous tutorial, I created  14-Removing User/s. Today, I will teach you how to generate a report using a Crystal Report in the Visual Studio 2008 and MySQL Database.

First, you have to set up your data source and the drivers in ODBC data source.

Now, open your ODBC data source that can be found in Administrative Tools.

Click the add button for creating a new data source.

After that, scroll down and select a driver of MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver because you are using a MySQL Database. After that, hit Finish.
