Question : Need help with Crystal Report and Visual Studio

I am trying to get my first Crystal Report working under Visual Studio 2008. Please note I am NOT using SQL Server. The problem is the report is coming up blank. I THINK it's a parameter problem but I am not sure. This is what I have done: First I added a dataset with a data adapter under App_code. It's called hardcard.xsd. It calls a mainframe DB2 stored procedure. When I click on Preview Data and give it a parameter it calls up the correct data. So I know that part is working correctly. The parameter is called Prmt_ID.

Then I created a report using the Crystal Report wizard under Visual Studio. I used the previous dataset as the datasource. The wizard listed it as one of the available Data Sources under Project Data. The report is named BuildingPermt.rpt and is located under a folder called Permits. I added a Parameter Field via Field Explorer and called it Prmt_ID.

Under the same folder as the report I added a web form and called it BuildingPermit.aspx. I added a CrystalReportViewer. Here is the code:

This is the code that I have put in the code behind. I have blocked out my userid info for this post.

    End Sub

        ConfigureCrystalReports()

    End Sub
End Class

I worked through a lot of connection issues and at this point I am not getting any error messages. The Report viewer controls are displaying and the Report Parameter is showing but nothing else. I tried to add a row selection for the table field to match the parameter but it says there is no such table field. I've tried given it a default value to see if that would make data appear but that hasn't helped either. Do I need to add some kind of code for the dataadapter? I've been messing around with this thing for weeks and my bosses are getting impatient. Help!

Please only use this code don't use setdatasource:
Public Sub configuracrystalReports()
Dim BuildingPermit As New ReportDocument()
Dim reportpath As String = "C:\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\LandMgmt\permits\BuildingPermt.rpt"
BuildingPermit.Load(reportpath)

Dim mytable As New App_Code/Hardcard.HardcardDataTable
Dim myadapter As New App_Code/HardcardTableAdapters.HARDCARDTableAdapter

myadapter.Fill(mytable, 192174)
BuildingPermit.SetDatabaseLogon("yourusername", "yourpassword")
BuildingPermit.SetDataSource(DirectCast(mytable, DataTable))

myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = BuildingPermit

End Sub

Don't import your table/tableadapters. You need to figure out the correct naming for them you should see them using intellisense. They should be there for you.
You need to use fill.
I don't know why yours have App_Code before the dataset name. I wonder if the issue is how you created it.
