How to retrieve dynamic list of values (CR XI .NET)

Using: Crystal Reports 11

Setup:

Step 1: Added Query to xtreme.mdb
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Samples\en\Databases\

SELECT DISTINCT Orders.[Ship Via]
FROM Orders
ORDER BY Orders.[Ship Via];

Step 2: Modify Orders.rpt (Edit Parameter: Ship Via)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11\Samples\Code\CR.NET\C-Sharp for VS 2003\CRSetDiscreteParametersSample

a) Change List of Values to Dynamic
b) Chose a Data source Ship Via
c) Value (Ship Via) Parameters (Ship Via)
d) Save

Step 3) Using .NET open the report without setting any parameters
A dialog comes up and prompts you for the data. The one for Ship Via is a
combo box with the possible values filled in. These came from the database.

I would like to retrieve those values that are in the combo box. I need to
be able to do this using [VB/C#].NET.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello Dave,

Unfortunately the SDK does not have support for the new parameters yet. This means that it will not be possible to get retrieve the dynamic list of values at runtime.
