設計步驟：
1、軟件環境：要求系統已安裝Visual Studio .Net 集成開發系統，僅裝有 .Net Framework SDk 不能實現本例效果，成為 .Net Framework SDK 沒有水晶報表控件。
2、新建一個 Visual C# 項目 Windows 應用程序，設置Form1的Text="水晶報表瀏覽器"，StartPosition=CenterScreen //程序開始出現在屏幕中央，其它屬性均保持默認；
3、從工具箱拖入一個CrystalReportViewer，一個Button，一個openFileDialog，到窗體。
整個設計器的窗體布局只需將button1置于窗體底邊中部，不再需要其它多余布局。
設置crystalReportViewer1的屬性如下：
this.crystalReportViewer1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
//停*方式為充滿整個窗體
//展開+DockPadding
this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Bottom = 50;
//底部空出放置Button的區域
this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Left = 5;
this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Right = 5;
this.crystalReportViewer1.DockPadding.Top = 5;
this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = null;
//先不載入報表資源
設置button1的屬性如下：
this.button1.Anchor = System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom;
//與窗體的下邊保持固定
this.button1.Text = "打開報表";
openFileDialog1是打開文件的控件，設置其屬性如下：
this.openFileDialog1.Filter
= "Crystal Report (*.rpt)|*.rpt|所有文件(*.*)|*.*";
//提供打開文件對話框的文件類型，
默認類型就是此字符串的最前一種定義的類型
this.openFileDialog1.Title = "打開水晶報表";
//打開文件對話框的標題
布局效果圖如下：
4、雙擊button1，添加button1_Click點擊事件：
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
if(openFileDialog1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = @openFileDialog1.FileName;
//加載水晶報表，將報表文件綁定到CrystalReportView 控件;
}
catch(Exception error)
{
MessageBox.Show(error.ToString(),"錯誤");
}
}
5、OK！按Ctrl+F5運行吧。
可以瀏覽你系統內現有的報表實例：

事實上，將報表綁定到CrystalReportViewer控件有很多方法。
