Converting Crystal Reports to DevExpress reports - crystal-reports

I'm currently converting all of the Crystal Reports we have at work to DevExpress Reports. However, I haven't been able to find the DevExpress equivalent of CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section. What would the correct class be? I am using DevExpress v 16.2

You actually have something similar in xtraReports, named Report Bands as you can see in the image below

Crystal Report dynamic parameter values do not show up in prompt when report is opened within SAP B1

Crystal Report dynamic parameter values do not show up in prompt when report is opened within SAP B1. However, it is working fine when the report is opened in Crystal Report Designer. Please help thanks!
You need to run the report and initiate the parameter from inside Crystal Reports when on B1.
The list you see from outside only shows if you're using a parameter query like #SELECT, etc ...

Crystal reports 2011 list tables in footer

I'm using Crystal reports 2011 standalone. Is it possible to list the tables used within a report in the footer?
Thanks
No. You could use the Crystal Reports SDK to extract the report's metadata and store it in a table, however. See: Reverse Engineering Crystal Reports Definition Files

Create Report using Crystal Report XI from DataSet

*STEP 1.*My program get Crystal Report (XI sp6) templates from admin. It parses the templates to get SQLs from that and then populate it to get DataTables for each SQL.
*STEP 2.*After that, it push the DataTables back into the ReportDocument to create the report by using the following code:
// there no subreport in our template
//mainDS include all populated DataTable having the same name of related CR Command Alias
foreach (Table tab in doc.Database.Tables)
tab.SetDataSource(mainDS.Tables[tab.Name]);
The problem is (I wonder if it is a Crystal Report Bug): if there is 2 Command in the template, when the code tab.SetDataSource(mainDS.Tables[tab.Name]); is executed for doc.Database.Tables[0] then doc.Database.Tables[1].Fields is become the same to doc.Database.Tables[0].Fields and ofcause I get an error.
I do not get this error with all templates, just some :(. All templates worked well in Crystal Report GUI!!!
Please help if it not bug or please show me how to work around!
I am using Crystal Report XI Developer Edition with latest pack, VS2005. Oracle 10g, Devart DotConnect for Oracle Free version.
After mining SAP document and test many times, I think that it is a bug of CR XI R2 sp6. So I on report I only keep 1 Command, If there is a need for other commands, I will create subreports and put the commands in these.

Open Crystal Report with a parameter

Normally, I use Microsoft report and I can call parameter.
But for Crystal Report 2008 I want to call the report with a parameter to see the data from my bd on the report.
My report is bound to a data set.
Hope the following links will help you

Browse image in Crystal Report

As the post says,
There is a formula in the "format graphic" dialog where you can set the image path. So you could use a discrete parameter or a datafield to set the value.
But I could not find the same in Crystal Reports 9. So how can I assign image path in Crystal Reports 9 ?
Can you get your hands on a copy of XI or later?
If there are just a few possible images, you cam insert them all and conditionally display them. There might be other solutions, depending on what database you're using, and whether you're using Crystal with .NET/Visual Studio or on its own.
