    Hi,

    I don't think this is a C# problem in general but one of the CrystalReports Software (if this is what you are using?). You should look that problem up in the documentation or search for help in their forums.

    If this isn't CrystalReports but your own class, then no one can really help you because it's your decision what happens if you cast a string to CrystalReports.

    Regards,

    Steve.

    i did not get complete picture, you have one report viewer where you want to bind a report object which is bound to a datatable. Here, you can do eveything  with single viewer and single report object. You just need separate datatable to bind the report object to that. It should work, just need to pass dataset only.

    see joon

     CrystalReport1 a = new CrystalReport1();
    here  CrystalReport1 a = new CrystalReport1(); is hard coded i need to use "reportname"  by casting just like this

    reportname a = new reportname();

    so that i can  dynamically pick the required report.

    how can i cast crystal report object from give string

    I am not sure if I get your question correctly, but if you do not want to create and initialize crystal report object, create and initialize at class level, so that you only set the data source based on your report name.

    CrystalReport1 a = new CrystalReport1();

public void loadreport(string reportname, DataSet Recordset)
{
            try 
			{
                if (reportname == "test1")
					a.SetDataSource(Recordset.Tables[0]);
                if (reportname == "test2")
					a.SetDataSource(Recordset.Tables[1]);               
                crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = a;
                crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();
            }
            catch (System.Exception s)
            { }
}
