Crystal Reports pass parameter to sub report using VB.Net

Question

I have been trying to pass parameter to crystal report subreport using Vb.Net but failed in every time.

I could successfully pass parameter to main report but not sub report.

Main report contains master information about an employee and the sub report has detailed info about his academic qualifications. All linked using serviceNo of type int. I have parameter in both reports called serviceNo.

Here is my code:

Dim frmReport As New frmReport
Dim repDoc As New ReportDocument

Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions
Dim crParameterFieldDefinition As ParameterFieldDefinition
Dim crParameterValues As New ParameterValues
Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As New ParameterDiscreteValue

crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = serviceNo
crParameterFieldDefinitions = repDoc.DataDefinition.ParameterFields
crParameterFieldDefinition = crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item("serviceNo")
crParameterValues = crParameterFieldDefinition.CurrentValues

crParameterValues.Clear()
crParameterValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)
crParameterFieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameterValues)

After this peace of code I get a prompt requesting the serviceNo parameter of the sub report.

Would some one paste the proper code to pass same parameter to sub report.

just use

  cryRpt.Subreports("Your Sub Report").SetDataSource(Your Data Source)

to set parameter in sub report use

  cryRpt.SetParameterValue("Sub report Parameter", Value of the parameter, "Sub report Name")
