PageGenerator Object

The PageGenerator Object is part of the Page Engine. Use the Page Engine when designing web sites using Active Server Pages, the Crystal Report Engine Automation Server, and the Crystal Design-Time ActiveX Control. Unless you are experienced with the Crystal Report Engine Object Library, you should allow the Crystal Design-Time ActiveX Control to generate VBScript code in your Active Server Pages that controls the Page Engine objects.

The Page Engine generates pages of a report on the web server and sends the pages to client web browsers as they are requested. For example, when a user first requests a report, only the first page is sent to the web browser. If the user pages forward or backward in the report, or requests a specific page, only that page is sent. This limits the resources required by the web server and reduces download time for the client browser. A PageGenerator object generates Page Object, as they are requested and allows options for manipulating the report as a whole.
