I want to set background image in the crystal report viewer so that it can be displayed in every report.
So tell me how to programmatically do it.

I had tried the following code:

CrystalReportViewer1.DisplayBackgroundEdge = False

CrystalReportViewer is a container control, by adding a background image to it would not reflect it in the reports which are separate objects (.rpt files). You can use following link to understand how to setup watermark on reports:

This has to be done for each report file.
