        string pdfFile = "c:\\csharp.net-informations.pdf";

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
            cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;

                CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = pdfFile;
                CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
                CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;

                sendmail();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
            }
        }

        private void sendmail()
        {
            try {
                SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert(0, "your hostname");
                MailMessage Msg = new MailMessage();
                Msg.To = "to address here";
                Msg.From = "from address here";
                Msg.Subject = "Crystal Report Attachment ";
                Msg.Body = "Crystal Report Attachment ";
                Msg.Attachments.Add(new MailAttachment(pdfFile));
                System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(Msg);
            } 
            catch (Exception ex) { 
                MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString()); 
            }         
        }
    }
}

cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");

The Crystal Reports file path in your C# project files location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of Crystal Reports file like c:\projects\crystalreports\CrystalReport1.rpt
