You cannot use a dataset in the designer. A dataset is a .NET construct for .NET SDKs. However you have several options:
1) Build a Dataset Provider DLL and use that to create your report. See Using The .NET DataSet Provider in Crystal Ente... | SCN
2) Create an XML from the dataset and use that to build your report. Then in your .NET app point the report at the dataset:
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet)
