Crystal Reports 10 & .NET

First I'm an almost complete newbie at .NET, as I've only taken some
classes, worked through a beginner-level book, and done one minor console
application on my own.

That being said, I followed a method from Sybex's "Mastering Crystal Reports
9" to import a version 10 Crystal Report into a Windows Form, using Visual
Studio.NET

Following the instructions, I then dropped a ReportDocument object onto the
form & linked it to the report. Then the book gave some code to update the
report's database properties, and said to place it in this ReportDocument
object.

Even though I dropped this object onto the form, I do not see any visual
representation of it in Visual Studio. I figured they may have meant to
modify the reports code-behind page (myreport.vb), however, the book said in
the previous section that if you modify the Report's code-behind page, as it
would be overwritten if any changes were made to the report, later, etc.

How do I get to the properties of the ReportDocument object? Thanks in
advance for any help here.

I don't have a copy of the Sybex book in front of me. But considering that
it isn't a .NET specific book it is probably missing some details. You can
download a some free chapters of my book that show you how to add and
integrate a report into .NET. Also, I think if you are looking for a preview
of your report inside Visual Studio then you won't see it. This won't be
implemented till .NET 2005 (but it does work for ASP.NET forms).
