Crystal Reports Integration with VB .Net

Can anyone tell me if the MS Visual Basic .Net Standard
IDE contains the necessary modules to integrate Crystal
Reports into a distributable app?

Standard doesn't include Crytsal so you won't be able to create them from
there. However, if you have another version of the IDE, or have an
assembly that has already compiled reports and you link it to your VB.NET
standard, you should be ok. I don't think the installation merge modules
are available, but I'm not positive. You could copy the MSM's though, as
long as you specify the License Key and build it with another IDE.

HTH,

Forgive my newbie status but what do you mean by MSM's? I
have Crystal Reports 8.5 Professional installed on the
development machine ... don't know if that makes any
difference.

Cheers,

Scott.

The MSM is a 'merge module' which is something that you can include in your
setup projects. With Crystal, there are various MSM's that you need to have
run on the client machine before the reports will work. One of them is the
licensing component, regwiz.msm and there are a few others that will load
the database drivers.

Bill,

Thanks for your help and suggestions. It seems that I
will have to talk our people into spending $2000 (AUD) on
the Visual Studio IDE to get all the things that are
needed.

Cheers,

Scott.

You can go the upgrade version from just about anything and get it for
a tad under $1000.

I know this may not be the best NG for this, but I feel you guys know more about this than any of the other NGs. I need to build several simple reports (over 50 of them and they get their data from sql server) and I was wondering whish of these is the better tool .. We're still not sure if they'll be loaded from an existing VB6 application or if I'll have to make a separate module for them (in .Net). In general, which is the better tool?...
