Crystal Reports or any other tool????

Is Crystal reports that comes with VS.NET a very good tool? I have
XtraReports (from DevExpress) licence that we decided to buy eariler then
when Crystal for .NET was very poor. So I can choose between them
(XtraReports or the new Crystal)...

What would be the best one and why ?

Tanks all

First, this is _not_ a question about how to get Crystal Reports to run on a client machine. I've got all the merge modules added to the project and it's working fine. The question is about distributing my .RPT files. 1) Initial Setup Project inclusion of .rpt files: My folder of new .RPT files keeps growing. Is there a way to point my deployment/setup project to the folder containing these .RPT files so they are added...

My organization is in the midst of making a reporting tool decision. On the table are Crystal and the reporting functionality in Access. - Report distribution is not a factor - it's all local - Training time is a factor since we have to create a boatload of reports in a short time - The ability for users to modify report formats and data content is required - Cost is a factor - no one wants to spend too much money

Hello NG, After a bit of a wait my bookstore, SoftPro of Waltham, MA, got in the Brian Bischof book: Crystal Reports .NET Programming. I have read a few books on CR, but I am very new to it, C#, and SQL. The book is excellent. Undaunted, I have plowed into a conversion of my old COBOL ERP system, MCS-3, into C#. I have quite a bit of Inventory Control done and working. For reports I am trying to use CR. I have a half a dozen of them...

In .Net, how can I go about and set a Crystal Reports namespace? Right now they use the Root Namespace (VB) from the project. How can I extend the namespace for a single report (which will be set on all reports)? Thanks for any and all help, in advance :) Mythran

Hi, I will be taking on a new project developing a web-based "reporting system". The first requirement I got from BI group is "we just want to look at the data". Basically, there is a huge database, and they want certain people to be able to drill down to the data they want, perhaps a few graphs here and there, and then extract selected data to an Excel file or a flat file for further analysis. As of now there are a handful of parameters...

I have developed an application with VB.NET, which includes the Crystal Reports (Visual Studio .NET 2003 edition) controls. I can run the application on my PC and it does work fine, but on any other PC it throws an error message once the user tries to view an existing Crystal Report file. How can I use my application to view Crystal Reports from other PCs? Do I have to include the .RPT files in the VB.NET project? What about when .RPT...

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?...

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
