VB.NET 2005 and Crystal Reports

Hello,

I want to create Crystel Reports using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and
store the reports as individual files on my PC.
My database is a *.mdf (SQL Server database file).

1. Which connection method should I use when creating Crystal Reports in CR
XI r2?
2. Can someone provide me with hints on how to show the reports throug
VB.NET code in my application?
3. Later on, I intend to use a real SQL Server and no longer a SQL Server
database file. Will there be (many) changes to perform? Is there a big
difference between adressing a *.mdf file and an actual SQL Server?

Many thanks and greetings from Brugge (Bruges - Belgium),

Michel

Queries replied:-

1) Use Access/Excel DAO from create new connection.
2) Use the CR viewer for this. Use this class and u will have all the properies for performing the action.
3) If ur core SQL remains same then u will have to open the report Create connection now based on OLE Db ADO and paste the SQL in the respective command.

Thanks,

Subhro

I am getting mixed messages from the asp.net website hosting providers - some say they do not support Crystal Reports due to a $25,000 per cpu licensing fee, others say all I need to do is install Crystal Reports XI (about $500) on a dedicated server and it will run fine. Will Reports developed with the embeded Crystal Reports in VS 2005 run...

I am developing a windows application in VB.NET 2005 that includes a number of crystal reports. To use the reports I use the included crystal report viewer and pass a dataset to the report at runtime in order to report from. The issue I am having is with the amount of memory that the crystal viewer uses and doesn't recover.
