Calling .NET codes from Crystal report? 1

[maulae]

In my database some of the fields store data in array sting values with a field separator comma i.e for name of a item is stored in field Itemname as ‘Milk,sugar,Tea’ and their respective prices are stored in an other field ItemPrice as ‘3.00, 1.50, 2.50’.
Now I have written the code in crystal with array variable to display each Item name and price on independent line in the report, these reports are published on web through .Net, I am dealing with crystal report only and there is an other .NET developer who also writes code to evaluate these string array field, now my question is - Is there a way for calling .Net code from Crystal Report?

Because in the future if field separator is changed from comma to semicolon then I can call that code in my report.
Thanks

You can't directly call .NET code, but you might be able to create a UFL (universal(?) function library) that all of your reports would call to do this transformation. Then, all you would have to do is change and recompile the UFL to change the way this is processed in all of your reports.

I've never created a UFL, but there is documentation available for them.
