Crystal reports question!

[Norviking]

I'm doing an C# application, that retrieves data from an Access database, manipulate this data, and then i want to make a "report of this manipulated data". I have just heard of crystal reports, and i wonder if this is the solution to my problem.

My problem is, that I need the report to show the manipulated data from my dataset. I will not make a change to the database, just the dataset. Will I be able to send this crystal report by mail to another person, and will he then be able to open this file ie. in Word?? Or maybe even better, is it possible to create the report in a *.pdf format?

In the application, when i Click a button in the application, I want the program to save a report with the data. And when I click view report, I want this report to automatically pop up. I dont want to select it from a list. Is it possible??

This is very doable in Crystal but I do not know if you can do this from a C# project. You can definately do this in a VB or .NET project as the crystal RDC - report designer component - is available to VB.
