Hi,
I own a Visual Studio .NET Professional license and I am new to CR and Visual Studio.
How can I include report design at runtime on my deployed application?
I've read about report creation API and report designer component, but I can't find them in my IDE. I think they are not available in VS .NET Professional.
Regards,
Mircea
 
I think I found the answer myself.
Document "Extend the Power of Crystal Reports" (file 85_vsnet_matrix.pdf from CR site) states Report Creation API it's not included in VS .NET.
Report Creation API is part of Crystal Reports 8 and 8.5 Developer Editions. According "Report Creation at Runtime Frequently Asked Questions" at I must purchase licensing for each user of my application prior to deploying application; RC API Licenses cost $199 US per single named-user!
All I have to do is to develop an API for report design at runtime for my VS .NET application. :(
