There are some enhancements in CR 9 for .NET developers. See http://www.crystaldecisions.com/products/crystalreports/net/topten.asp for information about enhancements. You'll want either the Developer or Advanced editions, depending on your needs.


>I’m trying to decide if I want to buy Crystal reports for VS .NET or not.
>The problem I’m having is that I don’t know what they call the version that comes with VS .NET and I’m not sure what I’d really be gaining by purchasing a copy verses just using what came with VS. I currently do my reports for both desktop and web apps as XML /XSL since the beta version of crystal did not work on a win98 desktop. I'm now interested in checking out Crystal.

>Anyone know the added benefits of purchasing a copy of Crystal 9?
>Also, there are so many versions. I read a tech sheet that said that Advanced version is needed for access to ADO.Net. That gets pretty expensive!
