  Yes, You can Add Crystal Report in your VB, C# Express.

  Just Make Crystal Report in any of CR version 8.0 or 8.5 and Drag Crystal Report Viewer Control on form.

  Try the following code.
  <C# Code>

  CRAXDDRT.Application crt = new CRAXDDRT.Application();
  CRAXDDRT.Report rpt;
  rpt = crt.OpenReport(@"<Report File Name with proper Path>", 0);
  //Like "C:\CrReport\abc.rpt"
  rpt.Database.LogOnServer("p2ssql.dll", "SQLServerName", "Database", "UserId", "Password");
  rpt.DiscardSavedData();
  //axCRViewer1 is Crystal Report Viewer Control
  axCRViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
  axCRViewer1.ViewReport();

  Thanks

  Hi,
  
  That is one of the limitations of C#. There's no available report tool. You'll have to upgrade to Professional edition or upper to use crystal reports in your apps.

  No, you will need Visual Studio Professional for any CrystalReport support.

  If you have a developers version of Crystal reports you should be able to create the objects in code, and design them using the reports designer that is supplied with Crystal. It has been a while since I have played with the full product (Crystal 7 and 8 where the last versions I touched).
