  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.

  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).

  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

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