• Visual C++ Using Crystal Reports 10 with Visual C++ and C

  Hi All, I have used crystal reports with C# in .Net enviornment, but I am not sure how advisable it is to implement Crystal reports in C++ or C. This report generation is new development and the first tool that came to my mind was Crystal Reports unless there are other tools in the market that would be more useful to use with C++ and C.

• Visual Basic Access an application in server by multi-users

  I am a new VB.Net developer. I created a standalone desktop window-based application to query SQL server database and print them in crystal report. It is running well on desktop.
