We are currently using CR 11 with Visual Studio C++ and would like to move to CR 13 or 14.
We've looked over some of the documentation and forum responses and were hoping to confirm what is required. We would welcome any responses, but would especially like to get a response from someone at SAP (Ludek and Bhushan have been very helpful with their responses to others).
As mentioned above, our current environment is:
Visual Studio C++
Crystal Reports 11 (CRViewer.DLL and CRAXDRT.DLL)
Using User Defined Functions via COM (some of these interact with our C++ DLL's)
We would like to use Visual Studio 10 (C++). At this point, we believe we need to do the following:
Use the .Net DLL that is part of CR 13 (instead of CRAXDRT.DLL) (possibly having a C# DLL that interacts with the Crystal and then calling this DLL from our C++ code).
I see there is User Defined Function support via .Net, although it wasn't clear to me if we could continue to use the COM User Defined Function approach or not. Is it still an option to use the COM User Defined Functions or is it required to switch to the .Net User Defined Functions.
If anyone has any input on these assumptions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
