I would like to know if there is any complications in using the stand alone- paid version of CR with .net 2010 instead of downloading and using the free version.
Also, since I am migrating a 2008 app to 2010 I would like to know if I can convert my 2008 vb.net crystal reports (free version) into the stand alone CR versions. I know that athe 2008 reports will work fine with the .net CR free version for .net 2010, but I wonder if I can convert them to the stand alone.
So, if the issue was not the cost of the stand alone version, is it better to use that one rather than the one that downloads for .net 2010. (.i.e fewer complications) These would be using datasets from SQL server.
using the bundled .net 2008 version of CR it is very easy to create a dataset in vb.net with sql and then create a report from it. Would it be just as easy using the paid verions.
Also, What about connecting the CR to the .net setup programs. Is this complicated with the paid version?
Appreciate any information or insight on this.
