CrysDev: A Developer's Guide to Integrating Crystal Reports

Covering the integration method recommended by Crystal Decisions, the Report Design Control (RDC), this book provides developers with an understanding of what components make up the RDC, how to use them, and what objects, collections, methods, and properties are available. Developers are shown how to provide users with printing, previewing, and report design capabilities. Also covered are how to determine which components to distribute, a step that has confused developers due to the number of files needed and their placement and registration on the target PC, and how to troubleshoot problems when they occur on the user’s computer. Additionally, developers are shown how to create reports using Crystal Reports .NET.
