C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns: ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES
