crystal report

[Guest]

Hello.
As I know the crystal report is part of visual studio.
1.When I open a new project I don't have the Crystal
Report option. I have
C#,C++,V.B,Setup & deployment and visual studio solutions,
but noting about crystal report! How can I open crystal
report project?
2. Can I use the crystal report to build report from data
that I have in SQL Server?
Thank you very much

Yes I had the same problem.
Start a new project in the language you are about to program. Eg VB.NET.
Then add a file to the project by right clicking the project folder. Now
you'll see a "Crystal Report" template. Give it a name and press Open.
You'll see the rpt file in the project folder. When you close your .net
environment you can go to the folder on your drive that contains the rpt
file. Double click the file and it will open in your dev env.
