CR.NET is what comes with Visual Studio and CR XI is stand-alone although it will also integrate with VS 2003 or 2005 (NOT 2008!). You can use either one to create reports that are used in an application. The real difference is that when you use Crystal outside of VS you have a much richer and (to my mind) easier to use interface.

You will use "parameters" in your report to do this. Before you set the ReportSource of the viewer, you will set the parameter values based on what has been entered in the form. Use the "SetParameterValue()" method of the report to set the values.
You can do a search here on the forums to find code for this if you need further assistance.

I'm trying to deploy a report imbedded in a VB.NET application. I'm just wondering if you can deploy the stand alone reports on a workstation without them having a CR "viewer"? Might simplify things somewhat if I can.
