	Have the orginial book, great forum! I'm using Crystal Reports XI with VS2003. The company is planning on going to VS2008 shortly. I beleive its the Professional edition and that comes with Crystal Reports Basic for 2008. Can we still use Crystal Reports XI with both Visual Studio's? Any advantage of using one over the other? We have a lot of .NET projects that use version XI presently. Getting this information on the web seems scarce. Thanks for your response...

	Yes, you can use CR XI with VS 2008, but it was released before VS 2008 came out. So you need to download the latest service pack. There is SP0 which only enabled VS 2008 compatibility, and now they have SP1 which does the same as well as fixes bugs. I recommed SP1.

Is there any advantage for using the VS2008 CR version instead? Any "gotches" you know about? What would you suggest? Edited by msny - 21 Nov 2008 at 1:07pm

	Actually, from experience, Crystal XI reports will run in VS 2008 but Crystal XI will NOT integrate into VS 2008. It comes with Crystal 10 and Crystal 2008 will integrate but the last I heard from BO, there are no plans to integrate XI. I wasted a week fighting with this issue and ended up going back to VS 2005. -Dell
