Hello
I'm working on an asp .net application, vs2008 framework 3.5 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008), no service pack yet.
I need to generate some very simple reports and enable to user to print or export the report to a file.
As stated in the subject i'm new to crystal report, this is my first experience with it.
To learn i've developed two web site, they differs only for the datasource: the first connect to db using ole db, the second uses a dataset.
Since i'm testing it on the visul studio development server, i'd like to know what are the common mistakes to avoid ( or what are best practices in other words) when developing a web application which uses crystal report, i.e. i've found something on the web (that i haven't fully understood) about user login failing when database is on a different server than the iis on which is running the app.
then i've noticed that including the control in an updatepanel (Ajax) the print and exporting fails shall i configure something or is incompatible with ajax technology?
thank you in advance
S
