Are there other reporting tools other than reporting services and crystal reports
Has anyone had any experience with any reporting tools other than Reporting services and Crystal reports? If so, is there one that you would strongly recommend? Or, are these two the top choice on the market for report generation from .NET? I have heard some moaning and groaning about reporting services. Specifically in regards to the amount of time needed to design a report. Crystal reports seems kind of difficult to me, as I don't have any training with it. Basically I am looking for a reporting tool that is easy to use, and can be used from .NET....

crystal reports .net -> crystal reports .net 2003
recently converted a project from .net to .net 2003. The 2 crystal reports I had in the project do not load when executing the application. The project itself within 2003 will allow me to multiplat the crystal reports, however when it comes to execution time I get the error: Invalid Data Source. If this isn't the right forum please point me to the right one as this is really the only website I know of with a large reader base. >to multiplat the crystal reports To what the crystal reports? Do you have the same database connections established and verified in your 2003 s...

VS .net 2005 Crystal reports ok to run on Crystal Reports XI?
I am getting mixed messages from the asp.net website hosting providers - some say they do not support Crystal Reports due to a $25,000 per cpu licensing fee, others say all I need to do is install Crystal Reports XI (about $500) on a dedicated server and it will run fine.

Crystal Reports vs SQL Reporting Services
Hi all! May I ask which is better to use: Crystal Reports or SQL Reporting Services? Thanks to all. What are your reporting needs?  This will likely dictate one solution over another moreso than anybody's personal recommendations. My personal experience with Crystal (9.x and below) is that you'll be struggling for a while to get reporting that even works (especially web-based reporting).  Reporting Services, on the other hand, has always just worked for me.  But, there are certainly limitations with both products. So, my personal preferences are in the following order.&nbs...

Reporting (Crystal Reports vs. Custom .NET)
Ok, so I have to confess, I have never tried Crystal Reports. I just recently started working for a marketing company now and reporting is VERY important to them.  I am currently migrating a lot of the applications they use from VB5 and VB6 to web based .NET 3.5 apps.   The whole company is running off ACCESS databases if you can believe that.  They sometimes have up to a few hundred agents taking sales on incoming calls and chat sessions and they are all getting streamed to FLAT file records (completely un-normalized database).  I am in the process of developing a c...
