Welcome to the second edition of Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. Crystal Reports is one of the world�s leading software packages for creating interactive reports that can be integrated into a wide range of Windows and Web applications. With more than four million licenses shipped, Crystal Reports is the leader among Windows report writers. Crystal Reports has been in the Visual Studio box since 1993, but with the introduction of Visual Studio .NET 2002, a new version, Crystal Reports .NET, was integrated more closely than ever before. And with the release of Visual Studio .NET 2003, the bar has been raised even higher, with tighter integration and more reporting options. This book will detail the functionality provided with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and how, when, and where you should integrate reports into your .NET applications.

This book does not attempt to be all-inclusive, and it will not teach basic .NET techniques. To be able to deliver a functional guide to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET, we assume that you have a grasp of essential programming techniques � in this case, a knowledge of programming in Visual Basic .NET and experience using Visual Studio .NET � and that you can apply these skills to a new technology.

This book is for programmers who want a comprehensive guide to the functionality included with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. It�s assumed that you have some knowledge of .NET and experience with Visual Studio .NET.

It is mainly aimed at readers who have some experience with Crystal Reports. However, this edition has been specifically updated to include a large section on report design, which can assist new users in learning how to create their own reports. This title should also prove valuable for readers who are new to reporting in general and who want a guide to this free reporting tool they�ve discovered within Visual Studio .NET.

This book covers the features of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET that you�ll find yourself using time and again to build complex reports and integrate them into different .NET applications. We start by explaining how Crystal Reports fits into the .NET platform and how it differs from previous versions of Crystal Reports.

This book has been written from the perspective of the solutions that developers may need to create. The .NET Enterprise Servers are the tool, not the solution. In reality, the solution may require multiple applications that work together to fulfill the developer's business need. This book is designed to help readers recognize how they can better fulfill their business needs with the Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers.

This book is unique in the breadth of topics covered. Each of the .NET Enterprise Servers is described in some depth. The book assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of the products and some of their features. The book focuses on how each product enhances or uses the .NET services and how it will help solve business process requirements.

This book is designed to help readers see Microsoft's vision for the .NET Enterprise Servers. Examples illustrate how each of these servers can be used to help create business solutions.

As the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime (CLR) continue to mature in terms of platform adoption, robustness, reliability, and feature richness, developers have an increasing need to understand the foundation on top of which all managed code runs. This book looks at the underlying platform commonalities that all developers can use, regardless of language choice or development tools. This includes languages such as C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI, and others.

You'll begin with an in-depth look at CLR fundamentals. From there, you'll review first the Base Class Libraries (BCL) and then the more advanced Framework libraries that are commonly used in most managed applications. With an abundance of working code examples and unique depth of coverage, this book will quickly get you up to speed on what the .NET Framework and CLR 2.0 have to offer.

This book is for developers experienced either with the Microsoft (.NET 1.x, Win32, or COM) or Java platforms who want to understand and program with the .NET Framework and CLR.

Essential ASP.NET with Examples in Visual Basic .NET is the Visual Basic programmer's definitive reference for ASP.NET through version 1.1. It provides experienced programmers with the information needed to fully understand the technology, and is a clear guide to using ASP.NET to build robust and well-architected Web applications.

This book begins with a discussion of the rationale behind the design of ASP.NET and an introduction to how it builds on top of the .NET framework. Subsequent chapters explore the host of new features in ASP.NET, including the server-side compilation model, code-behind classes, server-side controls, form validation, the data binding model, and custom control development. Throughout the book, working examples illustrate best practices for building Web-based applications in VB.NET.

This book focuses exclusively on ASP.NET and does not spend time reviewing .NET programming, object-oriented programming techniques, database access, or general Web application development techniques. You will be able to get the most out of this book if you have spent some time gaining experience in each of these areas.
