Technical Details for Crystal Reports Developer Edition 8.5

Crystal Reports Developer Edition 8.5 ... integrate it with applications. Crystal Reports is part of a suite of integrated technologies that ensure data can be accessed, analyzed, reported on and delivered to any stakeholder anytime, anywhere, by any device. Crystal Reports provides powerful reporting technology for Web and Windows developers, and you don't have to learn a proprietary programming language to get results! The Report Designer Component (RDC) provides Visual Basic, C++ and other COM-based developers a powerful report server with a rich object model with complete control over report layout, formatting and behavior inside database applications. With the RDC, you can open, design and, modify reports inside the Visual Basic IDE using familiar Visual Basic code. Microsoft Visual InterDev developers can write ASP applications with integrated Crystal Reports using the same object model used in Win32 applications. And developers using Microsoft Visual InterDev can use the Report Integration Controls to write Web applications and generate Crystal Reports hosted either on a Web Report Server or an ASP Server.

Crystal Reports Developer Edition builds on the Professional version's presentation-quality reporting and adds the development tools needed to integrate reporting, with unprecedented power, control and flexibility, into your Web and Windows applications. You can create the reports your end users demand and integrate them directly into your applications.
