Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010

Crystal Report is a easy tool for us to design and generate report from data source. But unfortunately, Visual Studio 2010 didn't included it, you need to download from SAP as add-on application. Plus, if you using Visual Studio Express 2010 you may not to using features like editing .rpt file, export as pdf file format, etc. Express version only install runtime which enable you to view crystal report. Another weakness of Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010 is when you put your crystal report to server, your server need to install runtime in order to view crystal report. It's quite inconvenience for those company which sell their product to client because need to include runtime msi which occupied up to 70MB. For your more information, please take a look here. Thanks~ =)
