How to add Crystal Reports(Standalone) to my VB.NET project

Answer Posted / madhusudhanreddy t

There are 2 versions of crystal reports available

1. standalone reports like Crystal Reports 10,XI,XI R2

2. Crystal Reports which comes with Visual Studio .Net like
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio-Embedded Reports

if want to add reports, then go to Add Existing Item (right
click on the project name in the solution explorer), browse
to the .rpt file and select it or Add New Item an select
Crystal Reports from the Templates.

if you want to display reports, you should use Crystal
Repors Viewer

coding:

private ReportDocument hierarchicalGroupingReport;

protected void Page_Init(object sender,eventargs e)
{
configurecrystalreports();
}
private void configurecrystalreports()
{
hierarchicalGroupingReport=new ReportDocument();
string reportPath=server.mappath("Hierarchical
Grouping.rpt");
hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(reportPath);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource=hierarchicalGroupingReport
;
}

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 1 No

Kindly Help for this Below Scenario, I am going to implement Power BI into our internal software. I’m familiar with the fact that each user can pay $9.99 a month to build and view reports but what I need to know is how can we embed Power BI into our application so that any users that log into our application can see the reports without the monthly fee. I’ve researched enough that it can be done. What I am not familiar with is how to do it or the pricing of embedding it into an application. I think they do pricing on how many renders you do or something. Would you be able to look into how we could embed it into our software and the cost?
