How to Use Crystal Reports 11 With Asp.Net
Crystal Reports can be used with ASP.NET when you have a Web application ready for deployment on your server. To add reporting for crystal reports to a Web application, the addition of Crystal Reports merge modules is needed. You will need to use Visual Studio.NET to build your Web application prior to deployment on the server. However, you will also require the license key for your Crystal Reports 11 to add the merge modules.
