Question

Is it possible to use crystal reports in Silverlight application? or is there any other reporting tool which can be used in Silverlight application..?

Answer 1

Hi.

I was also Looking for that but yet i have not found this and i don't think that will be possible.(But i think we can create applications for reporting)

I have seen  Few Reporting Applications are being developed.

thanx for that, i saw that site, but you have to buy this software. Do you have any idea about Silverlight Charting

You Can create chart by Yourself also.

There are many links you can get related to that .

Below is a blog with Webcast that demonstrates how you can launch Crystal Reports from a Silverlight application with a relatively few lines of code.

You can use Report Sharp Shooter for Silverlight, that in fact is much better than Crystal.. also you can import the rpts..

 Here is the demo.. and also it PRINTS in Silverlight...

Answer 8

Yes it is possible in Silverlight 4.0

Answer 9

Actually I wanted  to update this forum, because I spoke with someone from Sap(they own crystal reports)

and they told me  Crystal reports will be offering a    seperate "beta"  download that will include silverlight and wpf

around the same time frame  visual studio 2010  April 12 2009  will be introduced

which is certainly good news. It's nice to see their will be competition in silverlight and wpf  reporting....

  Perhaps someday someone  will include  a entity framework or (orm tool) with this as well.....

I have done this on the server side, creating a standard crystal report and opened it inside the Sl application using the WebBrowser control

Answer 13

I have one concern here is that, for executing the crystal report in the web browser control ..is there need to install .net fwk ?

Answer 14

yes i have done, it works fine on client side
