Visual Studio Developers Should Know About Crystal Reports 2008

Visual Studio 2008 Professional includes “Crystal Reports 2008 Basic.” The Standard and Express versions of VS2008 do not include the bundled Crystal Reports.

“Crystal Reports 2008 Basic” is quite different than “Crystal Reports 2008.” The Basic version has the same feature set as the previous version (that was embedded into Visual Studio 2005). In fact, if you look at Crystal Reports section of the Visual Studio MSDN documentation (Development Tools and Langauges/Visual Studio/ Tools and Features/Crystal Reports), the list of “What’s New” is as follows:

·         ClickOnce deployment supports the HomeSite attribute and is now available for x64 bit machines.

·         Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 supports both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

·         Support for the .Net 3.5 Framework.

Crystal Reports 2008 does not yet integrate with Visual Studio 2008 but an upcoming update will provide this integration. You will need to watch the Business Objects website for more information on this.

If you want to host your website and integrated it with Crystal report, you can choose our hosting, Seekdotnet.com . We are crystal repot hosting specialist .Now, we can support Crystal Report 2005 and 2008.

.NET Framework 4 Beta 2 have been released

The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that supports building and running the next generation of applications and Web services. The key components of the .NET Framework are the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It  provides a managed execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and integration with a wide variety of programming languages.

The documentation for the .NET Framework includes an extensive class library reference, conceptual overviews, step-by-step procedures, and information about samples, compilers, and command-line tools. To locate the information that interests you, see the following list of main topic areas.

.NET Framework 4 beta was made available with experimental software transactional memory support. Whether this functionality will be available in the final version of the framework has not been confirmed.

In conjunction with .NET Framework 4, Microsoft will offer a set of enhancements, codenamed Dublin, for Windows Server 2008 application server capabilities. Dublin will extend IIS to be a “standard host” for applications that use either WCF or WF.

There are lot of new features in ASP.NET 4.0 like html, jscript snippets, new development profiles, generate form usage, enablePersistedSelection, web.config transformation, compression enabling for session values etc.

Seekdotnet will launch .NET 4 framework officially if the full version have been released. We have prepared our server to setup the new .NET framework
