Well Crystal is free and lots of people use it because it's in the box with ..net. Been around for years so lots of devs have used it. Extremely powerful and easy to substitute various data sources.

Well, it's not "free". It's licensed to VS.NET developer. While there is no limit to distribute an application internally within the organization, it might need a written authorization from SAP BusinessObjects when you want to deploy a server application to third parties. http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/visualstudio/licensing/index.epx http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/products/reporting/crystalreports/crystal_reports_for_vs_net.pdf

It really depends on what do you mean by "report". If it's a simple request to the database with a table as a result, then you can do this without Crystal Reports or any other extra tools. A web version can be done by ASP.NET. An export to PDF could be done by Siberix or iTextSharp. If you need a multipage reports with diagrams and filters, go for Crystal or similar tools

If you need a multipage reports with diagrams and filters, >go for Crystal or similar tools Our reports will be in mult-pages, eg. some reports may up to 100 pages. We want the company executes be able to view the report online so we need to spin off the report module from desktop. The query of result will need traditional SQL joining several tables by supplying parameters, such EmplyeeNo, date, place, ...etc. Is there Crystal Reports component built-in VS 2008?
