Documented Sources

Hello,

I'm new to the whole Crystal Reports scene. We are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 at work, which has crystal reports, but I can't find any (or at most any good) documentation on it. Could someone let me know of some good web sites/books with documentation?

Thanks,

Brian Mains

Two main sources seem to be out there. The WROX book (found through this website) Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2nd Edition by David McAmis is good, but I have found it to be confusing at many turns. It's hard to keep straight if you're you don't pay attention to whether your doing Web forms or Window forms! also, some of the code doesn't give all the information to run properly.

Another source that I'm waiting to receive but has good reviews is Crystal Reports .NET Programming by Brian Bischof.

I've discovered that there are a lot of folks who know how to do .NET programming, and lot of folks who know how to do Crystal Reports, but not many resources for how to do Crystal Reports and .NET Programming together.
