Upgrading Crystal Reports for VS2005 Pro

[Former Member]

I am currently using VS 2005 Pro with the 10.2.3600 Crystal Reports (CR) version.

I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade to a newer version of CR and still use it with the VS 2005 Pro IDE. I use CR to build and deploy desktop applications which generate reports.

Please advice.

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to upgrade to newer version of CR with VS 2005 Pro.

Latest product of Crystal Reports is Crystal Reports 2008.

Hope it helps!!
