I am currently using ASP.Net 2003 and will be upgrading to 2005
sometime in the near future. I have been having issues with using
Crystal Reports that were included with .Net to handle my reporting
needs. I was wondering if anybody has an opinion on how the new
reportViewer control works in comparison to Crystal. One of the main
problems I have been having with Crystal Reports is that they seem to
load very slow no matter how small the report is and no matter how fast
the server is. I also have been having a problem (and I think this is
a Crystal bug) with creating the report to work with lets say the pubs
database. Then when I transfer to a different machine and want to use
a different database name pubsTest, the report fails. The application
that we are writing will have about 50 -100 people using it (not all at
once). One of my concerns with crystal was that I believe it has a
limit on how many people can run reports. Is this the case with RDLC?
Are RDLC faster? More reliable? Easy to use?
