If you download the Visual Studio 2010, you may notice that Crystal Reports is not included. This is the reason why most of my codes are still in version 2008. SAP and Microsoft decided to deliver this two giant application separately. As of this writing Crystal Reports 2010 is on beta version and can be downloaded at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824.



Crystal Reports as it was before is free to download and will continue to integrate into Visual Studio IDE. As promise by SAP who obtained Crystal Reports will contain many new features compared to Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.

As for me, until Crystal Reports is in beta version I will stick on version 2008 of Visual Studio. Reporting tool just like Crystal Reports is as vital as Visual Studio. So I better wait until its final release before I upgrade my code to version 2010.
