How to start working on Crystal Report?

[Coder4Ever]

Hey ppls I made one POS application in C#.Every thing has ended except generating a report

I tried to use Crystal Report. But the wizard asks me to locate the database. But I worked on SQL db(i.e its extension is .mdf and .ldf) ........ so i cant locate my database to the crystal report . So I cant do my report on crystal report.

Can any body gives me a hint. Or may be other reporting system rather than Crystal report if it is better.

Thank you.

What version of CR? Sounds like it's looking for Access databases

I am using Visual Studio 2008. and it has no File Filter for .mdf files ....even i make to filter all files then I selected x.mdf(i.e it is my database) but it causes an error (this file cant be .......)
Thank you.

with CR, don't you choose which database provider it's for? then it asks you for the database?

Hi,
Try to use FastReport .NET http://ns.fast-report.com/en/product...eport.Net.html
It's very easy in use.
