Visual Studio 2005 - Crystal Reports

Played around with crystal reports for asp.net today. I have noted some pleasant changes from the previous version.

  1. The ability to format multiple objects at once: this is great for applying consistant formatting to a row of body fields.

Some negative points:

  1. Crystal report viewer does not allow you to use the print/export buttons if the the reportviewer is inside an atlas:updatepanel. Im sure there are some work-arounds for this issue, but will abandon experimentation until such a time as i can afford to work on the bleeding edge again.
  2. The width and height properties of the reportviewer cannot be set using percentages.
