So I inherited this project...
-
I had one of those a few weeks ago. Cept it was my old project (been here a long time) and it was web based. Since Crystal is on the decline here (only a couple of reports left), it was easier to redo in C# and current CrystalDecisions dll's
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.
What do you use as an alternative to Crystal? Where I'm from, people work with the Crystal designer because it's relatively easy to use and you don't need programmers to create reports.

Wooooo, the Dark Crystal again X|
"Crystal Reports, with their hard and twisted bodies, their harsh and twisted wills. For a thousand years they have ruled. Yet now, there are only ten: a dying race, ruled by a dying Emperor, imprisoned within themselves in a dying land."

The language is the least of my worries (having to install Crystal Reports is far more damaging) :~ Anyway, a job is a job and this is a nice opportunity to reel in a nice customer later this year (or early next year) and bring them to Azure :D

I've used their WinForms controls in the past. Great controls and great support, I might check this out for future work :thumbsup:

Oh you poor bugger, I used to be a highly skilled CR developer but when a manager from Crystal called to ask if a problem I had reported 18 months ago was still current I changed to SSRS. Then I delegated all reporting to a junior developer.

I once inherited a project which doesn't even run when compiled as release, only as debug. And another one with a couple hundreds (not kidding) warnings. My point is, while I feel your pain, I am not shocked in the slightest.

Wow, don't think I've seen that before! :laugh:

Been there done that, turning on Option Strict in this project generates at least 100 errors.
