Crystal Reports embedded in ASP .Net : Reliability

Question

Some years ago, I use Crystal Reports XI.5, I had problem when I generated long reports (> 25 pages) with the viewer embedded in a ASP .Net web page. If the report was short, there wasn't a problem.

My solution is to use Crystal 9 with the Java component using ASP 3 (!!!!) but there are security warning with the Java applet and it's time to upgrade it.

Does someone had the same problem with CR XI.5 ? Are the last version (CR 2011) reliable ?

(Note : I can't buy CR Web server)

Answer 1

The approach I've always taken when serving CR/XI reports via ASP.NET is to publish reports to a destination accessible by my .NET app and then read them from there. Saves a lot of headaches.
