Most of us who uses the integrated crystal report that comes with Visual Studio tool wants to know what would the enhancement in the new release compares to the old version. Below is what have posted the general key improvement or added functions:
What are the new features?
- New WPF Viewer
- New XLSX export to take advantage of the big grid for data-only Excel exports
- Improved report viewing experience provides more interactivity to end users of your reports.
- New read-only RPT file called RPTR that allows you to control who can see the internals of your report design. You create a RPTR file by exporting it from an RPT. After that, RPTR files can only be opened by the report viewers. oUR Report designer tools will refuse to open RPTR files – protecting your internal business logic in the report.
- Improved embedded report designer – for example you can now create dynamic, cascading parameters.
- Various .NET API improvements to improve the migration for COM-based RDC customers.
- Lighter weight English-only runtime for reduced deployment size.
- More flexible MSI deployment to replace MSM use cases.

Ever since Visual Studio has released it’s latest version, quite a number of developers who have implemented the crystal reports (bundled) on their previous version are searching if this new VS have the crystal report supports. Apparently, there is and it is currently posted with updates on SAP blogs. This means that, SAP will be providing the crystal report for free, providing the same Crystal Report 2008 EULA. No registration is required.
As in previous version, Crystal Report is bundled together with the VS2008 and is released by Microsoft but for this new version, it would require a separate download for the crystal report development tool.

While developing one of the apps. for demo on a touchscreen device, it came to surprise on the application windows sizing function. I have set the formborderstyle to fixedsingle in hope to disable the application from resize but it seems that it was able to shrink/un-maximize from maximized application. I tried playing around with the values in the window properties but to no avail.
I search around the net and found an interesting code snippet posted on Microsoft community newsgroup (idea originates from the MVP, Herfried K. Wagner):
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
Const WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK As Int32 = &HA3
If m.Msg = WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK Then
Exit Sub
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
Having that codes in the winforms disabled the window resizing on double clicking of the title bar. Great one!
