In this chapter, we had a look at how Crystal Reports.NET accesses different data sources, as well as looking at some of the options for working with data within the Report Designer itself. We also had a brief look at creating ADO.NET datasets and walked through how to design and integrate reports using them.
With all of this behind us, it is time to look at one of the most time-consuming tasks when creating reports - integrating formulas and logic in our report, which is covered in Chapter 7.
