  • CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

    The CrystalDecisions.ReportSource namespace provides classes that comprise a layer between the CrystalReportViewer control, and the ReportDocument object model.

  • CrystalDecisions.Web.HtmlReportRender

    The CrystalDecisions.Web.HtmlReportRender namespace provides support classes for the rendering events in the CrystalReportViewer control and the CrystalReportPartsViewer control. To improve performance, you can write a cache manager that allows the client document to share jobs and cache HTML pages. BeforeRender, BeforeRenderContent, and BeforeRenderObject, events allow the control to accept user data that comes from the cache manager; AfterRender, AfterRenderContent, and AfterRenderObject events return HTML data that the user can put into the cache manager. The OnRenderScript event allows the control to accept user data when the HTML scripts generation starts, while the OnRenderStyle event allows the control to accept user data when the HTML style class generation starts.

    The CrystalDecisions.Web.Services namespace provides support classes for exposing Crystal Reports as a Web Service.
