I know that in VS2003 that Crystal Reports is available. The question I have is, how important is it to know the intricate details of Crystal Reports these days?
I mainly create worksheets in Excel for any reports I do. My clients seem fine with the form, but I am a bit of an Excel design hack.
So what do you think? Do you use Crystal Reports in every day programming? If not, what do you do?

Well, as a developer, my favorite reporting tool is the ReportViewer in .NET 2.0. You can display tabular data and charts and it has several really helpful features, such as paging and a built in download to excel. The only problem is that out of the box it is built for use with Reporting Services (which I understand to be similar to Crystal Reports). With a little coding, however, you can use any datasource with it. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/microsoftreporting.aspx[^] I've used it with oracle and it works great.
I will also do reports on a web page in ASP.NET if I need the user to be able to click a line item and either edit it or view details about the data. It kind of depends what the report needs to do, but IMO, and editable report isn't really a report.

Remember that ReportViewer is the easiest way for PDF exportation of data in C#  as the support is .NET 2.0 native and no driver/3rd party classes are needed.

Greetings all, I was hoping I could get some simple answers for an interview that I have tomorrow.
Here is the scoop. I am currently in a fair paying job at my company, but am no longer happy with the career path that I chose. I elected to move into IT because I knew that it would be something that I could seek advice about from my peer group. I am currently in classes to be a programmer (C# certification).
I have an interview tomorrow for a business analyst position. It's up in the IT department and I am hoping that it could be a good transition. However, I am extra nervous because I bombed my last interview upstairs (I didn't have the knowledge to do support upstairs, about a year ago).
Can some of you pose questions that you would ask if you were hiring an analyst? I won't answer them on here unless you ask me to, but I don't know what questions are going to be asked of me, and I am woried that I will mess this up if I don't have some questions set up in advance.
Anything you have I will take with gratitude, even if it's negative.
Beginning Programmer - Still learning as much as possible.

The Description:
I am a new Developer and have developed some nice useful custom Small Business Management software while at University. I am thinking of modifying the software and using it to taste the Market of Small businesses in my community (Home town).
Most of the businesses in my community have not used custom softwares (they use e.g Ms Word, Ms Excel to perfom their daily transactions), I wanna bring that to a change.
I want to modify the software to their interest (Add, remove or improve some of its features or start a new software according to their requirements)
The Problem:
I don't know how much to charge them, given that they also don't have knowledge about softwares.
Please help cause I think this can be my break through and Can also be a chance to help Small Businesses in my community to run efficiently.

How are we supposed to know what your potential clients are prepared to pay? I live in a completely different country, so I have no idea what is "the norm" around your area. It's up to you to do some market research - that means you are going to have to get in touch with businesses and find out if they genuinely do have a need, and how much they would be willing to pay to satisfy the need. Now, this is going to be tricky for you to do, because if they don't use the software currently and don't seem to miss it you are going to have to generate interest in them.
Are you really sure that you have something so revolutionary that they are going to jump at investing in your product? There's a reason that they are currently just using Office - it satisfies their needs right now. You are going to have a tough time convincing them that they need to make the transition.

Hello All,
I recently finished my GRE in preperation for attending graduate school. I was initially intent on going to a traditional university but I thought some of you might have suggetions for good online programs in cs or cis, or resources that rank them.
Thanks for any posts in advance,
Ryan

I'm confused, how does this question rate a 1.2?
It is asking about training in a training forum.
Is there something I'm missing?

It's unlikely you'll find a job in the UK with a CV like this. If you sent it to me, I'd put it straight in the bin.
All you've done is list a bunch of technologies. So what? Anyone can do this, whether they actually know the technologies or not. I could write a computer program to create a CV like yours. There will be plenty of other people out there looking for work that know the same technologies as you do. Why should a employer give your CV the time of day over the dozens of other identical CVs he/she has seen that day?
You need to sell yourself to a prospective employer, provide information in your CV that sets you apart from other, equally qualified candidates. If I was reviewing your CV, I would want to know the following:
- What projects have you worked on?
- What was your role in those projects?
- What technologies did you use, and why did you decide to use them?
- What are the significant achievements that you have made during the course of your career?
You should also target your CV at companies that are more likely to value your experience. For instance, if you have specialist experience in the financial sector, target your CV at financial institutions. This should provide more success than adopting a scattershot approach.

Well, your keyboard isn't suffering from a stuck CapsLock key, so stop shouting, and then some kind CP member might volunteer to answer your question.

Are you that dumb? This forum is not for technical queries. Your query might befit 'Web Development'.

Can anyone suggest a good employment agency in New Zealand, who specialise in Electronic Engineering / Avionics / Software / technical fields? Or anyone who works / has worked in NZ who can suggest potential employers?
At the age of 46 I am trying to relocate the family, and I need to identify potential employers. I am planning on making a short (2 week) visit to NZ about the end of July or early August, partly to see a bit of the country but mainly to talk to potential employers.

Thanks - I'll try those. From what I've seen of Internet employment sites, though, they tend to be very USA-centered (probably because that's the biggest employment market.)
Once I've tried a few more weeks on the employment message board, I think I'll try the lounge - it's not entirely on-topic, but lots of people are in the lounge!

Hi,
Sun Microsystems or Opus International are big employers over here for engineers and software developers.
For general job searching www.jobs.co.nz or www.seek.co.nz are the two most popular sites for job listings.
You could also try the job section on www.trademe.co.nz which is also a big website.
Cheers,
|
|

Thanks Mark
I've tried jobs.co.nz and seek.co.nz - there's a couple of possibles, but nothing that really suits what I've done in the past. The main problem is that most of my work history has been development and support for the South African Air Force, and NZ shut down the interesting bits of their air force some years ago.
I'll have a look at the Sun Microsystems, Opus International, and trademe.co.za sites.
Cheers
