I am working on a VS2005 ASP .NET application. As I understand when one uses VS2005, the reporting has to be done with Crystal Reports x1 Release 2.

However, the company policy has not yet allowed to use release 2. Therefore we are in a situtaion where we have to use Crystal reports x1 Release 1.

Now could anyone tell me how I can achieve this?

Currently we are using the ASP.NET application on VS2005. Whenever there is a report to be generated, it is redirected (Server.Transfer) to another web application (running on VS2003 having its own web server) having an empy aspx page with the crystal report viewer. From here the relevant report is generated. Although the reports get generated each time it connects to the web server for reporting, it consumes precious time.

We are forced to work with VS2005 for the main application whilst using Crystal Reports xi Release 1 for reporting.

Is the approach correct? Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Any advice woud be greatly appreciated.
