Introduction

When we developed web applications using .NET 2005 with an Oracle database there was a request from our customers. They wanted us to print reports with header and footer on each page, and convert the file to other file formats such as Excel. The requirement can be implemented using Crystal Reports in .NET 2005. This article is a note for us on how to develop reports using crystal reports in .NET 2005 with Oracle, and to deploy web site with crystal reports which took us much time, especially for deployment. Hopefully it can help you, and save you some time.
