Overview of Part 3
Visual Studio .NET is a highly extensible development
environment. Over 100 ISVs will be shipping new .NET versions of their tools
and add-ons for Visual Studio .NET. You'll find a special version of Crystal
Reports integrated directly into the Visual Studio .NET IDE.
Crystal Reports fills an important role in the application development process
by providing developers with a productive, integrated, and RAD experience for
creating highly interactive relational data reports. These reports can be
generated for the entire array of .NET application types, including XML Web
services and Web-based solutions, as well as Windows-based applications running
on desktop PCs and mobile devices.
Downhill Bikes management would like to enhance their application with a new reporting
capability. The new report will enable them to drill into customer orders and
look for trends in customer spending.
Proceeding with our tour, we will use Crystal Reports to extend our existing
smart client with built-in reporting.
Part 3: Extend the Windows Form
Step 1 of 6: Add a new Visual Basic. NET Windows Form
We will add a second Windows Form to our project to contain the Crystal Report we build in the next step.
a. In the Solution Explorer, right-click WindowsApplication1, click Add, then click Add New Item. .
b. In the Templates pane, click the Windows Form icon and click Open (the default Name of Form2.vb is fine).

Step 4 of 6: Hook up the Report Viewer
In this step we will pass the data from the Web service to the Crystal Report. Crystal Reports was designed to integrate easily into Visual Studio .NET projects, so reports can reuse existing DataSets, relieving the developer from having to recreate their data access logic.
a. From the View menu, click Code. F7
b. Position the cursor on the empty line above End Class.
c. Double-click on the 3.4 Reporting code snippet in the Guided Tour toolbox.

In this step of the Guided Tour, you successfully incorporated a Crystal Reports viewer into the Downhill Bikes smart client application. This exercise illustrates the power of the Visual Studio .NET extensibility model by showing how third-party tool and language vendors can seamlessly integrate their products directly into Visual Studio .NET.
In the next step of the Guided Tour, we'll delve into Web application development and the use of Application Center Test to analyze the load performance of our Web applications.
