Hi there,
I have a web application built with ASP.NET WebForms that can use the Crystal Report for .NET SDK to show a bunch of reports on the web.
This web application is about to be re-designed to a more modern approach using pure front technologies, JavaScript-based, without any trace of classic ASP.NET controls. In the new setup, reports could still be loaded in a WebAPI and maybe exported in a new format like pdf or excel, but not presented to the user using the CrystalReportViewer.
Question is: is there a way to still use Crystal Reports in this scenario? If so, how?
I saw there is also a CR JavaScript API available, but ONLY if you also have SAP BI Platform, which the company I work for will not buy for sure - we only need to show some reports, not build a BI. Is it possible to use it without SAP BIP? Documentation says "no", but I wanted to ask anyway.
Regards,
Mircea
