I am using the free version of Crystal Reports that ships with .NET. Can I use CRChart?
Not really. There is no support in this “crippled” version of Crystal Reports for getting at the title strings so there is no easy way to embed the CRChart macros. You would need to upgrade to the Advanced or Developer editions of Crystal Reports to get full use out of CRChart. If you have the Advanced or Developer editions of Crystal Reports then you will have access to the ChartObject class that allows you to programmatically access the CRChart macros.
