What version of Crystal Reports in .NET

[vsusi]

Does CR 9.0 comes along with .NET? (Or is it just 8.5?)

Ok. If I get .NET should I buy CR 9.0?

Thanks in advance.

The Crystal Reports bundled with VS .NET is a crippled version, I'm not exactly sure of the particular version number:

Note While you may allow access to the runtime software by many users, the version of the runtime software provided with Visual Studio .NET is a performance limited edition intended for development purposes and use with Server/Web applications accessed by small groups. If a report is accessed while the server is at its performance limit, the request will be delayed until an existing request finishes. When a request is delayed the server will write a warning message to the event log. After a finite period of time, the request will time-out. When this happens the server will write another warning to the event log and throw an OutOfLicense exception. To purchase additional licenses, contact http://www.crystaldecisions.com/net/licensing.
