please tell me can i use them (rpt files) directly in web application or i will have to create all new reports?

please provide me solution or give me some good URL which can help me.

Answer 1

There is no need for creating new reports you can use the rpt files in the web application just as it was a desktop one and regardless of the version of VS.

All you need is to install Crystal Redistributable packs on the server that is hosting the application.
