Hi experts<br />
<br />
Both of the above products offer a report builder (VS2008 a version of Crystal Reports).<br />
But when developing an application with those two tools, which reporting tool is better?<br />
Crystal Reports Basic from VS2008 or the built in Report Builder from SQL Server 2005?<br />
And is it correct that Crystal Reports Basic has to run on the client?<br />
<br />
All I need to do is creating simple lists and invoices.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
