One of the features of ASP.NET 4.0 is built-in support for bi-directional URL routing. In this article, Rohit examines some of the new features available with the use of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 more details with some hands-on work and shows the URL routing with the .NET Framework 4 Beta 1. This covers the benefits of URL routing and changes with ASP.NET 4.0. Mainly we will be seeing how ASP.NET 4.0 makes things easier by implementing bi-directional routing with the help of components like the RouteTable, PageRouteHandler and ExpressionBuilders. This allows ASP.NET 4.0 users to easily decouple URLs from physical files.

In this fourth part of the series, Vince Varallo examines the creation of an employee report and demonstrates the usage of Crystal Reports object model to change the grouping fields and manipulate the properties of the group at runtime to show or hide sections, reset the page number, or insert a page break using Visual Studio 2008. He provides a step-by-step analysis of each procedure with the help of relevant screen shots and source code.

In this third part of the series, Varallo shows how to rebuild the Invoice created in Part 1 using disconnected datasets instead of connecting directly to the database. This gives the user the flexibility to manipulate the data and implement rules in a c# business class rather than in the report. He provides a detailed overview of each concept in a step-by-step manner supported with screen shots and source code.

We have come across a situation where we have to generate the report from more then 2 queries using crystal reports. All queries are different -- 2 transaction tables with relevant joins from dimension tables. So to make the report we have to create 2 different connections from the universe and it eventually gave performance problems when dealing with a large sets of records. In this case, we have to link each query with the others on the basis of common dimensions. While fetching a report with a large amount of data, it takes a lot of time to complete.
