• Merging webapps. Moving (typed) Crystal reports from one application to another.

  Two of my projects got so entangled that the only way out was merging them into one. They were several asp.net apps which had (code) references to each other.

  Actually I do like Crystal Reports. It may not be perfect but the way it works with datasets, its grouping a selecting options and the web report viewer are very workable.
