Download Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2012





By default, Visual Studio doesn’t come with Crystal Reports. Microsoft has now its own reporting tool with an .rdlc extension. In order to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio, you need to download it from SAP’s website.
Crystal Reports is now called “SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio” and can be downloaded at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-35074.
The current version as at the time of this writing is 13.0.5. You may need to visit the link above to get the latest release.
