Yes, there are a lot of differences. .NET is a feature-limited version of
CR9. They left a lot of stuff out so that you will updrade to CR9. But it
really depends on what you want to do. If you just want to write basic
reports without too many frills, then .NET works fine. If you want fancy
report objects (more control over charts, more formating options) or if you
want to do sophisticated runtime customization of reports, then you need
CR9. (.NET does runtime report modifications, but it is also limited).
