Is there any way to use RB with Visual Studio 2008. We are planning to develop the similar application with VS 2008. One of the bigest problem is re-develop all reports. If RB can be used within VS2008, that will save us lots of time.
One option is to use Delphi to build a COM object that contains the RB reports. Call the COM objec from .Net. Delphi and .NET both have excellent support for COM.
For ASP.NET, we have an example of using RB Server Edition to build an RB WebTier COM object that can be called from ASP.NET.
If you are trying to port a large code base to .NET, I recommend proceeding in phases and doing some performance benchmarks/reality checks along the way. Be open to redesigning the architecture of your application and to leveraging native code via COM.
