When to use the Crystal Data Source Type Library

The Crystal Data Source interface, as stated before, is designed to allow developers to create full-fledged data sources that work much like the ADO Recordset object. In fact, the interface has been designed to support properties and methods with names identical to several corresponding properties and methods in the ADO Recordset object. Through your existing knowledge of ADO, you can quickly familiarize yourself with the Crystal Data Source interface.

If you are designing an application or component that must produce a fully featured data source with methods and properties for easily navigating through records and fields, Crystal Data Source is the ideal solution. Not only is the interface easy to learn and use, it also follows a Recordset standard currently being developed by Microsoft.
