Hi,
Can we edit design of crystal report at runtime in asp.net?
Yes absolutely, use the Ras(Report Application Server) sdk that comes all version of Crystal reports post CRXI.
Is it possible with visual studio 2010 (or) any web designing tool is available for doing this?
Possible with all editions of VS2010 i.e Standard,Professional etc. except Express editions.
With VS2010, only CR4VS2010 is supported which needs to be installed separately after the vs2010 installation.
Refer to the Ras Developer guide and API reference available [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary#section7].
Use the latest [SP1 |https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]for CR4VS2010 as many issues have been fixed in this service pack.
cheers!

Thank you Depu, thank you for your guidance.
I got more hand on crystal report by following you reply.
I want to explain my question in detail.
I am using crystal reports in website. ( using ASP.NET with C#.NET)
I am using visual studio 2010 and Crystal Reports 2010 (Version=13.0.2000.0).
I want to give privilege to the end user to edit (or) customize design of report.
I have search about this on web and find one application "stimulsoft" to meet my requirement.
But i want to implement it without using any seperate application.
Is it possible to do so?
Kindly reply me.
Thank you
Hi makareem85,
Yes it is possible. It will take considerable development effort though taking into account the learning curve, kind of interface you intend to give users, complexity of the reports and how many report elements you want users to modify.
I have seen developers use ras sdk to let users to add/remove database fields, parameters, subreports, groups, sorts .etc
You can check out ras sdk samples applications. Applies to CR4VS2010 as well.

Focus on 'unmanaged' samples.
cheers!
Deepu.
