    Hey Maryam,

    Many of the features of the full product are included with the version that is bundled with Visual Studio. There are a few diferences, however. A short list of differences between Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 and Crystal Reports XI can be found in the docs.

    For a (much, much) longer version, check out this comparison chart from the Business Objects website.

    One thing that I don't think is mentioned in either comparison is that a full version of Crystal Reports XI also include the Basic License for CrystalReports.com.

    It has most features that if you purchase it separately, but there are some things that are not. There tends to be more database connection dlls in the full version to use more database types, as well as some extra abilities in designing the report. One feature is when you add an Image to the report, there is a formula field in which you can pass the filepath to make it a dynamic image. When it comes to licensing the two versions are identical unless you purchase an Enterprise product.
