I'm new to Crystal Reports and was interested in finding out what books would be most helpful. I'm planning on using the Designer as well as integrating Crystal Reports with a .NET C# application.
Anybody have any idea which are the best books for this purpose?
Some suggestions:
Crystal Reports 2008: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series):
http://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Reports-2008-Complete-Reference/dp/0071590986/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246629337&sr=8-5
Crystal Reports 10: The Complete Reference (Complete Reference Series):
http://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Reports-10-Complete-Reference/dp/0072231661/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246629400&sr=8-26
Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET, 2nd Edition:
http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Crystal-Reports-Visual-Studio/dp/0764557300/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246629455&sr=8-34
All come highly recommended.

I am learning to use Crystal Report form in my C# Application. I can't seem to find any good tutorial on the net about it. The ones on MSDN pages looks disorganized to me.
Can anyone provide links to good Tutorial?
If you are totally new to Crystal Reports I would advise you to play a bit with the sample database that is attached to Crystal Reports Xtreme.mdb before you will use Crystal in Visual Studio.
To use CR in your application follow this step by step tutorial:

I'm putting this answer here, even though I haven't finished reading the document myself. Also, this is for Visual Studio 2005 and I'm not sure if that is the one for which you are looking. According to the copyright on the PDF, this was created by Business Objects. Once I am done reading it entirely, I'll update my own opinion.

Does anybody know some XNA 4.0 papers. I'm interested in e-books and other documents/papers. Preferably free....
Non-common websites are also welcome :) (Not returned from google search)
Charles Petzold's new Windows Phone 7 book covers XNA on the phone, that might be useful.
Free download from his site here: http://www.charlespetzold.com/phone/index.html
Microsoft have updated all of the Education catalog to be version 4. I'd start there. At this present time, I don't think that there are any Game Studio 4 books. Maybe only available on pre-order.
Shawn Hargreaves blogged about a free e-book, but I believe it's more for Windows Phone 7 development.

Our company will start a new project about IM. Currently we have a framework in C++ for IM. But someone thinks C# is better for the project. As I know, Yahoo ever started an IM in C# but gave up at last. Is there any idea about the prons and cons of C++ and C# for the IM project? We only care about windows platform.
There's nothing specific to IM that is going to alter the C++ vs C# debate. The pros and cons will be the same as they are for any other project. You'll have to weigh the speed of development, the speed of bugfixing, the ease of finding developers, and the ease of deployment and come up with an answer.

Can people suggest the best tool to determine the cyclic complexity with in a C# winforms code base.
In Visual Studio I just go to Analyze/Calculate Code Metrics and I get cyclomatic complexity.
3rd party edit
Visual Studio 2015 community edition has it as well
NDepend has a huge number of code analysis and query tools including Cyclomatic Complexity per type and method estimation.
We are using SourceMonitor. It's free, very easy to use and easy to integrate with a CI server.
DevExpress's Refactor Pro does that. It has a free trial, so you may want to give it a shot.
There is a free plugin for Red Gate's .NET Reflector called CodeMetrics that does this.

I'm looking to make calls out to a subversion repository, but I would like to write it in C#. Does anyone know of any good libraries?
Have a look at SharpSVN. This is an open-source binding of the Subversion Client API for .Net 2.0 applications.
For example, this library is used by the AnkhSVN Visual Studio Add-In.
I recommend you look at the Tortoise SVN source code.
It is mostly in C++, but since it is all done in VS, it should be easy to wrap up and use much of the code again.
You can also try SubversionSharp if you want less heavy lifting (however it is not yet a stable release, so be cautious).
How about SubversionSharp.
