    Reference to a report object

    When you work with a report as a class (see the "Storing a report and loading it" section), you may refer to the report objects directly. The following example demonstrates how to change the font of the "Text1" object contained in a report:

    SimpleListReport report = new SimpleListReport();
    report.Text1.Font = new Font("Arial", 12);
    

    In other cases, you have to use the FindObject method of the Report object, if you need to get a reference to an object:

    TextObject text1 = report1.FindObject("Text1") as TextObject;
    text1.Font = new Font("Arial", 12);
    

    To reference to a data source defined in a report, use the GetDataSource method of the Report object. This method takes a data source's alias as a parameter:

    DataSourceBase ds = report1.GetDataSource("Products");
