    Using the Report component in Visual Studio (WinForms)

    Let us consider the typical use of the Report component in Visual Studio. We will use the data from a typed dataset.

    • create a new Windows Forms application;
    • add a dataset into it ("Data|Add New Data Source..." menu item);
    • switch to the Form designer;
    • add the "DataSet" component on a form and connect it to the typed dataset that you have created.

    To create a report, perform the following steps:

    • put the "Report" component on a form:

    • right-click it (or click on a smart tag button) and select the "Design Report..." item:

    • choose the data source to use in a report:

    • create your report. Read more about this in the User's Manual;
    • close the report designer;
    • add a "Button" control on your form;
    • double-click it and write the following code in the button_Click event handler:
    report1.Show();
    
    • save the project and run it. When you click on a button you will see the prepared report.
