Reporting From the DataSet, DataTable, DataView and XML

For purposes of simplifying this discussion, when referring to the any of the above data types, I’ll refer to them as only a dataset object. When there are any differences, I’ll make a note of it.

There are three steps for reporting from a dataset. The first step consists of creating a dataset and specifying it as the report’s data source. Then design the report using the fields from this dataset. The last step is passing the dataset to the report.
