Reporting for WinForms - Master-Detail Report Created in Code (obsolete)

This example shows how to create a master-detail report in code.

Note This example uses the ADO.NET library with a Microsoft Access database and legacy Data Bindings.

The following steps are essential to create a report layout:

1. Create a report instance and bind it to data.
2. Add report bands to the report.
3. Add report controls to the created bands and create data bindings.

After the report layout is complete, generate the report document and display it in the Print Preview dialog window.
