How to Bind a Report to a SQL Database
Use the Report Wizard or the Data Source Wizard to bind a report to data at design time. Review the following help topics for details:
- Bind a Report to a Database
- Bind a Report to a Data Source Schema
- Bind a Report to a Stored Procedure
Use the SqlDataSource class to bind a report to an SQL database at runtime. Review the following help topics for code examples:
- Bind a Report to an MDB Database (Runtime Sample)
- Bind a Report to a Microsoft SQL Server Database at Runtime
- Register a Custom Schema Provider for a Synonym Database
Use query parameters to filter data or pass values to a stored procedure. Review the following help topic for more information: Use Query Parameters.
Note
Use the Rebuild Result Schema command or call the SqlDataSource.RebuildResultSchema method on any changes in the connection, queries, or database structure. The RebuildResultSchema method applies changes to the data source, and refreshes fields available for report bindings and fields displayed in the field list.
