    Create a Table Report with Dynamic Columns

    Design-Time

    • If you show data in a Data Grid, use a special generator class that converts the grid with all its settings into an XtraReport instance. This option is availabe for WinForms and WPF data grids.

    • If you use a table and you know what columns the report should contain, use the XRTable.ProcessHiddenCellMode property to hide columns.

    Runtime

    The main idea of the runtime approach is to define a Detail Band template. This band is repeated for each data source record. A control placed in a Detail Band (for instance, an XRTable) is repeated as well and creates a populated table in Print Preview. The table’s cells should be specified before the report document is generated.
