This section contains tutorials that explain how to create different reports.

#Basic Reports

#Reports with Hierarchical Data

#Master-Detail Reports

You can create a master-detail report using subreports without writing code. For this, configure a subreport to load child data from its own data source and filter the loaded data by master key. For more information, review the following help topic: Create a Master-Detail Report with a Subreport in the VS Report Designer.

If a master-child record relationship is already defined in the master report, you can use DetailReportBand. In this case, child records are assigned to the Detail Report band automatically. For more information, review the following help topic: Create a Master-Detail Report with a Detail Report Band in the VS Report Designer.
