        }
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            XtraReport report = CreateReport();
            ReportDesignTool designTool = new ReportDesignTool(report);
            designTool.ShowRibbonDesignerDialog();
        }

        private XtraReport CreateReport()
        {
            XtraReport report = new XtraReport();
            report.DataSourceSchema = "schema.xsd";
            report.DataSource = new nWindDataSet();
