ActiveReports allows much flexibility in binding reports to various kinds of data sources. In this section, you will learn how to use different methods to bind reports to data sources.
DAO and RDO data controls are no longer supported in ActiveReports for .NET. The ADO data control is converted to an ADO.NET data source. Data controls are removed and replaced with a report data source dialog accessible from the data source icon on the detail section of the report.
