Use the DataSource icon to bind your report to a data source at design time.

When you click the icon, the Report Data Source window appears. You can connect the report to OLE DB, SQL, or XML data, and supply a query to retrieve the data you want. You can also add parameters to the report by using parameter syntax in the SQL query. For more information, see Add Parameters.

Select the OLE DB, SQL, or XML tab to see the options you have for each type of data source. For more information, see Bind Reports to a Data Source.
