'Declaration
 
Public Property SQL As String

public string SQL {get; set;}

The SQL string may contain parameter placeholder syntax to fill the report's parameters collection and prompt the user to enter their values before executing the report.

Example

private void detail_Format(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{    
    rptSub rpt = new rptSubBM();    
    DataDynamics.ActiveReports.DataSources.OleDBDataSource subDS = new DataDynamics.        
        ActiveReports.DataSources.OleDBDataSource();    
    subDS.ConnectionString = this.ds.ConnectionString;    
    subDS.SQL = "Select * from products where categoryID = " + m_categoryID;    
    rpt.DataSource = subDS;    
    ctlSubReport.Report = rpt;
}
