SetDataBinding(Object) Method

In This Topic

Sets the data source to use for the Print Method and Design Method. You can bind to any data for which a provider is available. See the combit.Reporting.DataProviders Namespace for an overview of available data providers. You may also write your own data provider and in this way bind to custom sources not covered yet. The most frequently used objects for data binding are

DataViewManager, DataSet, DataView, DataTable
SqlConnection
OracleConnection
OleDbConnection
XML (via the XmlDataProvider Class)
IEnumerable<T>, IList<T> (via the ObjectDataProvider Class)
