  Hello,
  
  If your datasource comes from an application, it is better to register it in a report using the report.RegisterData(...) call.

  Yes,I'm using report.RegisterData(...); But For this I must desing in project which dataset Register.My question is,I dont want to register any data in report.When I send a datasource to report,report designer recognize it automatically.And I only design which data can available.

  If you want to create a datasource in code:
  

    Report report = new Report();
    // load an existing report from a file
    report.Load("myreport.frx");
  
    // create the connection object
    MsAccessDataConnection conn = new MsAccessDataConnection();
    conn.Name = "Connection1";
    conn.DataSource = @"d:\crosstest.mdb";
    report.Dictionary.Connections.Add(conn);
  
    // create all connection tables and views
    conn.CreateAllTables();
    // enable the "cross" table
    report.GetDataSource("cross").Enabled = true;
  

  
  Is this what you need?

  Yep,but a problem about Datasets,
  
  My Query Code is ;
  

  SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString());
  con.Open();
  SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("MyQuery()", con);
  da.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
  da.Fill(ds, "Test");
  con.Close();
  

  
  Than For Report I'm using Your code example like that
  

  report1.Load(...);
  MsSqlDataConnection Reportconn = new MsSqlDataConnection();
  Reportconn.ConnectionString = ConnectionString;
  report1.Dictionary.Connections.Add(Reportconn);
  Reportconn.CreateAllTables();
  Reportconn.DataSet.Tables.Add("TableName");
  report1.RegisterData(ds.Tables[0], "Test");
  report1.Show();
  

  
  But Now,I can see Only one row in the report,problem is about databind,how can report recognize Databind name from code,and I can see all of rows.

  To create a report, use the following code:
  

  // fill the data table
  SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString());
  con.Open();
  SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("MyQuery()", con);
  da.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
  da.Fill(ds, "Test");
  con.Close();
  
  // register it in a report and run the report designer
  report1.RegisterData(ds.Tables[0], "Test");
  report1.Design();
  

  
  When you finish with the design, save report to a file. To run the report:
  

  // fill the data table
  SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString());
  con.Open();
  SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("MyQuery()", con);
  da.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
  da.Fill(ds, "Test");
  con.Close();
  
  // register the data in the same way as when you design a report
  report1.Load(...);
  report1.RegisterData(ds.Tables[0], "Test");
  report1.Show();

  Alex Thanks Man,and finally I want to ask last question,then I will shut up long long time:),For our project,I designed a report , than I will send it to database,if someone want new report or redesign about report,I send query to database and report is loaded from database by the stream,but when I change to report,how can update report and send it to database without reload the database like only save button,is there any probability for this ?

  Storing and loading a report to/from a DB is completely up to you [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> You may find the following demo useful (Demos\C#\CustomOpenSaveDialogs) if you store reports in DB.[/img]

  My Question is. How will be the datasource in designer file frx. It is giving me error on [Test.Name]. Test not foud. Please help. No proper documentation for fast reports.
