VS2008

I am working on my senior project and I want to print report from some data entered by the user and from some calculation done by the program, so is there any way to print report with VS 2008 without using a database?

From my search I know that I can use Crystal Report or Report wizard, but I am confused and I don't know which to use and how?
Please explain for me simply the way of printing report by Visual Basic 2008 without connection with database.

If you have data, there is no need to connect to a database, all you need to do is provide the data to whatever reporting tool you are using.

OK, so you can assign a data source in code that is not a database.

*sigh* You're working on a senior project and you can't use google ? A report has a report source property, which can be set in code, and does not have to be tied to a database.

i do several search but can't find a clear tutorial that explain creating report without database.
Just yesterday i found a video which using datagridview and print report from that.So can i use the datagrideview tool to represent my data?

This is your senior project you said ? I have no more advice to give, I've clearly explained everything that can be said on this subject. Why don't you try something, if you think it will work, instead of posting here and waiting for us to tell you what to do ?
