Hi, since I buyed VS2013 (former I was using VB 2013 Express) because of the reporting class in the Pro Edition I'm trying to find a way through the not existing documentation.
My Question: Is the Reportdesigner the right tool for me and when yes how can I accomplish a "raw" Report for the following description.

Acctually I connect to a IBM DB2 for System i Database with the appropiate Connection, next I create in the Programm an SQL String according the Userinputs of a form. The Data I get back from the System i will be saved as a datatable within a dataset.
All this the Connection, DataSet and DataTable is created at runtime and not predefined in the Porject. At least the DataSet/DataTable will be the DataSource of an Excelfile.
This all works fine.

So now I'm in the need to produce a well designed Report from this dataset/table.
All I have found about the Reportdesigner requires a predefined dataset object in my Project what I do not have because of what I described above.
Is there a way to design a Report from the scratch an bind the dataset and datatable at runntime?

Thanx 4 Help!
