The Data Explorer provides an overview of the database fields that
are available to your report and the calculated fields you have created.
It is available whenever you have a report open in design view.
To display the Data Explorer, select Data Explorer from the
Telerik Reporting menu.
The Data Explorer window lists the data source columns and calculated fields defined for your report.
Drag column names from the Data Explorer to the report design surface to create new data bound
report items.
The report designer automatically creates appropriate report items for data source columns based on the column data type, e.g.
if the column has character data a TextBox
report item will be created, if the column has image data then a
PictureBox report item will be created.

The Data Explorer would be populated only when there is DataSource set in design time
through the report's DataSource property. |
The Data Explorer Toolbar contains two buttons - Edit Calculated Fields and Refresh.
Clicking on the Edit Calculated Fields button would show the Edit Calculated Fields dialog
which allows you to Add or Delete new Calculated Fields. Please see
Calculated Fields topic for more information
