I'm sorry but that's not what we're after.

We really need a file based report design, and be able to load the design runtime.

Let's say that we have a reportviewer, and we choose to show a report on customer calls with some parameters (start date, end date, category)

Then we want to be able to do something like this:

Pseudo-code:

    
            Report report = new Report(); 
        
            report.Load(pathToReportDesign); // This should be loaded from a saved file (eg. C:\reports\callList.trp ) 
        
            report.Parameters.Add(typeof(DateTime), "startDate", myStartDate); 
        
            report.Parameters.Add(typeof(DateTime), "endDate", myEndDate); 
        
            report.Parameters.Add(typeof(int), "categoryID", myCategory); 
        
            report.Run(); // Executes the report with the specified parameters on the loaded report design-file.
