Hi Michel,

Binding a report to a generic list is straightforward - simply pass the list to the report's DataSource property like this:

    class Report1 : Telerik.Reporting.Report
    {
        TextBox textBox1;
        DetailSection detail;

        public Report1()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();

            List<string> list = new List<string>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                list.Add("Item #" + i);
            }

            this.DataSource = list;
        }

        void InitializeComponent()
        {
            ...
            this.textBox1.Value = "=Item";
            ...
        }
    }

You can check out the ListBoundReport (either in C# or VB.NET) example where the report is bound to a list of custom objects.
