Hi,
Suppose I have a report made up of several subreports. A number of these subreports need to use the same piece of data queried from a database. Is it possible to only query the data once (i.e. in the master report) and then access it within each subreport as opposed to each subreport having to retrieve the data itself?
Thanks

Hello ada,
As you actually bind a report to a data set you can fill it (the data set) once, and then use it for all nested reports. You can examine the MasterDetail example in our sample project library that demonstrates a hierarchy of 3 nested reports. Both ProductSubCategory and ProductCategory reports contain SubReport items and handle their NeedDataSource events to connect the nested reports to a data source. You can handle the SubReport.NeedDataSource event in the topmost (master) report and retrieve the data only once.
Kind regards,
