We have a VB.Net class in our application that takes info from the database and then performs several calculations on that data and displays it to the user on the screen.

We have a requirement to then print all that information into a Crystal Report and since we'll still have that whole object with all it's data in Session, we want to be able to just pass all the data as xml to a CE report.

The closest I've found is to compile a DLL that connects to the database and pupolates an xml dataset to use with a report, which isn't what we need.

I've also heard from another developer that you can use a system DSN to access an xml file on the CE server, but then you need to upload the file to the server each time.

Is there any way to just pass all the session data as xml to a CE report, without having to create a file or database.
