MY
Question
Can the End-User report designer be customized?

Answer
It is possible to create a custom End-User Report Designer. You should do the following:
A) Create a descendant from the XRDesignForm class and customize it according to your requirements.
B) Use the following code to open the designer:

MyDesignForm designer = new MyDesignForm();
designer.OpenReport(myReport);
designer.Show():


This is the answer i get corresonded to the question i've asked. I've tried it but still it doesnt seems
to work. Can anyone teach what should i do base on the code given above .? How do i create
a descendant from the XDesignForm Class ? I cant find the XDesignForm class tho. Is the class is already
in embeded in the C# language ? Or do i need to create my own ?

Hope someone can help as im just a newbie programmer. Thanks in advance .
 
Alrite previous problem is solved. Now one more question. Can i have two tables
dataset in one designed-report? Cos sometimes one report can link to several table field in the database.
Alrite i know this can be done by joining the both table and make it as one dataset. But what if i want 2
seperate dataset appear in one designed-report instead of only one(join) ? This is to make the user have better
understanding which field is belong to which dataset when they design their report. Can it be done ? if yes then
how ? Hope u can help thanks.
