The RDC now enables you to create report templates based on unbound field objects. Then, using minimal code, you can bind those field objects to a data source (or one of several data sources) at runtime. The Report Engine uses the data type and the Name property of the unbound field object to match it with a data field in the recordset.
This technology replaces the need for data definition files. Data definition files are still supported in the Report Designer Component however. For additional information on using Unbound Fields, see Using fields that bind to data sources only at runtime or the Unbound fields and Pro Athlete Salaries sample applications found in the C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\Samples\En\Code\Visual Basic folder.
