This application shows you how to create a report template using the new Unbound Fields capability. It also shows you how to bind the fields at runtime to a data source that you also create at runtime.
In this sample, there are five unbound fields created in the report. Notice that there is no data source added to the report at design time at allthe data source is created and added to the report at runtime.
You can also use Unbound fields in formulas, although this sample does not demonstrate this use.
Unbound fields give you great flexibility in your programming. They even allow you to create a single report template that can be bound to a variety of data sources at runtime in response to user input. This enables you to create a wide range of custom reports all from a single template. See the Pro Athlete Salaries application for a demonstration of this capability.
