The .flxr report definition file created by the designer needs to be made available to the application's runtime, so that it can be loaded into <a href="C1.WPF.FlexReport.4~C1.WPF.FlexReport.C1FlexReport.html">C1FlexReport</a>. Alternatively, the report definition can be created completely at runtime in code, using the rich object model of <a href="C1.WPF.FlexReport.4~C1.WPF.FlexReport.C1FlexReport.html">C1FlexReport</a>.</li> <li><strong>Providing data for the report</strong> - The report definition must be created keeping in mind the data sources available to the WPF version. At runtime, once the report definition has been loaded into <a href="C1.WPF.FlexReport.4~C1.WPF.FlexReport.C1FlexReport.html">C1FlexReport</a>, the data must be accessible so the report can be generated. For information about the available data sources, see <a href="DataSourcesinFlexReport.html">Data Sources in FlexReport</a>.</li> <li><strong>Rendering the report</strong> - Reports can be rendered directly to a printer, into <strong>FlexViewerPane</strong>, or exported to different formats.</li> </ol> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="C1FlexReportandC1Document.html">C1FlexReport and C1Document </a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="DataBindinginFlexReport.html">Data Binding in FlexReport</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="DataSourcesinFlexReport.html">Data Sources in FlexReport</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="DevelopingFlexReportforDesktop.html">Developing FlexReport for Desktop</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="AddingParameters.html">Adding Parameters</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Grouping.html">Grouping Data</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="SortingDataSource.html">Sorting Data</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="FilteringData.html">Filtering Data</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="ExportingReportstoVariousFormats.html">Exporting Reports</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="PrintingFlexReport.html">Printing FlexReport</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="WorkingwithVBScript.html">Working with VBScript</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="SplittingFlexReportSections.html">Splitting FlexReport Sections</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="ModifyingtheFields.html">Modifying the Fields</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="AddingSub-sections.html">Adding Sub-sections</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
