ActiveReports creates a DataReader and uses it to load the data into the report.

The SQL string may contain parameter placeholder syntax to fill the report's parameters collection and prompt the user to enter their values before executing the report.

C#Copy Code
private void detail1_Format(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{    
    rptSubBM rpt = new rptSubBM();    
    GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource subDS = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource();    
    subDS.ConnectionString = this.ds.ConnectionString;    
    subDS.SQL = "Select * from products where categoryID = " + m_categoryID;    
    rpt.DataSource = subDS;    
    ctlSubReport.Report = rpt;
}
