NOTE: Starting with version 13.2, XAF provides the capability to display reports created at design time out-of-the-box. Please refer to the Reports V2 Module topic for additional information.
This example demonstrates how to create reports in Visual Studio at design time without using our report modules (see WinForms Reports Lessons) and show them via XAF actions.
Take special note of the implementation of the ShowReportWithParameters action. It uses a custom ReportParameters object to filter the report data source. You can use this approach instead of standard XtraReport parameters to display a complex parameters object in the XAF Detail View and get benefits of XAF features (validation, conditional appearance, customizable layout, etc.).
