I know this topic has been covered; there are articles out there, trust me I have found them all. However, I am still having difficultly applying them to my project. I was wondering if anyone can give me some guidance or point me to an applicable link.

I am using VS2008 to take advantage of the crystal report capabilities to export to work. I have used the reportviewer before to create a report, and it is great it automatically binds the data when you choose a report off the report viewer properties, my data populates, everything is wonderful.

I have created my Crystalreport added the appropriate fields from my database connection using the DatabaseExpert --> ADO.NET DataSets --> then selecting my DataSet. It shows the dummy data back on my Form where the CrystalReportViewer is placed. When I run it I know it will show no data because there is no connection for the data to populate on the form, I am not binding it. How do I go about this, what code should I use on the Form load event? Or is this even the correct way to go about this?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
