Although Data Dynamics Reports provides compiled Viewer and Designer applications that you can use independently, you may want to add components to projects in Visual Studio. To use the Data Dynamics Reports components in your Visual Studio projects, you must add them to the toolbox. The components and their functions are listed below.
 |
Note: All of the components in the Web namespace are available only in Web projects and appear disabled in the Visual Studio toolbox in Windows Application projects.
