You can create and populate a DataSet object with VS.NET 2003 and use that as the datasource for your CR app. Be sure to save the DataSet's schema to a .XSD file and use that as the source for the report design. Whenever you modify the datasource structure, even in the most minute way, you have to generate a new .XSD and update CR with it. Otherwise you'll get Login errors.

Let me find my book....Here is the quick and dirty.

1) write the code to populate your dataset.
2) Add the ".WriteXMLSchema()" call so it saves the .XSD file
3) Comment out that line b/c you don't need it anymore unless you modify the sql query again in the future
4) Build a new report and use the XSD file as the data source.
5) Assign the dataset to the report by call ingReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataset)
6) assign your report to to the report viewer
