The Subreport control is used to embed other reports into the current report.

To add this control to a report, drag the Subreport item from the Toolbox onto the report's area.

The Subreport control allows you to solve the following tasks:

•Reuse reports, if there is a particular report structure (template) that needs to be included in many reports; for instance, a report header that always contains the same information (the company information, logo, date, etc.).

•Create master-detail reports

•Merge reports

Use one of the following properties to provide the report source:

•Report Source

Determines a report to be included as a subreport.

If report classes of the application that invoked the Report Designer are compiled into one assembly, then they are available as items in this combo box.

•Report Source URL

Defines a URL of a report file (*.REPX), to use as a report source.

Double-click a subreport to open its associated report in a new Report Designer tab.
