The document provides steps for creating a report in VB.NET using a report (RDLC) and binding it to a database table. It involves creating two forms, adding a report to one form, designing the report layout with elements like page headers and footers, binding the report to a database table, and previewing the report in the second form.

2. Step 1: create two forms as form1 and form2 and create database, databaset and one
table name as “student”
Step 2: In the form1  Project  add new item  report change name of the report
(for example “student.rdlc”)
Step 3: Now in the form1 report information appear right click the report
information  Insert  page header
Step 4viewtool box drag Text box and place ittype “Student
information”right click text box properties  change font, color, size, font style
Step 5: toolbox  text box (in the page header) place the mouse in the middle of the
text box and right click it  expression built-in-function page number double click
Step 6: in the page footer toolbox text box place the mouse in the middle of the
text box and right click it  expression common function  date or time
Step 7 : toolbox table control  name of the dataset1 (by default) data source
change it as (solution explorer .xsd name)  table name
