Let us create a report that displays information on Products that are 'Discontinued' in a Table data region. Since the value of 'Discontinued' is either True (1) or False (0), and a CheckBox control takes the Boolean value, we will use it to show the 'Tick' marks corresponding to the 'True' values. The report connects to the 'Products_header_tab.csv' data source available on GitHub.
The final report will look as shown.

Create a Report
In the ActiveReports Designer, create a new Page or an RDLX report.
If you are creating a new report in the Visual Studio Integrated Designer, see
Quick Start.
Bind Report to Data
As you create a new report, you can configure the report data connection in the Report Wizard. You can also access tht Report Data Source dialog by right-clicking the Data Sources node in the Report Explorer and then selecting the Add Data Source option. See CSV for details.
- On the Choose Data Source Type screen of the wizard, select CSV and click Next.
- To specify the File Path, click the Browse button and navigate to the desired folder on your system. For example, you can connect to the Products_header_tab.csv sample data source which can be downloaded from GitHub.
- Select the Column Delimiter as 'Tab'.
- Then click Next to check the Fields section, which includes field names with their corresponding data types present in the CSV file.
- Click Finish to successfully add the report with the CSV data source.
See CSV Provider for more information on building SQL queries.
Design Report Layout
- Drag and drop Table data region onto the design area of the Report Designer.
- In the cells of the details row, drag-drop the [ProductName], [UnitPrice], and [ProductID]fields.
- Add another column to the right of the [ProductID] column.
- Drag-drop the CheckBox control onto the empty textbox in the details row of the added column.
- With CheckBox selected, set the Checked property to the expression:
=ToBoolean(ToInt32(Fields!Discontinued.Value)).
Note that since we used the CSV data, the field [Discontinued]needs to be converted to boolean.
