## Content



You can use one of the following ways to bind a section report to data at run time:

*   You can bind a section report to a data source.
*   You can bind your section report to a dataset and unbound data.

A Section report also allows to locate data in scripts and can help locate credentials for some built-in data sources.

The [LocateCredentials](/activereportsnet/api/v19.2/MESCIUS.ActiveReports/GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument.html#LOCATECREDENTIALS) event can work with the following data source types:

*   [SQL](/activereportsnet/api/v19.2/MESCIUS.ActiveReports/GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.SqlDBDataSource.html)
*   [OleDB](/activereportsnet/api/v19.2/MESCIUS.ActiveReports/GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource.html)
*   [ODBC](/activereportsnet/api/v19.2/MESCIUS.ActiveReports/GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OdbcDataSource.html)
