In ActiveReports Web Designer, we have a set of controls that enable us to build reports using simple drag and drop operation. The reports controls may be unbound like Label, Line, Shape, and Container that do not need data source to show data, or bound like Table, Tablix, Chart, etc. that need data source to show data.
