Dynamically creating reports with an xml file and a dataset??

Question

Post Author: Xaisoft
CA Forum: .NET
I have an xml file I created called ReportFields.xml which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ReportFields>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</ReportFields>
I then create a blank crystal report and go into the Database Expert and choose ADO.NET DataSets, I browse to the xml file I just created, in this case ReportFields and give it a Class Name of ReportFields.  Now under Database Fields, I have a ReportFields table with the following columns:
AccountNumber, FirstName, and LastName.
I drag AccountNumber onto the Details section of the report.  I have a stored procedure I created called GetAccts which basically has the following syntax:
select top 50 a.Account_Number from tbAccounts.
Depending on which client database this is run against, it will obviously return different results.  I am using the Microsoft Application Data Access Block from Enterprise Library 3.1 to Return a DataSet.  Once I get the DataSet which would only have 1 table with 1 column (Account Numbers), how can I bind the AccountNumber field on the report to what is returned in the DataSet?
Thanks Very Much in Advance,

OK, i figured this much out:
Dim ds As New DataSet
        Dim myXmlReader As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("C:\SystemSetup.xml")
        ds.ReadXml(myXmlReader, XmlReadMode.InferTypedSchema)
        mydatatable = ds.Tables(0)
