using reportcontrol to store document data?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Me again, this time with a general question using reportcontrol.
The software I am developping has a report control view; 
the report control provide a list of all the data from the document, each entry being composed of several fields, displayed in the reportcontrol.

In the previous version of my software, I was using a class to handle all entries & data, which were then displayed in a listview.

Question is: 

shoud I still do the same, that is use a CArray of items to store my data, and add them to the reportcontrol for displaying only;
OR
directly add data to the reportcontrol (using the same method as the "Report Sample") and do not manage any class/items outside

Any advice ?? That will really drive the internal structure of my software and the answer is crucial ;)

	I think that better to use your own data model and bind report control to it or use virtual mode and supply needed pieces of data from your model on demand
