Does the data for the report have to come from a SQL Server database?
No. Data can come from any source. It is the host application’s responsibility to collect data from whatever source it needs to come from, and supply it to the control in the form of ADO.NET DataTables or a collection of business objects. The ReportViewer control does not know or care where the data is coming from.
