Chapter 2. Getting Started with the Tablix

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create our first report. We went through the different report development phases and introduced the report development tools.

This chapter is all about using the Tablix control when creating a layout for the report. It will start by explaining that the Tablix can be used as a List, Table, or Matrix, and then demonstrate the differences between them and when to use which. This chapter also covers different techniques on how to filter, sort, and group information in the report layout. The chapter also introduces some important textbox properties.
