Can DataReaders be used for data sources instead of DataSets

I usually prefer to use datasets for many items of data, since they have certain advantages over DataReaders. However, under certain circumstances (very large reports, etc.) speed may be more of an issue than ease of use. For this purpose I have found DataReaders to be superior to datasets.

Is it possible to use DataReaders for the data source for a report? How would one proceed to make this happen?

We sorry but you can't use DataReader as DataSource.
Thanks!

Is it something that could possibly be taken into consideration for future enhancement? Or is there architectural underpinnings that would not allow for it?

StimulReport.Net have some restriction for supporting DataReaders. In next version we can't add this functionality.
Thanks.
