How to add column to databand programatically

[theregister]

Say I have this:

Code: Select all

Dim myDataband As New StiDataBand()

But then I want to do something like this:

Code: Select all

Dim myColumn As New StiDataColumn
myDataband.Components.Add(myColumn)

But it says that 'Stimulsoft.Report.Dictionary.StiDataColumn' cannot be converted into 'Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiComponent'.
Then I tried to convert the column to a component but it didn't work:

Code: Select all

TryCast(Report.GetComponentByName(myColumn.Name), StiComponent)

It said the expression wasn't a method.

So how can a column be added to a databand via code?
