Using Crystal Report with Database connection

Currently we have are creating crystal report using a database to derive the data required for the report. Is there a way to create a crystal report without using the database. I know that we can define tags in the report template that can be initilized via Crystal report APIs without using the database, but I have a report that has a list of items and I need to populate it with rows of data without having to write the data to the database first.

I would like to somehow create the report template to accept a list of items? Is this possible? if so, how and may an example.

thanks in advance.

What is the source of this data? What format is it in?

I have a list of structs with attriubtes of type ints and strings

for ex:

struct employee
int empId;
int ss;
string name;
stirng address

I want to create a report with list of employee info
