Dynamic columns in C # rdlc report

Question

Suppose I have a report that lists employees (in rows) with the corresponding taxes (in columns). Possible new tax. Since my rdlc report file is currently designed (from an XML course) for statically creating columns. For future event changes, I will need to modify the rdlc file and add a new column. How can I do this dynamically? I intend not to open the rdlc file and add the XML code.

The best option is to just do it manually, as it does not seem to happen often. Especially if you use the RDLC editor in VS2008.

You can use the Matrix control instead of the Table control. The matrix will - based on the grouping - generate the corresponding columns and rows. You will have to change your request and it will be a little slower.

You can use a Table or List control with parametrically hidden columns.

You can automatically change the XML report report depending on how many columns you need. Since RDLC is an xml file, this is trivial.
