What is the primary difference between using a row[] and a dataSetRow[].
In looking around the web site and the two BIRT books, I have a vague
understanding of the difference; but can't seem to put my finger on a
concise definition.

For example, both can be used in a Table (row can be used as long as it
has be bound in the table binding tab?).

Also, row is used in the Data Source computed columns expression (at least
according to the book).

Thanks,
Chris....

Chris,

row is used for bound columns as defined in the container, for example
look at the bound columns in the binding tab of the table. dataSetRow
is used when referring to the dataset. When you use dataSetRow in an
expression a bound column is created. In the scripted data set row is
used and is somewhat confusing, but this was in place before we started
using the binding editor.
