List data regions
The definition of a List data region, which can be found in the SQL Server Books Online help, is specified as follows:
A list data region repeats with each group or row in the dataset. A list can be used for free-form reports or in conjunction with other data regions. Using Report Designer, you can define lists that contain any number of report items. A list can be nested within another list to provide multiple groupings of data.
Note
The SQL Server Books Online can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130214.aspx. It is the official documentation from Microsoft about SQL Server.
A list is a free form data region that can contain multiple items, freely arranged, and linked to a dataset. You can arrange report items to create a form, with text boxes, images and other data regions, placed anywhere within the list. A list is like a rectangle that repeats for each row in the dataset, since it's free-form.
Free form means that you have complete control or freedom...
