Can I drive a Crystal Report in a standalone application with .NET objects?

I'm trying to learn Crystal Reports (VS 2005, VB) and per this question I was trying to drive the report with my own data objects instead of through a DB connection.

I found this tutorial and it looked promising as an answer to my question, but after diving in it only seems to apply to web development.

Am I out of luck in trying to power a Crystal Report with .NET objects in a standalone application?

+1  A: 

Based on this step, I think the report might have to be a strongly typed report. Where did it indicate it was only for the web?

In the previous section, "Creating the Stock Class," the last step said, "From the Build menu, click Build Website."

The example seems to be for a web site, but what's stopping you from trying it with your class? Is the option not available when adding a crystal report to a non-web application?

Hmmm ... it works for standalone projects too. Thanks.
