What's the lightest method to pass data into a Crystal Report in an ASP.NET site? I've pushed custom collections and datasets. I have a advanced custom collection and I really need to only pass in two fields.

Have you tried a fairly lightweight XML doc? Crystal Reports can pull data from pretty much anything

I don't need to make an actual XML file, do I? Can I just manually build the XML and pass it into the report? Would I just pass an XmlDocument object as the DataSource?

I believe so, in the same way you could push the dataset across.
