A dashboard can be built entirely in code — table elements, dimension columns and filters — without a designed template.

Register data and add elements.
var report = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();
var dashboard = report.Pages[0] as StiDashboard;

var data = new DataSet();
data.ReadXml("Data/Demo.xml");
report.RegData(data);
report.Dictionary.Synchronize();

var table = new StiTableElement { Left = 0, Top = 0, Width = 700, Height = 500, Name = "Example" };
table.Columns.Add(new StiDimensionColumn { Expression = "Products.ProductName" });
table.Columns.Add(new StiDimensionColumn { Expression = "Products.UnitPrice" });
table.DataFilters.Add(new StiDataFilterRule {
    Condition = StiDataFilterCondition.BeginningWith, Path = "Products.ProductID", Value = "1" });

dashboard.Components.Add(table);

How it works. Building the element tree in code is equivalent to designing it visually, so the dashboard renders identically to a template-based one.
