Passing values to variables. After loading and compiling the report, assign values through the report indexer using the variable names defined in the template:
var report = new StiReport();
report.Load(@"..\Variables.mrt");
report.Compile();

report["Surname"] = textBoxSurname.Text;
report["Email"] = textBoxEmail.Text;
report.Show();report["Name"]) reads and writes report variables by name. Because values are assigned after Compile() and before rendering, the report is generated with exactly the data your application supplies.
