StrataFrame and DevEx Reports/Printing

I'm trying to implement some new reports/printing classes for our .NET app.  We're using StrataFrame and DevExpress so is there anyway to integrate XtraReports or XtraPrinting easily with SF Business Objects?

XtraReports supports the use of ADO.NET.  This will be the approach you will need to take using the CurrentDataTable, CurrentView, etc from the business object once it is populated.  There is some logic within the business objects that expose the strong-typed properties so it can be referenced directly. 

This question can lead to many more questions since you are basically asking how to do reporting with StrataFrame and XtraReports.  The simplest answer, for now anyway, is what I mentioned above by using the ADO.NET exposed properties of a business object.

Thanks Ben, that's good enough for me.  I wasn't looking for a tutorial, was really just wondering if there was anything implemented that made it easier to use the XtraReports with SF.  I think the Business Objects are going to help a lot though.
