Dynamically add rows of data to a *.rpt file (C#)

Question

I am using vs2008 with CrystalReports and I'm wandering how can i dynamically add rows of data to a *.rpt file?(using c#).

In more detail i want to create a a function that populates a *.rpt file with data that might contain lists(for example "FirstName", "LastName", List<"Friend"> ;..Friend beeing an object that contains multiple fields like "FriendNr", "Address",....).

the code that i used so far is:

ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
string filename = filepath + "/myRpt.rpt";
rpt.Load(filename);            

rpt.SetParameterValue(0, myObject.FirstName);
rpt.SetParameterValue(1, myObject.LastName);

Inside the rpt file i have placed FieldObjects(Parameter Fields), and i populate the file with data by assigning the desired values to these objects (" rpt.SetParameterValue(0, myObject.FirstName);" )

Please help me find a way to populate the report with the rows of data contained in the List also.

Thanks a lot for your time.

I don't think it is possible to add data rows to a report this way. I suggest using a Typed DataSet as your report data source. The report can then display as many Friend objects as you require.
