VS2008 Reports

Need assistance writing my first report in VS2008 (VB.Net) Winforms.
Am new to this environment and don't know how to begin creating a report.

I have a database and am using SQLServer2012 and there are no compatible drivers for SqlServer2012 available for VS2008 to my knowledge so I can't use the ReportViewer Wizards to access my database.

Code below is what I'm using to create a DataTable.  "MyData"

I would like to get a report showing the 5 columns for each row.

Any help would be appreciated - Got to learn this stuff!

Tools I have are whatever comes with VS2008 MsReportViewer, CrystalReportViewer, CrystalReportDocument.
