why no fields available?

[Adam]

I have a report bound to an ObjectDataSource, which is bound to a strongly-typed table adapter as suggested by "choose business object" dialog. (When I choose "data components only," the dialog suggests my table adapter--which makes sense.) The table adapter works--I see the data I expect when previewing the data in the DataSet designer.

But my report is not seeing the available fields. I drop a text box on the report, go to its Value property and invoke the builder. The Fields node is empty. This happened in both my old version 4.x of Telerik Reporting and also the latest trial version I downloaded just now to see if it worked better.

Am I missing something? I have done this successfully in the past with a SqlDataSource--that is get the fields come up to select. But the ObjectDataSource is not showing me any fields, so I'm stumped.

btw, I tried adapter queries both with and without parameters. I was thinking maybe that a parameter was not being supplied that prevented the field list from being resolved, but a parameterless query didn't help.

hold the phone -- I figured it out. Although I created the ODS correctly, I didn't actually assign it to the Report's DataSource property. After doing that, it worked as expected.

Hi,
I found the solution.
If anyone dose not get the fields in objectdatasource in expression.
Then go to Visual Studio menu Telerik -> Report -> Data Explorer and you can get the all fields.
After that you get all the fields in expression window fields node.

Thanks
