You can work with a data item by binding it to a data source component such as an
ObjectDataSource or a SqlDataSource.
The data source component connects to a
data source such as a database or middle-tier object to retrieve the data.
The data-bound item can then use this data. To perform the binding, you set the
data item's DataSource property to point to a
data source component. When a data-bound
item is bound to a data source component, little or no additional code is required for data
operations, because the data-bound item can automatically take advantage of the
data services provided by the data source component.
 Note | |
For backwards compatibility reasons Telerik Reporting supports binding directly to IEnumberable/IListSource objects (incl. arrays, collections, DataSet, DataTable, DataView, and DbDataAdapter). Instead consider using the ObjectDataSource that can handle these types of data sources.
