How to bind Sub Report to Main Report's Data

Environment

Product Progress® Telerik® Reporting
Report Item SubReport

Description

Telerik Reporting Expression engine allows you to reuse the data of a parent scope. This includes binding a subreport to the main report's data.

This article provides the required steps for binding the SubReport to the Main Report's Data.

Solution

Property path: DataSource
Expression: =ReportItem.DataObject

When the subreport is loaded by a SubReport item in the main report, the sub report will get the data associated with the SubReport item.

  • You can change the scope to a greater parent by using the Parent keyword. For example:
Property path: DataSource
Expression: =ReportItem.Parent.Parent.DataObject

Notes

In case you need to display data in a tabular format, another approach for organizing the main report's layout can be found in How to Databind to Collection Properties.
