Accessing to data returning public methods for previous defined classes

[M]

 

I am using q2 2011 telerik reporting for silverlight apps.
in access to data by object data source I can only access to properties of my main class(that defined by set and get) and I can not access to other public methos, why?I have a created class with some public method(c#) and no any property(set get ...) , when I connect to the "list" type class of this class I can not see the public methods but if I create a property(by set and get) I can see that properties! .Is any way for accessing to public methods? Thanks.

Hello,

The ObjectDataSource Component works with objects and when you create it, you are asked where it will get the data from. You set it to point to a method, a property or a class. Afterwards when working with this ObjectDataSource, it only shows public properties because the methods are not part of an object.
If your methods retrieve objects that you want to use in the report, you can create User Functions that get these objects by a parameter for e.g and use them in the expression. Then instead of defining the value of the component like =Fields.FieldName it would be = MyUserFunction(Fields.ID).
