Add table data programatically

[Ben Foster]

Hi there,

I am currently learning to use Telerik reporting, and am stuck on something that should be simple, but I just can't figure it out !!

I have added a table to the designer view of my report.

In the "MyReport_NeedDataSource" method I simply want to add data to this table.

I don't want to bind the table to an SQL data source, I simply want to add the values programatically, row by row.

The table is already five columns wide, so I would like something like:

        table1.rows.add(new tablerow("value1", "value2", "value3", "value4", "value5");

        or even something like:

        table1.rows[0].cells[0] = "value1";
        table1.rows[0].cells[1] = "value2";
        table1.rows[0].cells[2] = "value3";
        table1.rows[0].cells[3] = "value4";
        table1.rows[0].cells[4] = "value5";

I'm sure there must be a way to do something like this. Please advise when able.

Kind regards, Ben.

Hello Ben,

The Table/Crosstab report item is not a mere grid of cells and has a very complex internal structure. The Report Designer does a great deal of work to simplify common tasks, but the underlying code is far from trivial. The easiest way to see the internal table structure is to create a table in the designer with the hardcoded values you would like (see screenshot) and then go into the InitializeComponent() method to see the code behind it.

Best wishes,
