Binding a table to a List property of the current DataSource

[Julien]

Hi,

I'm beginning with the reporting with telerik, and I'm trying to create a report which is in facts a confirmation letter for activities on which the user has registred.

My data are only in memory, so I cannot use any SQL datasource, ...

So for now I create a reportViewer, I set the "Report" item to my ConfirmationLetter(and set the DataSource of my ConfirmationLetter to the "Participant" object.

I've no problem displaying some fields like firstname/lastname/... but I cannot figure out how to bind the table with one of my properties?

My Participant object has a "Activities" List, and I want to set that my table has to use this Activities List as datasource.

But when I go in the "DataSource" property of my table, I can only set a datasource which has be defined(here I've only the ParticipantDataSource), not any subproperty.

So how can I do this?

Thank you

Hello Julien,

In order to use nested data collections our suggestion is to nest data items (SubReports, Table, List, Crosstab, Chart) and set the data items' DataSource property with binding to the field representing the complex type (Activities). This way the nested collection is accessible as normal field. Generally the easiest approach is to use List/Table item because you don't have to create additional report for every data level. Please review the following forum thread that elaborates on your inquiry: Data Source Business Objects.
