Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Tt>' to 'Telerik.Reporting.ReportSource'

Hi..

How do you set a subreports ReportSource to a List<>?

 public List<uspGet_POs_DETResult> po_det { set; get; }

 

 

this.subReportDetail.ReportSource = po_det;

Hi Jonathan,

Actually, the purpose of Report Sources are to access report definitions that can be stored in different locations and in different formats. This is achieved through the various report sources that the Reporting engine provides - Available Report Sources.

In case you need to bind the list to the the subreport, you can use an ObjectDataSource component.
I suggest to check our demo ListBoundReport that can be found in the ReportLibrary project->DataBinding folder of our examples that come with the installation of Telerik Reporting, i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Reporting <VERSION>\Examples\CSharp|VB).
Comprehensive examples are available also in the How to: Bind to a BusinessObject help article.
