I could not find an answer to this so opened a ticket and got a quick response, which I though I would post here for others...perhaps I am kind of dense, but the breaking changes in the new release confused the heck out of me...
Hi - I just updated to 6.1.12.611 reports release and all my reports broke. I cannot figure out how to change the following code in my report viewer in my web application to work with new release. There are no VB examples that I can find.
I want to simply change the datasource property of the report at runtime. I have a custom class in my web application that provides a datatable just by passing the sql. I could then set the newly created table as the datasource at runtime.
This used to work:
Dim report1 As New myReports.ProjectList
Dim tbl As DataTable = db.ExecuteDataTable("SELECT * FROM mydata WHERE ProgramID = " & nProgramID)
report1.DataSource = tbl
ReportViewer1.Report = report1
I am lost --
I got this far but cannot find a datasource property to set anywhere....:
Dim report1 As New Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource
report1.ReportDocument = New myReports.ProjectList
ReportViewer1.ReportSource = report1
Please help.
Thanks

Hello Ford,
The Report Sources are not report documents, they are the connection between multiple report documents or report documents and viewers, so I guess naming your InstanceReportSource with report1 is where the confusion comes from.
