Confused on Adding parameter for Object Datasource to connect to a webservice

[danparker276]

I've looked around on the docs and threads, but I can't seem to figure out the best way to get data from a WCF webservice with parameters.  Of note, I'm using silverlight and can't bind my data to the report.

I create a Objectdatasource and it maps my return object ok when I add a service reference.  But I don't see how to add parameters to my  WCF webservice?

The examples I've seen only show web services with no parameters.

Do I need to do a binding for the datasource and then call my webservice in that?
        public static ObjectDataSource ChangeConnectionString(object reportItem)
        {
            var report = (reportItem as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Report);
            var dataSource = (Telerik.Reporting.ObjectDataSource)report.DataSource;
MyService.MyClient client = ...
client.GetMyData(str1,str1);
//How do I bind it to my datasource?
return datasource;???


Or do I add parameters like this:

objectDataSource.Parameters.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.ObjectDataSourceParameter("productModelID", typeof(int), 23));

Are the parameters in quotes supposed to match the parmeters of the webservice?

Hi Dan,

Since you are using Silverlight, the report's data-source cannot be set from outside and the only way is to consume the service from the report itself. Create an ObjectDataSource which will consume the service. The ObjectDataSource will have the same parameters as the data-retrieval method of the service. 
This article shows how to pass parameters when using Silverlight report viewer. 
You can find attached an example showing how to consume WCF service with parameters in Silverlight.
