I have imported a dataset.

    ' Creating and configuring the ObjectDataSource component:
            Dim objectDataSource As New Telerik.Reporting.ObjectDataSource()
            objectDataSource.DataSource = GetData() ' GetData returns a DataTable

I have already drawn up a report with the appropriate dataset.

  Dim clientReportSource As New Telerik.ReportViewer.Html5.WebForms.ReportSource
            clientReportSource.IdentifierType = Telerik.ReportViewer.Html5.WebForms.IdentifierType.TypeReportSource
            clientReportSource.Identifier = "report2.trdp"

 

   reportViewer1.ReportSource = clientReportSource

 

I do not know how to connect the dataset I imported to the report source.

-------------------

Fix my source  Thanks ^^;

-------------------

What I want is simple

1. Create the dataset I want.
2. Draw a report that has a field in the dataset.
3. Display it.


I finished 1 GetData()  , I finished 2. ( "report2.trdp" ) 

Now you need to concatenate and display the data as in # 3.
But I did not solve it.

Hello sung yeol,

The whole Telerik.ReportViewer.Html5.WebForms namespace is responsible for the report viewer and happens on the client side.

The whole Telerik.Reporting.ObjectDataSource class which is responsible for data retrieval happens on the server side.

This is why you are unable to pass this data to the report, as the data might not even be serializable.

The recommended practice to control the data passed to the report is by configuring the ObjectDataSource at design-time of the report (using a report designer tool) and controlling it at run-time by passing values to its report parameters.

However, if you would still like to do all of the work programmatically, you can create the data set and pass it to a report object inside a custom report resolver. Note that the custom report resolver should return a report source, which in your case should be an InstanceReportSource as you are using and modifying a report object instance.
