Hi
I'm going backwards and forwards with this, and I'm not even sure what I need to search for.
Following Best practice I have my report data in a separate class., but I'm trying to use the standalone report designer.
How do I connect my existing data in these classes to the stand alone report.

Check out my post here:
DataSource Binding Order of Operations?
You need to deserialize the *.trdx from xml into a report instance and then you can successfully change the datasource.

Hi Andy,
Do you want to use the ObjectDataSource component to connect to your data layer? If this is the case check out the Extending Report Designer help article that elaborates on the topic.

Thanks Guys, I'll go through the links provided.
Like I say I don't know what I need to search for. I have a separate VB class in my project and its these classes I want to use in the Standalone designer. If using the VB designer I sort of know what I'm doing. Just can't see how to join it all up with the trdx file.

Hi Andy,
You have to build the project that contains your data layer and place the resulted assembly next to the Telerik.ReportDesigner.exe. Than you have setup the Telerik.ReportDesigner.config with the required configuration. For more information see the How to use external assemblies with custom CLR objects in the Report Designer KB article.

Thanks Peter, but I have given up on this.
I'm happy with the VS report designer and how to get it to work. For my current needs I cant't see any advantage in using the Standalone designer and I can't seem to get it working how I need.
Thanks for your help, I might come back to it later.
