Creating a report using EntityDiagrams and LINQ

[Richard M]

I would like to create a report using a specific LINQ query with a where clause.  I cannot figure out how to bind my Report1 to that LINQ query.  Is it after the InitializeComponent(); in the code-behind page?  Or is it in its own function?  After I bind that, how do I bind controls, such as a textbox, to that function in the designer page?  Do you have a sample project that I can use as an example?

Hi Richard M,

The EntityDataSource component enables data items to connect to an ADO.NET Entity Data Model. This allows seamless integration of Telerik Reporting with applications or web sites that utilize the ADO.NET Entity Framework.

In order to use a LINQ query with where clause, our suggestion is to use a method, because it is possible to execute some custom business logic when retrieving data for the report. If the specified method has arguments, the EntityDataSource component allows you to pass parameters to those arguments via the Parameters collection.

For more details and code snippets check out the Connecting to an Entity Data Model with the EntityDataSource component help article.

All the best,
Peter
the Telerik team

Thanks, I will try that.
