Hi,
I am begginner with Telerik Reporting,(and with .Net too) and I try to bind my report, not to a database , but to a class that I have created (the structure of the database is not specified , and the only method to access it is a specific API) , so I added my class(dll), to the references and to the data sources , but my class doen't appear in the telerik data explorer...??? is it because it's not possible to bind a telerik report to other thing except a database ,if no how can I do it .
Thanks in advance

Hi bigbang,
In order to use the Data Explorer tool window in design time you need to have the Report.DataSource property set to a valid (from the Visual Studio designer environment point of view) object. This means that you have to instantiate your datasource object and assign the instance to the Report.DataSource and this should appear in InitializeComponent() method as this is the only method that does matter in design time.
The best way to achieve this is to use the Data Source wizard that allows you to connect to a database or a business object that is exactly your case.
