Error-Not all code paths return a value

[Radhika]

Hello

I am working with Telerik reports in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Using the code in a Telerik Reporting Tutorial, I am trying to use a C# code the designer code to populate and assign a data source. Following is my code:

namespace ClassLibrary3
{
    using System;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using Telerik.Reporting;
    using Telerik.Reporting.Drawing;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Report5.
    /// </summary>
   

    public partial class Report5 : Telerik.Reporting.Report
    {
      public Product ProductList()   //The error here is' Not all code paths return a value'
        {
            //
            // Required for telerik Reporting designer support
            //
            InitializeComponent();
            List<Product> products = new List<Product>();
            products.Add(new Product("bicycle"));
            products.Add(new Product("helmet"));
            products.Add(new Product("shoes"));
// Assign the generic list as the report DataSource
            this.DataSource = products;
         

            //
            // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
            //
        }
    }
     public class Product
{
private string _name;
public Product(string name)
{
_name = name;
}
public string Name
{
get { return _name; }
    set { _name = value; }
}
}
}

Can someone please help me out? How do I get rid of this error message and preview the report?

Thanks,

Hi Radhika,

Find attached a working report with your code and let us know if further help is needed.

Thanks, Steve! It's working now.
Could you please tell me what was wrong with the previous code? Also, I just used the .cs code you gave me. Do I need to integrate the .Designer.cs code somewhere as well?

Regards

Hi Radhika,

I've used your data source for the sample report, so you can compare the differences to find the culprit. Just paste directly the 3 files to your report class library and after a rebuild of the project, it would be recognized from the VS designer as a report and you would be able to work with it via the report designer as well.
