Hello,
I am new in telerik. I would like to figure data + collection in one Report from my Bussiness object.

for example (it is only example but it describes my situation):

I have this classes:

public class Thing
{
public string Name {get; set;}
public string Price {get; set;}
}

public class Person
{
public string Name {get; set;}
public string SurName{get; set;}
public List<Thing> Things{get; set;}
}

result should be something like this:
--------------------------
name + surname John Novak
things
Car $100
Toilet paper 42
Mask $20
--------------------------

My question is, how do I figure out information about one person and person's things at the one report. I investigated "Telerik reporting tep by step" guide, but it deals only with database.

I am creating PDF from my bussiness object and I really don't know how to bind subreport. I investigated that I can use subreports: Master report will show name + surname and subreport will show things.
Question is how to fill DataSource of subreport.

My method for creating report is :

var dp = new DataProvider();

var myReport = new Report1();

myReport.DataSource = dp;
//!!!! Is tehere way, how to say, that Report2 (which is subreport in Report 1) will be filled by dp.SomeCollection

string mimType = string.Empty;

string extension = string.Empty;

Encoding encoding = null;

byte[] buffer = Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor.Render(

"PDF", myReport, null, out mimType, out extension, out encoding);

FileStream fs = new FileStream("c:\\reportWithExternalDataSource.pdf", FileMode.Create);

fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

fs.Flush();

fs.Close();

I hope I described my problem. Can anybody help me please.

thanks
