No Data When Silverlight OnNeedDataSource

[Brian]

Hi,

By setting the DataSource in my server-side Report constructor, I am able to retrieve the report in my Silverlight viewer.

In order to pass in parameters, I understand that I am supposed to set the DataSource to null in the constructor and override OnNeedDataSource. 

When I do this and set the DataSource in OnNeedDataSource, the report displays within the Silverlight client with no data at all.

        public OperatingIndicators()        // CTOR
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataSource = null;
        }
        protected override void OnNeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.DataSource = GoGetMyData();
        }

Using the debugger, I see that OnNeedDataSource is called and I can see that the parameters are passed in successfully and the DataSource is correctly loaded with data. 
 
I am using Telerik.Reporting.Service.ReportService, version 3.2.9.1211 on the server.
and Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight version 3.2.9.1211 on the client.

I have a similar problem.
I am trying to set the datasource programatically on the ItemDataBinding event which fires after the user selects the parameter from the UI component.

My new datasource query string is constructed to use the parameter selected.

When debugging the query string gets constructed correctly and I can bind the datasource to the report, but when the report loads it appears empty even though I can query the commandString in SQL management studio and get the results i need.

I am also using version 3.2.9.1211

Hi guys,

As the Adding a Data Source through NeedDataSource report event explains, the DataSource should be set to the Processing report object and not to the Definition object (i.e. this.DataSource).
