ObjectDataSource and Lists in Subreport

[Emil Einarsson]

Hello.

Lets say you have a report for an Invoice.

You programmatically instantiate the report and set its Datasource to a Invoice object.

The invoice has properties like number, adress, whatever. But it also has a list of InvoiceLines.

Can the "Main" report have an invoice object as DataSource, and then have a subreport in the details-section that is bound to the List of Invoice lines?

EDIT: This is all done programatically, to be able to create a pdf. :)

Cheers,
E

Nvm, find my own solution to this now. By just setting the subreports datasource manually to the list. But maybe there is a smarter way so I won't need to do that.

Do you have a sample solution? I have been trying to get this working for a while.

Much appreciated.

I have a main report

It's called InvoiceReport.

Its details section has a subReport.

So all I do is to create an InvoiceReport and an InvoiceLinesReport.

Then I set InvoiceLinesReport.DataSource = my List<InvoiceLine>

Then InvoiceReport.subReport.ReportSource = InvoiceLinesReport.

That's it. Hope it's clear enough. :)
