ObjectView as DataSource in Telerik Report

I hope this is the best place to ask this.  In evaluating Telerik OpenAccess ORM, I was working my way through your tutorial "OpenAccess-MadeEasy.pdf".  I was making very good progress until I came to the section "Telerik Reporting Example".  I followed the steps carefully until I reached step # 14.  I was not able to choose my ObjectView ovCategory as a DataSource for the Report.  It is not listed in the options from the dropdown.  I will mention that I am using VS 2010 as my IDE.  My OpenAccess dll is version 2010.1.312.2.  My Reporting dll is version 4.0.10.423.  My 5_ORM_MyReports projects targets the .Net Framework 4.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Stuart

Hi Stuart Miller,

Unfortunately there is no out of the box way to bind a Telerik Report to OpenAccess ORM business object in the current version. The good news is that we're currently working on a new Data Source Component that would allow you to do that easily. More information is present in our RoadMap.

Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience.

I was working thru the same tutorial and encountered the similar situation where the ObjectView is not available as DataSource for the Report. I'm wondering is this particular tutorial written for previous version of Telerik Reporting? Is there a previous version of Telerik Reporting that would work with this tutorial?

Hello TC,

The tutorial has been written prior to Q1 2010 release of Telerik Reporting, and since we have introduced our new Data Source Components and changed our data engine. As stated in the previous reply, we're already working on a new data source component for OpenAccess ORM that would allow for seamless integration in the upcoming Q2 release expected at beginning of July.

Greetings,
