I noticed that there are currently plans underway to better integrate OpenAccess with Telerik Reporting.  I am excited to see how this will work.  In the meantime, I need to get some reports working right now. 

I have a view in my database that I use for reporting.  It gathers values from multiples tables, joins them together and returns a linear result set.  For example, the following returns a customer's id, first name, last name, order number, order date and product by joining data from three tables:

select   
  c.Id, c.FirstName, c.LastName, co.OrderNumber, co.OrderDate, coi.Product  
from   
  Customer c  
inner join   
  CustomerOrder co on c.Id = co.CustomerId  
inner join   
  CustomerOrderItem coi on co.Id = coi.CustomerOrderId  
where   
  co.OrderDate between @StartDate and @EndDate  
order by   
  co.OrderDate, c.FirstName, c.LastName  
 

Forgive me if this is already documented.  However, I cannot seem to find any proper documentation or examples on how to handle this scenario.  Do I somehow create a read-only class that has the same fields that are returned by the view?

Hello Brandon,
Views are not yet supported by OpenAccess ORM but this is one of our main tasks for the near future. This feature will be available by the beginning of 2009. For now you can workaround this by querying the same results using, for example, a Linq query.

var x = from scope.Extent<CustomerOrderItem>() as coi where coi.Order.OrderDate >= startVar and coi.Order.OrderDate <= endVar select coi;

You just need to have two local arguments startVar and endVar or type DateTime.
