ReportSource Property

[Jerry Jansen]

Just upgraded telerik reporting to 6.1.12.611 and I don't understand how to use the ReportSource property in code behind.

Here is my current section of code which worked in the previous version:

        If dtrReader.HasRows Then
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            dt.Load(dtrReader)
            ReportViewer1.Visible = True
            ReportViewer1.Report.Reports(0).DataSource = dt
            ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
        End If

and this line of code no longer works: 

ReportViewer1.Report.Reports(0).DataSource = dt

and gives the warning that the Report property is now obsolete. Please use the ReportSource property instead.

I can not figure out how to use the ReportSource property. Can someone please show me how to use it?

Thanks,

Hello Jerry,

Here is a sample code that can help you use the new InstanceReportSource with the ReportSource property:

InstanceReportSource reportSource = new InstanceReportSource();
reportSource.ReportDocument = new Report1();
reportSource.ReportDocument.Reports.Where(rep => rep.Name == "ReportName").FirstOrDefault().DataSource = myDataSource;
ReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportSource;

In the example above new Report Book is created for example and the datasource of the first report is changed. After that the viewer uses the newly created InstanceReportSource.

All the best,

Thanks IvanY 

I finally figured it out.
