Hi,
I've been playing around with Telerik Report for just a couple days (basically reading the documentation and watching some videos) and have some questions. They are probable really basic questions, but since I didn't find so far an answer for them in the documentation nor by searching in the forum, I post them here.
I am trying to set a telerik report without having any DataBase conexion, so I thought on using a List (e.g. List<MyClass>) as DataSource.
How should I do this?
Until now, I added the DataSource programmatically, but then how do I connect the properties of the list elements (of type MyClass) with table/list/... cells?
Should I better define somehow the list as a project dataSource? how can I do this?
Does my approach make sense?
As I said at the beginning, I know these are probably beginner's questions, but I'm blocked!
Thanks!
Marta

Open the Visual Studio examples and review the List Bound report example to see how to bind to a List datasource.

This doesn't work for me, not sure why, but every time I try to bound the report to a Business Object (from another project ) with the data type being a DataSet(I also tried DataTable) it never binds. I try to do this through the Data Source Configuration Wizard. It (the wizard) sees the objects but when I go to Data Explorer, NOTHING. Why?
Also, I tried to do this programmatically as well.
IISearchCaseReports _search = new IISearchCaseReports();
DataSet _ds = IICaseReportsHandler.SearchAgingReport(_search);
this.DataSource = _ds.Tables[1];
at which it tells me that "the requested database [db_name] is not defined in configuration." even though I set the connectionstring in the app_config.
<add name="my__string_db_name"
connectionString="Data Source=my_server;Initial Catalog=db;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=my_password"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
what gives?
The only time I get data from the database is when I choose "database" from the dataconfguration wizard. I cannot use this however because our standards dictate that we use the business objects we create.
A thorough explanation of this scenario is present in my reply in this forum thread. Please review it carefully and let us know how it goes.
