Set Table column headings from DataTable column headings

[Kevin Y]

I have created a Report in the Designer which contains a Table with a fixed number of columns.  When I added the columns, it set the column heading to the default "string= same as the database field name".  In the application, we create a DataTable object(called DetailsTable) populating the column headings from a resource file and the table rows with the data.  The Report DataSource is set through the NeedDataSource event shown.

What I would like to know is what expression can I use to bring in the column headings from the DataTable object?
The objective is to remove all "hardcoded" strings from our reports.

private void table1_NeedDataSource_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var objectDataSource = new ObjectDataSource();
    objectDataSource.DataSource = ((BestFitStepDetailsReportView)this.DataSource).StepDetailsTable;
    (sender as Processing.Table).DataSource = objectDataSource;
}

Hello Kevin Y,

Since your table is static the data source does not need to be set at run-time. You can easily achieve the same result using a simple binding ( I have attached a screenshot of the table binding). The property "Friends" represents your "StepDetailsTable". About the column headers they can be set in the Report() constructor after the InitializeComponent();

 public Report1()         
{           
	InitializeComponent();   

	//get my custom collection of header names          
	var headings = DataSourceClass.GetTable1Headings();            
	int i = 0;             
	foreach (var cg in table1.ColumnGroups)             
	{                
		var reportItem = cg.ReportItem as Telerik.Reporting.TextBox;
		reportItem.Value = headings[i];                 
		i++;          
	}       
}

You can take a look at the sample project that I have attached.
