We are looking to convert some Crystal Reports to use telerik. We have a subweb that displays all our reports based on report display type and what report is to be displayed.
All report requests are directed to the same page which takes a uniqueidentifier id to determine which report to display. We take our XML report data and convert it to a dataset to be used by the report.datasource. What I can't figure out is how to specify which report to use. A previous post said to use the following instead of instead of the IReportDocument syntax.

Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = New Report()
report.DataSource = myDataSet
ReportViewer1.Report = report
ReportViewer1.DataBind()
So, my question is, how do I specify which report to use? We have hundreds of reports and would like to stick with our convention of having one aspx page that includes the report viewer. The included VB.ReportLibrary would then have the report templates.
Thank You for your help

Hello David Copp,
My colleague in your previous forum thread mentioned that the IReportDocument interface doesn't have a DataSource property, that means if you use it you will have to set the datasource in the Report itself.
Kind regards,

I understand that. My problem is that I need to set the datasource programmatically, so I need to be able to set which report is to be used programmatically.
I have changed my code to be the following:

ReportViewer1.Report = report
ReportViewer1.DataBind()
This is in the page load of the aspx page that has the ReportViewer on it. Is there a way to programmatically specify which report to display.

Hello David Copp,
You could try to set the DataSource within the Report itself. Check out the articles Adding a Data Source Programmatically and Adding a Data Source through NeedDataSource report event.
