Hi all,

I'm actually working with Entity Framework Code First (DB created from coded model), but believe that Telerik Reporting doesn't yet support this. Therefore, I've created myself an edmx file from the SQL database for this purpose.

When I create a new report, the wizard launches and I'm able to select a new Entity Data Source, select the connection created with the edmx file and the context. After that, I'm presented with the Choose an Object Context Member dialog, asking me to select a member of the object context that will return data. Unfortunately, I'm unsure as to what I should be selecting at this point. Say I have a model named Products. Right now, all I'm interested in is returning every product. How would I go about this? Selecting the Products model from the dialog and clicking Finish returns an "Exception has been thrown by the target of a invocation" error.

Any help much appreciated!
