Hi,
My application writes out to a basic CSV flat file, which I then want to report on.
I am had a look in the report designer but can not figure out how to use the flat file as the source of my report so that I can design the report.
I would also then need to be able to change the location of where the source csv flat file is at run time.
Is this possible ?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Telerik Reporting does not provide its own data layer but depends on the existing .NET objects (DataSet, Data Table, DataView, ADO.NET, lists - for more information on report data binding, please, refer to this help topic). Therefore the developer is responsible for preparing and providing the datasource for the reports. In your case you can use ODBC or OleDb to prepare the data and bind the report to it.
All the best,
