I have the trial or Telerik reporting.  I went through 2 videos (intro and data) and part of the pdf file.  I have a project with many object data sources already defined.  I am trying to use them in a new Telerik report I added to the project.  I tried going through the wizard, and the only way I could get to the data object names was to go to "Business Object" under choose a data souce type.  Then I choose the App_Code.5zwoels(), and then DataSet1TableAdapters, and the various TableAdapters are listed there.  However, when I choose one, all I get in the data explorer are 3 itesm:  "ClearBeforeFill', "Container" and "Site".  No field names.  What am I missing?

Hello Amy,

Having an App_Code.5zwoels assembly means that this is a website. The second part of it is auto-generated every time the website is re-built and thus, it cannot be used in such a way. As mentioned in the Best Practices help article, you should have the reports in a separate class library that is references in the web/win app/site. The same goes for your datasets - it is preferable that they are in the same project where the reports reside.
