how can I load datatable as ReportDataSource?

Question

i am trying to do something like:

this.reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = this.inputValuesTableAdapter.GetData();    
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource rprtDTSource = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource();

rprtDTSource = dt; // this line generates exception   

//this.reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rprtDTSource);
this.reportViewer.RefreshReport();

how can I load datatable as ReportDataSource?

the current code produces: "Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Data.DataTable' to 'Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource' "

Answer 1

You are not initializing the ReportDataSouce correctly. Give this a try:

this.reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear(); 
DataTable dt = new DataTable(); 
dt = this.inputValuesTableAdapter.GetData();     

Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource rprtDTSource = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource(dt.TableName, dt); 

this.reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rprtDTSource); 
this.reportViewer.RefreshReport(); 

Also, you might need to alter the first parameter to the ReportDataSource constructor to set the name of the datasource that your report is expecting.
