Hello.

You can use Business objects in Stimulsoft Reports Designer.Web, except one moment: you can't add Business object as Data Source in the Designer Dictionary. You can add it with code report.regBisunessObject() or in WinForms Designer.

Thank you.

Hi ,

I have tried the way u have advised.

Code: Select all

            var report = new StiReport();

            var dataContext = new DataContext();

            var custQuery =
                from cust in dataContext.Customers.AsEnumerable()
                where cust.City == "London"
                select cust;

            report.RegData("Customer", custQuery);

            report.RegBusinessObject("Customer2", custQuery);


            webDesigner.Design(report);

but when i got the designer view data source is not bound.if i try to preview the report data is not there.
here i have attached the screen shot of it.



tnx

Hello,

If you want to display data in the WebDesigner in prewiew, you need to implement the GetPreviewDataSet method for a designer.

Thank you.
